Listen "Decoding India's Labour Codes"
Episode Synopsis
In 2019-2020, Parliament passed four labour codes which merged twenty-nine existing labour laws into four broad categories intended to ensure, inter alia, universalisation of wages and social security, ensuring a safe and healthy workplace and formalisation of employment. With the Union government announcing its intention for the implementation of these codes to begin across states by April 1, 2025, what are some of the hurdles that informal workers may face with these new codes? Join Kripa Koshy (Programme Manager, Takshashila) and Pankil Goswami (PhD candidate, McGill University, School of Social Work) as they unpack the implementation struggles, the case for welfare boards and other complex considerations in the Indian context.The PGP is a comprehensive 48-week hybrid programme tailored for those aiming to delve deep into the theoretical and practical aspects of public policy.
