Well- being and happiness are essential attributes for a meaningful life. Well- being is the sum total of all positive emotions and satisfactions, whereas happiness is an emotional expression of a pleasant mental state.

Most of them are women and less educated, and come under the category of unorganized workers. The chapter follows the unstructured interview method of qualitative methodology for exploring the experiences of garment industry workers in relation to their well- being and happiness. Based on their narratives, the chapter enlists the drawbacks in the sector and gives specific policy guidelines to ensure their well- being and better productivity. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
