The Stakeholders’ Meet is a multi-party policy forum in this simulation rather than a statutory parliamentary body or UN organ. It brings together workers, platform companies, government representatives, economists, labour experts, civil-society groups and other affected stakeholders to negotiate practical policy solutions. The purpose is to ensure that different interests are represented when employment models change faster than conventional labour institutions. Because gig and platform work can provide flexible earning opportunities while also creating uncertainty about wages, benefits and employment status, the forum must address both worker protection and the sustainability of platform-based businesses.
 

Agenda: Ensuring social security and fair working conditions for gig and platform workers in India.
 

India's Code on Social Security, 2020 formally recognizes the categories of gig workers and platform workers and provides a framework for social-security schemes, including provisions relating to life and disability cover, accident insurance, health and maternity benefits and old-age protection. The agenda asks how these protections can become effective in practice while maintaining viable digital labour markets. Delegates may examine social-security registration, portability of benefits, accident coverage, minimum standards for transparency, grievance redress, algorithmic management, ratings and deactivation, working-time concerns, collective representation and contributions from aggregators. A key issue is classification: platform workers may not fit neatly into the traditional employee-versus-self-employed distinction.
