Access to social security and social welfare has become a fundamental human right for which every individual is entitled to as a member of the society. It is a pertinent aspect for the establishment of public policy today as it gives assurance from the risk coming from uncertainty in the jobs. In this dynamic and contingent time of employment, social security serves as an economic, social and financial justice to the human diasporas with different needs. However the social security of the workers is not equally distributed in various segments of the society. Social security in organised sector is highly regulated but is least regulated in unorganised sector. Moreover women workers in the unorganised sector are facing major issues as they are less aware of the legal frameworks provided for their protection as compared to their male counterparts. They still lack the education and skills set which is required as a bare minimum to sustain their life. The purpose of newly reformed Code on Social security is to simplify and modernise the complicated and exhaustive labour regulation so as to provide a universal social welfare benefits and assistance to all workers, including women in unorganised sector, gig and platform workers. There still a gap in equal distribution of legislation because of gender parity and the biological and physical built differences between the men and women. The paper will give an insights on salient features of the new reformed code on social security. It will further discuss about the steps taken by the Government for its contrasting challenges and implications in the contemporary times and its impact on women employment in unorganised sector. Lastly suggestions to improve the working condition of women in unorganised sector shall be highlighted.
