Labour ministry to come up with a social security policy for gig, platform workers
platform workers by February next year and will launch a module on the e-Shram portal on Monday to facilitate enrollment of platform workers by their aggregators.
The ministry is considering all options, including issuing a unique Id to all gig workers and enabling transaction based contribution by aggregators towards the social security benefits to gig workers, an official source said on Thursday.
“The ministry hopes to put in place a policy to give social security to all platform workers before the Union Budget next year,” the source said, adding the benefits could include health security and pension security.
A labour ministry committee, comprising of all stakeholders, is finalising the draft policy which will define gig workers and their relationship with the employers and determine the employer’s contribution.
Earlier in the day, labour and employment minister Mansukh Mandaviya met the employees’ association of platform and gig workers and sought their views on the social security benefits needed for the sector.
