Abstract
Equality and non-discrimination is one of the fundamental principles of international laws;, it is established in the form of laws related to the working class and the constitutional frameworks of many countries, including India. Ironically, the principle of equal pay for equal work appears to be a far-reaching objective for contract workers in India. Very little progress has been made in this area despite the Contract Law (Regulation & Abolition) Act of 1970. Although the judiciary has also highlighted the functionality, the situation differs greatly from the desired policy outcomes. This study examines the applicability of equal pay for equal work. Some corrective measures are suggested for its effective implementation in light of Indian employment dynamics.
