KEY POINTS

·        The migrant crisis after the first lockdown compelled policy-makers to make certain provisions for them in the schemes announced for the assistance of the poor.

·        The Supreme Court finally delivered its judgment on the plight of the migrant labour, confined to the framework of existing social security schemes.

·        The National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (NCEUS) had pointed out that the circular migrant workers were a disadvantaged segment among informal workers.

·        It advocated a comprehensive law for the protection of the rights of all informal workers, including migrants, home workers, and domestic workers.

·        The Covid-19 crisis underscored the additional vulnerabilities faced by segments of informal workers based on their social and cultural identity, and position in the labour market.

·        The UN mooted in 2009 when it spelt out the social protection floor (SPF) initiative after the global financial crisis.

·        The report of the Advisory Committee of the ILO, provide a strong rationale for instituting an universal SPF during economic crises.

·        Estimates show that the central government’s expenditure on all major social protection programmes declined from 1.96 per cent of GDP in 2008-09 to 1.6 per cent in 2013-14.

·        To end the silent, painful, and enduring crisis for the workers, as well as the crisis for the economy, the government must urgently recognise the right to social security.
