Abstract

Social security measures for contract labor should guarantee hassle-free access to various services such as disability benefits, medical facilities for injuries, compensation for loss of earning capacity due to work-related injuries, old age, dependent benefits, maternity benefits, etc. for the well-being of the contract labor along with his or her family members. Over the past century, many countries have strengthened their social security measures for their working class, and it has been regarded as an integral part of human rights for a healthy society. In India, various legislations have been enacted to protect the rights of the workers, yet the social security benefits have not reached the contract labor in real terms. This paper attempts to critically examine the various social security measures for contract labor under various labor laws in India.
