Gig work industry accused of dehumanizing India's workforce

The gig work industry in India has been criticized for undermining humane employment practices. Workers engaged in continuous earning through gig platforms face severe stress and poor working conditions, raising concerns about labour standards.

The debate highlights how the rapid expansion of platform-based work has shifted away from traditional employment protections. Labour advocates argue that gig workers lack job security, health benefits, and reasonable working hours, despite contributing significantly to the economy.
