Workers rarely own household assets like cars or washing machines and lack access to skill upgradation, provident funds, health insurance, maternity/paternity leave, or other benefits. Logistic regression indicates that job satisfaction is positively correlated with education and home assets like air conditioners and refrigerators but negatively with incentives, radio and bike ownership.
