India's Efforts to Support Gig and Platform Workers Through e-Shram Portal
The Ministry of Labour and Employment in India has established the e-Shram portal to register and support unorganised workers such as gig and platform workers. The portal provides these workers with a Universal Account Number (UAN) for social security benefits. Recent developments include the integration of an Aggregator module and the enforcement of the Code on Social Security, 2020, to provide legal definitions and welfare measures for gig and platform workers. The government has also announced benefits such as identity cards and expanded healthcare coverage through the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
