Universal Social Security

Unorganized/Informal Workers: The organised sector workers constitute less than 10% of all workers in India.

• This leaves more than 90% of the workforce without job security, labour rights and post-retirement provisions.

Health Care Burden: Out-of-pocket health expenses, which create barriers to seeking healthcare and can push marginal households into poverty, form as much as nearly 90% of private expenditure on health.

Expenditure on Social Security: India has a broad aim of social protection programs, but the overall public expenditure on social protection (excluding public healthcare) is only approx. 1.5% of the GDP, lower than many middle-income countries across the world.
