Karnataka's Gig Worker Welfare Fund Faces Uncertainty

Karnataka's Gig Worker Welfare Fund Faces Uncertainty

Karnataka is making gig economy apps, like Uber and Swiggy, pay a fee to help their workers.

This means apps might raise prices, so you could pay more.

Experts disagree on how much prices will go up.

Some think prices may rise a lot.

Some platforms use subscription fees and others may raise those instead.

There are still questions about how workers will contribute.

Other states might copy this, which could change how gig work works in India.
