Title: Social security for all Indians
Description: "Social security for all Indians was a basic commitment by the Indian state to its people on the eve of Independence. While the Constitution spells out various elements, the availability of contingent social security in India remains heavily weighted in favour of public employees and workers in the organized sector. This book reflects a growing awareness that the extension of formal social insurance cannot be the simple answer to the need for social protection of the large majority of the Indian population. It also discusses how social security can be extended to all Indians, especially the marginalized sections 'like women and workers in the unorganized sector." "This book will provide valuable insights to students, policy-makers, social security organizations and international development agencies."--BOOK JACKET.
