During the discussions, Union Minister highlighted the steps the government has taken under the leadership of Prime Minister to eliminate discrimination in labour markets.

Union Minister said for greater inclusion of women in our workforce India has increased paid maternity leave from 12 weeks to 26 weeks, made provision for mandatory crèche facilities in establishments having 50 or more employees, and permitted women workers in the night shifts with adequate safety measures.

The Minister said the country is also making efforts to extend the benefits of social security to unorganised workers. He said the e-Shram portal is a step towards extending social security to all. The government is also skilling, upskilling and reskilling workers for the same, he added.

Union Minister held a tripartite interaction with employers and employees associations in Geneva on the sidelines of the 111th International Labour Conference. The Miniter heard their concerns and apprised them about how the government is making efforts for both workers’ welfare and ease of doing business.
