ABSTRACT


The gig economy has transformed the nature of employment by introducing flexible, task-based work arrangements facilitated by digital platforms. While it provides income opportunities and flexibility, it also raises serious concerns regarding labour rights and social security. This paper examines the concept of the gig economy, its growth in India, and the legal challenges faced by gig workers. It critically analyses existing welfare measures and highlights gaps in the regulatory framework, emphasizing the need for comprehensive reforms to ensure worker protection.


Keywords: Gig Economy, Platform Workers, Labour Law, Social Security, India.
