How LabourNet Works: 

LabourNet uses mobile technology, such as automated, multilingual SMS messaging, GIS and GPS applications, to announce daily job openings. It provides training opportunities, access to health insurance, the ability to open bank accounts and receive proper identification cards for workers who have been denied these social benefits. The system also offers assistance to the growing professional class and mid-sized business community who find it difficult to access the “unorganized” labor sector. LabourNet provides an answer to this growing demand by providing simplified access to qualified, reliable, skilled workers, and taking care of the time-consuming hassle of training workers and arranging benefits.

“At one level, LabourNet is clearly impacting lives by providing services to workers ranging from job information to financial inclusion to health management systems,” says Gayathri Vasudevan of LabourNet. “At another level, the effort is being recognized by NGOs and state governments, CHF's grant funding and technical support has enabled LabourNet to pilot various strategies and prepare its systems for scaling up across the country.”
