Abstract This study examines the issue of social insecurity among workers in Coir Vyavasaya Co-operative Societies (CVCSs) in Kerala. The analysis shows that most workers belong to socially and economically underprivileged sections. Despite various government initiatives aimed at improving their welfare, many workers continue to experience social, employment, income, and labour market insecurity. The study assesses workers’ perceptions regarding the adequacy of social security benefits provided by the Coir Workers Welfare Board. Using seven statements measured on a five-point scale, the research evaluates both the sufficiency of these benefits and the level of workers’ awareness about them. The findings highlight the continued vulnerability of coir workers and the need for improved social security support.
