Gig workers are freelancers or contractors who work independently, typically on a short term basis for multiple clients. Their work may be project-based, hourly or part-time. The gig workforce is expected to expand to 23.5 million workers by 2029-30, according to <a href="https://www.niti.gov.in/sites/default/files/2022-06/Policy_Brief_India%27s_Booming_Gig_and_Platform_Economy_27062022.pdf">Niti Ayog</a> as well. Currently, about 47% of the gig work is in medium skilled jobs, about 22% in high skilled, and about 31% in low skilled jobs, reported Niti Ayog. In a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/tech-cos-are-offering-longer-projects-full-time-jobs-to-gig-workers-nasscom/articleshow/95279523.cms">survey</a> conducted in November 2022 by NASSCOM, Indeed and AON, it was revealed that after the pandemic, employers are keen to hire gig workers for a duration of 12 months or more. The share of Indian tech companies hiring gig workers also rose to 65% in 2022, as compared to 57% in 2020. In some cases, gig workers are also being made permanent. In fact, a total of 53% of employees decided to absorb their gig workers as full-time employees, revealed the ‘Future of Workforce: Decoding Gig Workforce 2.0’ <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/tech-cos-are-offering-longer-projects-full-time-jobs-to-gig-workers-nasscom/articleshow/95279523.cms">Report</a>. In terms of job roles, door delivery is the most prevalent gig role employers are hiring- 22% for food and 26% for other delivery. Additionally, 16% of the employers surveyed are hiring gig workers for household/vehicle repairs and maintenance and for cab/two-wheeler driving, 10% are hiring for cleaning and 7% for personal care service roles, revealed Indeed report. “With the emergence of app-based models for roles like delivery and home services, there has been some degree of formalization in this sector, ” said <keyword id="323873" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="sashi-kumar" source="Orion">Sashi Kumar</keyword>, head of sales, <keyword id="6035866" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="indeed-india" source="Orion">Indeed India</keyword>. Challenges for gig job seekers As per the report, people choose gig jobs that complement their lifestyle, and offer flexible work hours - which, at times, allows them to earn money through two income sources. However, the study also shows that the biggest barriers for gig workers are lack of access to job information (62%), not knowing English (32%) and the local language (10%) for workers who have shifted outside of their home town for work. In fact, one out of four employers also feel that language inadequacy is a concern when hiring gig workers. Additionally, the top 3 challenges employers face in hiring for gig job roles are resume and interviewing skills (52%), poor awareness of required skills and abilities on the part of jobseekers (51%) and the screening and assessing of jobseekers (37%). Three out of five gig workers also find their jobs uncomfortable, if not hard and risky. Overall, Indeed revealed that its findings suggest more employees are not particularly fond of their work – feeding the notion of gig jobs being a short-term occupation. The survey was conducted among 550 employers and 750 gig workers across gig app companies (which includes personal care services, cleaning services, household/vehicle repairs, food and other delivery, and cab/two wheeler-driving), HR consulting, retail, food &amp; beverages, and home &amp; office services.

Government posts like Joint Secretary(JS), lower Deputy Secretary(DS) and Director level positions in the Central government, might be soon belong to private sector professionals, if the proposal goes through, The Indian Express reported. Traditionally, candidates who pass out of the three all-India services — IAS, IPS and IFS — were considered for such job roles. The others in running were also from 37 participating services like — railways, income tax, telecom and custom services amongst others. There are a total of 650 posts at the Director level and this move is expected to transition nearly 60% of these jobs— including 400 vacant positions to domain experts, Financial Express reported citing officials from the Department of Personnel &amp; Training. The department is mulling a process to evaluate private sector employees to fill the senior talent pool, it added. The government has been facing talent shortage in top roles.

