Abstract

The gig economy is emerging as a dominant force in urban labour markets, offering flexible employment to a growing number of individuals. However, the lack of social security benefits among gig workers has raised concerns about their long-term financial stability. This study explores the relationship between access to social security schemes and the financial well-being of gig workers in Indore city. Using a sample size of 100 respondents from various gig platforms, this research employs descriptive and inferential statistics to assess levels of awareness, accessibility, and impact of these benefits. The findings emphasize the urgent need for policy intervention to ensure inclusive and sustainable support systems for gig workers.
