The present study investigates the structure and functioning of the glass industry cluster in Firozabad and examines the major challenges and opportunities influencing sustainable employment in the sector. The research is based on both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data were collected through field surveys, structured questionnaires, personal interviews, and direct observations of glass manufacturing units and workers involved in different stages of the production process. Secondary data were sourced from District Industrial Profile reports, Census of India publications, MSME and DCMSME reports, academic studies, government documents, and newspaper sources.
