#India#GigEconomy#DeliveryApps: "Rolled out in 2023, Swiggy’s gold, silver, and bronze rankings for its gig workforce are based on a dynamic rating system — it changes weekly depending on the quality and quantity of work. Workers with a higher ranking get perks such as the ability to book the following week’s shifts in advance and “attractive interest rates” on personal loans. The program also includes health insurance as a benefit, which can change every week.
Gold-rated workers receive health insurance for themselves and their families; in the silver category, the family is ineligible for insurance. Bronze-rated workers are only eligible for insurance coverage in case of accidents.
While platforms have often used similar gamification tactics to incentivize workers to work or earn more, including health insurance in such a program could be detrimental not just to the workers but also their families, labor experts told Rest of World." https://restofworld.org/2024/swiggy-health-insurance-quotas
