time has gained importance in the industrialized
countries. Broadly, it can be defined as measures
providing protection to working class against
contingencies like retirement, resignation, retrenchment,
maternity, old age, unemployment, death, disablement
and other similar conditions.

•Some of the legislations that have been enacted for social

security in India are the Employees’ State Insurance Act,
1948, Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, Employees’
Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952,
Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, Payment of Gratuity Act,
1972, etc. A social security division has also been set up
under the Ministry of Labour and Employment which
mainly focuses on framing policies for social security for
the workers of organized sector.
