देश में इस साल की शुरुआत में ही बढ़ी गर्मी ने न केवल दिहाड़ी मजदूरों और खेतिहर मजदूरों की सेहत पर असर डाला है, बल्कि उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति को भी प्रभावित किया है। और इसका असर देश की जीडीपी पर पड़ता है क्योंकि बढ़ते तापमान से काम के घंटे तो कम हुए ही हैं, और उत्पादकता पर भी असर पड़ रहा है।

The unprecedented heatwaves that arrived early this year in the country have affected not just the health of daily wage labourers and farm workers, but has also had an impact on their economic well being. And this has a direct bearing on the GDP of the country as the rising temperatures are going to lead to a loss of working hours and productivity.
