Rights in Crisis: Indian Gig Economy and Workers' Rights
In the inaugural conversation for the Rights in Crisis series, Prof Sandra Fredman will be in conversation with Prof. Janaki Srinivasan to discuss the nature of Indian gig economy and its impact on workers’ rights. This discussion will explore the precarious conditions of gig workers in India, the legal frameworks shaping their rights, and the broader implications of platform economies on labor protections. With rising digital employment, questions of fair wages, job security, and social protections are more pressing than ever.