Nearly 400 government jobs likely for domain experts from the private sector

Policy think-tank <keyword id="2665691" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Niti-Aayog">Niti Aayog</keyword> has suggested outsourcing of public services to private hands in order to reduce dependence on the government administrative machinery, according to PTI news report. It has also recommended induction of specialists into the governance system through lateral entry, a move which, it says, will bring "competition to the established career bureaucracy". In its draft report on a three-year action agenda made public recently, the Niti Aayog has set a target of full- digitisation of governance-related works by the end of 2018- 19. Civil service is the backbone of the government and it needs to be empowered to make quick decisions and implement them. Sustained high levels of performance can only be achieved if it is objectively measured with high performance rewarded and poor reprimanded, it said. "Today, rising complexity of the economy has meant that policy-making is a specialised activity. Therefore, it is essential that specialists be inducted into the system through lateral entry. "Such entry will also have the beneficial side effect of bringing competition to the established career bureaucracy," as per the draft three-year action agenda for 2017-18 to 2019- 20. The draft was circulated among the Governing Council (consisting of chief ministers of all states and others) members of the Niti Aayog on April 23. The recommendation may come under criticism from <keyword id="106848" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Administrative-Service">Indian Administrative Service</keyword> (IAS) officers, who are part of top-level management in government departments. The Niti Aayog said the dependence on the government administrative machinery for the delivery of services needs to be reduced wherever possible. "We can make use of the power of Aadhaar-based identity verification to allow private channels to provide services wherever possible. Identification of such services should be taken up and public-private-partnership model to provide those services should be explored," the draft report said. It also favoured longer tenure for Secretary-rank officer in government departments. Currently, by the time officers are promoted from Additional Secretary to Secretary level, usually they have two years or less left before retirement. This feature creates two important inefficiencies, the report said. One: with a time horizon shorter than two years, the officer is hesitant to take any major initiatives; and two: the officer is reluctant to take decisions on any major project fearing any mis-step may become the cause for charges of favouritism or corruption post retirement. "This causes inordinate amount of delay in decision-making," it said, adding that one possible solution is early promotion to the Secretary position and introduction of lateral entry. The report said officers may be encouraged to gain expertise in specific areas in the early stages of their careers and the current system of rapid rotation of officers across ministries may be replaced by a system of longer postings according to specialisation. "Officers should also be encouraged to enhance their knowledge and skills in the chosen area of specialisation through intensive training. This specialisation by the internal staff needs to be complemented by lateral entry of highly specialised staff on fixed-term contracts," it said. Specialists could be brought on three to five year contracts as such a system will bring top talent and energy into the government system and lend new dynamism to ministries, the report said. "The NITI Aayog performs many tasks requiring specialised knowledge and skills. Therefore, it has recently proposed changes to its rules of recruitment, which if approved would open the door to lateral entry. This initiative could serve as a pilot for other ministries," it said.

NITI Ayog just recommended to privatize government jobs for better. Here's how

During campaigning for 2014 general elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Indian government had promised <keyword id="81847" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Job-creation">job creation</keyword> and <keyword id="6355127" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="employment">employment</keyword> opportunities. With just two years left for the term to get over, PM Modi now wants to fulfil the poll pitch and monitor the employment scenario in the country closely. In this backdrop, Modi will review India’s job scenario on Sunday and frame a policy to silence critics who say GDP growth has not translated into higher employment. Employment becomes an important concern for the ruling party as the previous Congress-led government had also suffered from the same charges. The official data is seen to suffer from some shortcomings in terms of the sectors it covers, its mapping of the informal economy and whether there is a sufficient distinction between jobs and self-employment. A government source told ET Niti Aayog vice-chairman <keyword id="6366253" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arvind-Panagariya">Arvind Panagariya</keyword> is going to make a presentation to Modi on employment data. A task force is also established by the government to assess the creation of jobs based on credible data. Recently, Niti Aayog rejected the jobless growth criticism, arguing India has no credible job data to allow such conclusions. Panagariya said India will soon have new job data that should be able to help policy-makers get a better sense of the employment scenario. Meanwhile, the Niti Aayog wants promotion of industries such as food processing, electronic assembly, leather products and textiles. It has also suggested special economic zones to push employment and attract domestic and foreign industry.

Startup founders ready plans for growth, job creation ahead of their meeting with PM Modi

Mumbai, Dec 30 () No MDR charges on transactions through RuPay cards and UPI payments will kill the digital payments industry, the Payments Council of India stated on Monday while criticising the government's move.
 After a meeting with bankers last Saturday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had asked them not to charge MDR on payments via RuPay, UPI from January 1 with a view to driving digital payments.
 The move will apply to all companies with a turnover of Rs 50 crore or more. Merchant Discount Rate is the fee paid by a merchant to a bank for accepting digital payments. The move is part of the budget announcement in July.
 Describing the decision as surprising and will stop investment and innovation, Vishwas Patel, the Payments Council of India Chairman, said, "the zero MDR on RuPay and UPI will kill the industry and make the business model unviable. It's like nationalisation of the payments industry. If the government wants to drive digitization, then it should bear the cost." 
 Stating that there will be significant negative impact on the payment ecosystem -- innovation, job losses and a slowdown in the expansion of the digital payments, he said the move will lead to end of customer incentive spends by participants.
 The PCI, the representative body of merchant acquirers and aggregators, also warned that elimination of MDR will dry out revenue, creating a catastrophic situation for the industry. Additionally, if there is zero revenue to be made from the over 500 million plus active RuPay debit cards, service providers will start withdrawing PoS terminals to cut their losses.
 "If government wants to push digital payments, then making MDR zero is not the solution, but a lower, controlled MDR along with added tax benefits to merchants will go a long way," Patel suggested. 
 Terming the decision with the right intention but a wrong policy, he said the decision is going to impact the whole digital payment industry as well as investments. 
 He also recalled expert panel recommendations by the RBI-appointed Nandan Nilekani panel and the Watal committee of Niti Ayog calling for market-driven pricing. 
 Digital payments had reached 13 per cent during the demonetisation months but has since declined to around 11 per cent now, indicating rising cash in circulation, he said. 
 "It is also irrational to pass on the benefits to large retail merchants for transactions above Rs 2,000," he said, adding the move will deflate the hard work done by the acquiring industry and that if MDR is not to be charged to merchants, it should be borne by the government. BEN MR
