Conundrums of Capturing Informality: The Realities and Aspirations of Women Gig Workers in India

April 2023: As part of a knowledge partnership exercise with LabourNet Services, IT for Change conducted a baseline survey of 210 urban informal women workers who are enrolled in LabourNet's skills development program for platform workers. The baseline survey sought to measure various sociological and economic factors that affect women's access to decent work across two cities, Bangalore and Mumbai.
