According to the WHO definition, someone is considered healthy if they are both physically and psychologically well. Studies show that women are more likely than men to experience mental health issues (Piccinelli & Homen, 1997). Going to work can add stress and tension to a woman's life because of the multiple roles she juggles as a mother, caretaker, and homemaker. The Nielsen Company (2011) conducted a study which found Indian women to be the world's most stressed-out women. Stress can lead to cognitiveissues, which can compromise the immune system (Mariotti, 2015).

Ranging across the beauty industry, domestic work, food delivery, cab services and medical care, along with the upcoming digital labour due to growth in remote working, the gig economy holds immense potential to fill the gaps for employment generation in India, principally for women with the ability to balance work and family responsibility and gain financial independence in due process. This paper examines the current trends in India’s gig economy workspace for women. It also examines if its expansion in the future will significantly improve indicators like female labour force participation rates. This will contribute to economic growth. The paper also aims to familiarise the reader with the terminology used while referring to the gig economy. As the workspace horizon shifts from traditional whitecollar jobs to more contract-based work, growth in such on-demand/platform jobs is rising, raising probing questions like changes in policymaking and work benefits to accommodate this new rising workforce. Viewing it from a gendered lens to include questions like fair treatment and equality coupled with pay parity will give further insight into the conditions of women who are going to be a significant part of this rising workforce and thereby help in understanding if being a part of the gig economy accrues any tremendous benefits to women whilst creating a gender-sensitive work environment.

In 2016, the International Labour Organisation estimates that two billion people who are employed worldwide and are 15 years of age or older work informally, accounting for 61.2% of all employment. 83% of the workforce in India is employed by the unorganised sector, compared to 17% by the organised sector. Because the informal worker lacks a variety of security measures, including employment security, job security, and work security, as well as because of the rising informalization trend, which has moved jobs from categories where they could be collectively bargained to ones where they cannot, the need for union protection in the informal workplace is crucial. However, one significant disadvantage of informal employment is the lack of effective unionisation. Traditional trade unions around the world have tried a number of strategies to organise these informal workers as part of the current structure. Traditional trade unions struggle to organise informal workers due to a variety of problems and obstacles. Despite the difficulties traditional trade unions have had organising the informal workforce, over the past few decades, these workers have organised themselves in a variety of ways to strengthen their bargaining position, their economic standing, and their standard of living. These consist of workers' associations such as trade unions, cooperatives, and others.The term "Membership-Based Organisations" (MBOs) is used by members of the WIEGO network, allies, and partner organisations to describe the variety of these organisations in the informal economy. In this paper, a few (MBOs) that organise women who work in the informal sector in India are highlighted. The following sections make up the structure of the paper: (1) An overview of the informal economy in India (2) Formal Trade Union and informal sector (3) The difficulties unions face in organising workers in the informal sector (4) Organisational structures of membershipbased organisations (5) MBOs operating in India (5) Conclusions.
