India’s Four Labour Codes: A Transformational Reform

India’s Four Labour Codes (2019–2020) unify 29 old laws into one modern framework. They guarantee minimum wages, timely payments, equal pay, and social security for all workers, while simplifying compliance for employers. By extending protections to gig, platform, and contract labour, and ensuring safety, health, and industrial harmony, these reforms mark a historic shift toward a transparent, inclusive, and future-ready economy.
