The Core Report
Gender participation challenges in gig work
Balasubramanian and Arpita examine low female participation, physical demands, safety, vehicle registration issues, and access to training.
India’s gig economy is rewriting the rules of work.
Behind the rapid growth lies a deeper story — one of transformation and tension. The gig economy represents freedom and flexibility for some, uncertainty and precarity for others.
In this special series, Eye on Retail, supported by Flipkart, Govindraj Ethiraj explores a conversation that examines how digital platforms, e-commerce, and logistics networks are reshaping India’s employment landscape.
Joining him are Dr. Arpita Mukherjee, Professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), and A. Balasubramanian, Senior Vice President at TeamLease Services.
