Reform and Codification of Labour Laws

Reform and Codification of Labour Laws Weekly Issue: for UPSC Civil Services Prelims and Mains Examination 2020.

The problem came to the forefront as lockdowns due to COVID-19 affected India’s economy.

This exposed the absence of basic safety nets for large sections of the labour force and has forced us to re-evaluate and reform our current institutional framework of labour laws.
