Govt Mulling To Introduce Social Security Scheme For Gig Workers

The Indian government is considering introducing a social security scheme for gig workers to address concerns over job security, health benefits, and retirement savings. The proposal comes amid rapid growth in the gig economy, which has created jobs but left many workers without adequate protections. The government aims to offer financial security to gig workers by providing them with access to social security benefits such as health insurance and pensions. This move will address the gap in labor protection for gig workers in the country.
