The promulgation of labour codes replacing all existing labour laws has come in for much debate, particularly in the context of deepening inequalities across several forms of discrimination including caste, gender, and religion. In the context of these contemporary developments in India, this lecture seeks to demystify the impact and implications of these codes for labour structures and rights conceptually as well as empirically.
