About Social Compact 
Social Compact is a multistakeholder movement that brings together corporates, worker organizations and experts into a co-solutioning relationship to ensure greater dignity and industry-employed informal workers in India. Social Compact advocates the idea of resetting business aspiration to build back better, with the ideology that
‘responsible business is successful business’.


Our Approach 
​The movement offers a human-centric framework, home grown with the experience of worker organizations to help industries reflect on the maturity of their worker practices. The journey from reflection to remedial action is all co-created by industry and worker organizations, to ensure meaningful and sustainable inclusion of worker wellbeing in industry systems.

The confines of invisibility for single women in India - Reflections from the field
The instinctive bias that prioritizes conventional families in India has given fuel to single women’s invisibility in today’s society and the workforce. As they fall through the cracks of government framework for entitlements and business infrastructure, where is the designated space held for single women to claim their livelihoods, as individuals and not mere dependents?

Blog | eShram and eNirman Schemes helping unorganised workers?
India’s social security system is fractured, and there are different attempts, tokenistic or otherwise, being taken from time to time. One such recent attempt (post covid response) was the introduction of informal workers’ social security portals like eShram (pan India) and eNirman (building and other construction workers, Gujarat).

Blog | Schemes are just plastic cards if they don't translate into benefits
