The Hindu
The Economic Survey 2025-26 highlights Labour Codes' role in enhancing formal employment and worker security for women and gig workers.
Effective implementation of Labour Codes would play a key role in supporting formal employment and improving security for women and gig workers, the Economic Survey for 2025-26 has stated.
The document, tabled in Parliament on Thursday (January 29, 2026), noted that four codes were notified (on November 21, 2025), and rules are expected to be in place in the next few months.
It suggested that as definitions of work continue to evolve, dynamic labour policy and flexible regulatory frameworks would ensure employment expansion, worker security and well-being.
