ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Zulfikar Bukhari said ‘Ehsaas Labour Welfare and Social Protection Group’ has recommended the inclusion of informal workers with Employees Old-Age Benefit Institution (EOBI), Radio Pakistan reported.
This initiative will give informal labourers pension, social security and welfare packages.
While talking to a news agency, Bukhari said the initiative is to be taken as a part of ‘Mazdoor Ka Ehsaas Programme’ and a survey will be carried out to develop a complete and accurate database of the informal labour sector.
He added that around 0.38 million workers were only registered with EOBI and a sizeable section of labour community, working in agriculture and construction sector, is still naïve to their rights.
The labour expert group is working on various initiatives and reviewing the legislative designs to ensure the welfare, safety and protection of this segment of the society at provincial and federal level, Bukhari said.
