Background
Overview
This concept is crucial for understanding labor market dynamics, social justice issues, the role of the state as an employer, challenges in public administration, and the implications of informalization of labor on welfare and economic development. It often features in discussions on social security, poverty alleviation, and inclusive growth.
Contractual labor refers to workers employed for a specific period or task, often through third-party contractors, lacking the benefits and job security of regular employees. In public services, this model is increasingly adopted for various roles, raising concerns about worker welfare, social security, and the quality of public service delivery. The demand for regularisation seeks to grant these workers permanent employment status, ensuring better pay, benefits, and job security.
