- <p><strong><em><span>Abstract:-</span></em></strong></p> <p><em><span>Contract Labour has emerged as a significant component of the workforce in modern economies, particularly in sectors requiring flexibility and cost efficiency. However, the contractual nature of employment often leads to exploitation, poor working conditions, and lack of social security for workers. This study critically examines the legal frameworks governing contract Labour, with a focus on the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, in India. The research explores the Act’s objectives, its regulatory provisions, and the role of the judiciary in interpreting and enforcing its mandates. It highlights the challenges of implementation, including lack of compliance, limited enforcement mechanisms, and the rise of informal and gig economies that operate outside traditional regulatory boundaries. Comparative perspectives from international labour standards and practices are also analyzed to provide a broader understanding of the issue. The study identifies key gaps in the existing legal framework, such as inadequate protection of workers’ rights, ambiguities in employer responsibilities, and the absence of robust social security mechanisms. Recommendations include strengthening enforcement mechanisms, redefining employer-worker relationships, and incorporating contract labour protections into the broader framework of labour law reforms. By addressing these challenges, the research aims to contribute to a more equitable and effective regulatory environment for contract labour.</span></em></p>
