There is increasing contractual hiring since the economic reforms of 1991 which led to the subsequent vague implementation of labour laws in factories, resulting in a detrimental impact on labour rights. It makes the understanding of the on-going contractualisation of work and the impact on labour rights critical for the protection of human rights at workplace. This study uses inductive methodology for analysis grounded on secondary data and literature review. The secondary data is drawn from publicly available reports of national and international agencies. Findings of the study suggested economic and labour reforms played a considerable role in contractulisation of work and followed by the adverse impact on labour rights and dignity of work. Extensive use of contractual labour has led to massive devaluation in working conditions, making worker’s situations highly vulnerable and informal caused by non-attendance of labour rights. This process of contractualisation of work in sweatshops has expedited the dehumanisation of labour while weakening labour rights in India.

自1991年经济改革以来，合同工不断增加，导致工厂随后的劳动法实施模糊，对劳工权利造成不利影响。它使得了解正在进行的工作合同化及其对劳工权利的影响对于保护工作场所的人权至关重要。本研究采用归纳法，基于二手数据和文献综述进行分析。二手数据来自国家和国际机构的公开报告。研究结果表明，经济和劳工改革在工作契约化方面发挥了相当大的作用，随之而来的是对劳工权利和工作尊严的不利影响。大量使用合同工导致工作条件大幅贬值，由于劳动权利得不到保障，工人的处境变得非常脆弱和非正规。这种血汗工厂工作合同化的过程加速了劳动力的非人化，同时削弱了印度的劳工权利。
