India
needs to tweak the definition of job to include self-employed: Mansukh
Mandaviya
Extract from the article:
In a recent development, Mansukh Mandaviya, a
prominent figure, has highlighted the necessity for India to expand the
traditional definition of a job to encompass self-employment.
He emphasizes the need to recognize and
support the growing population of self-employed individuals who contribute
significantly to the economy but often fall outside the conventional job
framework.
This perspective sheds light on the evolving
nature of work and the importance of adapting policies to reflect the diverse
forms of employment present in the current landscape.
Mandaviya's advocacy for revisiting the notion
of a job to be inclusive of self-employment resonates with the changing
dynamics of the workforce.
By acknowledging and incorporating
self-employed individuals into the job definition, it opens up avenues for
tailored support and recognition, ultimately fostering a more holistic approach
to employment practices and policies in India.
My Take:
Gig
Economy - A New Name for Self-Employment
"The call to tweak the definition of a
job to include self-employed individuals, as suggested by Mandaviya, reflects a
significant shift towards recognizing the gig economy as a substantial
contributor to the workforce.
In my
blog from 2021, I emphasized the potential of self-employment in creating
millions of new jobs annually. Mandaviya's proposal aligns with my views on the
importance of empowering individuals to be self-employed as a means to boost
economic growth and job creation."
Thank
You, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri
"My earlier blog highlighted the essence
of self-employment in honoring the dignity of labor and providing opportunities
for millions of unemployed individuals.
Mandaviya's push to redefine jobs to include
self-employment echoes the need to uplift and support those venturing into
entrepreneurial endeavors with minimal investments. It's encouraging to see
this notion gaining traction in policymaking."
Call to Action:
To Mansukh Mandaviya and policymakers: Embrace
the inclusive approach to job definitions that encompass self-employment.
Implement supportive policies that recognize and nurture the contributions of
self-employed individuals, fostering a more dynamic and inclusive workforce for
India's economic growth and prosperity.
