Abstract: The social security system will surely show gig workers a lot of warm respect while highlighting their challenges. People have chosen to work as independent contractors or freelancers on projects for numerous businesses. This study aims to identify the social security policies implemented for gig workers. The study's objectives include learning more about gig workers and their place in the Indian economy and exploring the difficulties they encounter. A computerized literature review was used. According to the research, gig workers have been found to have promising futures and contribute more to the economy. Whenever the social security Programme covers them, gig workers must constantly increase their expertise through upskilling and reskilling to be competitive. The study is limited to the gig economy without considering other significant sectors of the Indian economy. It sheds light on the initiatives taken by social security to improve a lot of gig workers. According to the study's findings, market structure and labour market data are needed for policymakers to create an effective strategy for promoting the gig economy as a new source of growth.
