POST–SOCIAL SECURITY CODE REALITIES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF LEGAL PROTECTION FOR GIG WORKERS

In the twenty-first century, the rapid expansion of platform-based works has
replaced the traditional employment relationships in India. The nature of work
and employment has changed fundamentally because of technology,
globalisation, and the digitalisation of labour markets.In India, the gig economy
has grown quickly in the last few years, especially in areas like ride-hailing, food
delivery, logistics, domestic services, and digital freelancing. Digital platforms
connect customers with service providers for companies like Uber, Rapido,
Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit, Ola, Urban Company, Nobroker and others. These
workers are often called gig workers or platform workers.
