    The unorganised sector forms a major part of the workforce in Goa and plays a vital role in supporting the state’s economy. However, unorganised labourers often face challenges such as irregular income, lack of social security and poor working conditions, which affect their livelihood security and job satisfaction. This study examines the level of livelihood security and job satisfaction among unorganised labourers in Goa and analyses the relationship between these two variables. The study is based on primary data collected from 152 unorganised labourers using a structured questionnaire. Statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation, regression, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA were applied using statistical software. The findings show a significant positive relationship between livelihood security and job satisfaction. Regression analysis further confirms that livelihood security is a strong predictor of job satisfaction, indicating that improvements in income stability, social protection, and working conditions can enhance workers’ satisfaction levels. The study concludes that improving livelihood security is essential for enhancing the overall well-being and job satisfaction of unorganised labourers. It recommends strengthening social protection measures, improving income opportunities and implementing supportive labour policies to improve their quality of life and employment conditions.
