Labor laws in India
Labor laws in India are designed to protect workers' rights and ensure fair working conditions. They cover aspects like fair wages, working hours, safety standards, and prohibition of child and forced labor. Key laws include the Factories Act, to regulate factory safety; the Minimum Wages Act, ensuring workers earn a decent living; and the Employees’ Provident Fund Act, providing retirement benefits. These laws apply to various sectors, with specific rules for organized and unorganized workers, and are enforced by government authorities to promote fair employment practices and safeguard worker welfare.
