Right now I'm writing an essay on the Dharavi slums, this is what I have found: (And yes I know that this is ten years ago.)
-
The average amount a single person in the Dharavi slums will make per day is around $1.25 or £0.80. They can do this by making leather, textiles or pottery to sell out. Other, more hazardous jobs include burning paint off of used paint cans, and burning batteries.
-
Despite being built on an old rubbish tip, there is a very well thought out recycling process that earns most of Dharavi's money income, along with the leather manufacturing. The people of Dharavi will recycle almost everything and anything they can.

Because Dharavi is so densely populated, many people have to go to the toilet in the streets as there aren’t enough working toilets in the slum. Also, the Dharavi people are respectful to their surroundings, every sq. inch counts and 80% of rubbish, their waste is recycled. There are limited jobs in the slums, and most people work in the same room that they live. The people who sort through earn £1 per day! The people are not only respectful to their surroundings, but respect each other; this means that Dharavi has a very low crime rate. All the people look out for each other.

Slums are poorly kept places in all cities in the world with over 10,000 inhabitants.

Why have slums been called slums of hope?
Slums are often quoted as slums of hope or slums of dispair depending on the conditions it actually is in. They are called slums of hope because they allow people living in the slums to transit into a better lifestyle with time given the economic opportunities to propel forward. One example would be Dharavi in Mumbai where the the informal economy provides jobs for the biggest slum in Asia. It has created an estimated 5000 businesses and 15000 single room factories (wiki). Also the recycling industry is quite famous for the Dharavi's 13th compound a place where over 8-% of Mumbai's waste is given a new lease of life. It is know as the 'Dharavi's Recycling Miracle', the ecological heart of Mumbai, recycling up to 85% of all waste materials produced by the ciity. This is a pertinent example of how a slum provides jobs for the dwellers, giving them a hope of a possible climb up the social ladder with time. There are many more examples of how slums have given people a new lease of life, a life better from being in a state of homelessness - coined by geographers as a state in which one lacks a permanent roof.
