Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
In what would be some much-needed news for gig economy workers, the government is planning to provide subsidised health care facilities to such employees. Moreover, gig economy companies might not be pushed to contribute towards social security cover for its employees. The government is seeking to provide medical treatment at subsidised rates from the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) hospitals and dispensaries from across the country. This move may come as a huge relief to the companies as they would not need to bear the social security costs of the workers.
