GIG ECONOMY: - INCLUSION OF UNORGANIZED WORKFORCE IN ORGANIZED SECTOR

The inclusion of the unorganized workforce in the organized sector has become a pressing issue in developing
countries. This research paper investigates the challenges and opportunities for the inclusion of the unorganized
workforce in the organized sector. The unorganized workforce, which includes informal and self-employed workers,
lacks social protection, job security, and access to basic rights such as minimum wages, health benefits, and pensions.
The paper reviews the existing literature on the subject and explores the factors affecting the inclusion of the
unorganized workforce in the organized sector, including legal and regulatory frameworks, institutional capacity,
and market demand. The paper also highlights the potential benefits of inclusion, such as increased productivity,
higher wages, and improved working conditions. Using a case study approach, the paper analyses successful models
of inclusion in India and other developing countries, and identifies key lessons learned. The paper concludes that
inclusive policies and practices can lead to a more equitable and sustainable economy, and recommends a range of
policy options to promote the inclusion of the unorganized workforce in the organized sector.
