Slums are often located at the outskirts of cities on unused land. Often, around these areas, rubbish is dumped from the cities. People who live in slums often scavenge through this rubbish to find materials to build their houses with, however many look for objects that can be sold in the rubbish dumps and they sell them (e.g shoes, scrap metal, electronics). Other jobs can include basic jobs like shoe-shining and singing. Many children/adults go to cities and beg to earn money. This type of work known as work in the informal sector and so is untaxed

How are people in slums treated?
Well, by slums I assume you mean Indian slums commonly seen in those adverts made to tug at your heart strings. First of all, you have to understand the different groups of people who may come into contact with the slums. The first being residents. Residents there may treat each other relatively fine, unless divided by political, religious or Gang violence. So it differs depending on the circumstance. The second group of people would be middle class people. I'm sure they'd avoid the slums if possible, but if they did have to go into the slums for some unknown reason, I doubt they'd look too favourable on the conditions and people. But again, it depends entirely on how liberal the individuals is and their understanding to the situation of people living in slums.
