Welfare Measures For Gig Workers, Jan Viswhwas Bill 2.0 : Union Budget 2025 Proposals

The Union Budget 2025 proposed several welfare measures aimed at improving the conditions of gig workers, such as those in the digital economy. A key proposal was the introduction of the Jan Viswaha Bill 20, which seeks to extend social security benefits to workers in the gig economy. The bill will address concerns regarding labor rights, insurance, pensions, and access to healthcare. The initiative intends to regulate the gig workforce more effectively, ensuring better protections, fair compensation, and safe working conditions. It is seen as a significant step towards recognizing gig work as a formal sector, ensuring workers are treated with dignity and have their rights safeguarded under the law.
