Abstract
The increasingly digitalizing world
requires a regulatory framework at
this juncture. Some of the developed
countries have taken legislative
initiatives for the gig business
model or are underway of incorporating
the regulatory framework.
India has gone an extra mile to club
the gig workers under the umbrella
of the unorganized sector and attempted
towards universal social
protection. This paper elucidates
the regulatory framework in India
comprehending the views of gig
workers. The findings revealed the
exploitation of platforms, distorted
employment relations, negligence
of the state and plea for legislative
remedies. While the new Labor
Codes have instigated groundwork
to simplify the provisions, the employment
regulation and social security
for the burgeoning platform
workforce have a long way to go.
