    Solution

    The Code on Social Security, 2020 is the first Indian legislation to formally recognize "gig workers" and "platform workers". It aims to provide social security benefits such as health insurance, maternity benefits, and provident fund coverage for workers in non-traditional work arrangements like food delivery apps and ride-sharing services. • This reflects the changing nature of the workforce in the digital economy.
