Homes as Workplaces: How Karnataka’s New Bill Can Change Our Lives - All Things Policy
Description
Following the Gig Workers Act, Karnataka’s proposed Domestic Workers Social Security and Welfare Bill aims to extend similar protections to domestic workers. While the need for safeguards is unquestionable, can laws designed for one sector be simply transplanted to another? What makes domestic work uniquely different — and how might this bill reshape our daily lives?
In this episode, Anoop Gannerkote and Kartik Singh, from our current PGP cohort, join Suman Joshi to unpack the bill’s key provisions, explore potential unintended consequences, and discuss what smarter policy could look like. Tune in for a clear-eyed public policy analysis of a sector millions rely on but rarely discuss.
