Major labour welfare reforms are expanding protection for workers in India. Now, even a single employee working in a hazardous sector can be eligible for ESIC benefits, removing the earlier threshold that required a minimum number of workers. This step strengthens social security coverage for vulnerable workers.

Another key reform under workplace safety laws introduces gender-neutral protection against sexual harassment. Complaints are no longer limited to women—male employees can also seek protection, making workplace safety more inclusive and equitable.

Together, these changes mark an important move toward stronger labour rights, safer workplaces, and wider social security coverage.
