Cross-sectional dataset of low- and semi-skilled gig workers in India: COVID-19 and human security.
Article in Data in brief, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The paper presents a cross-sectional dataset of low- and semi-skilled gig workers in India, collected during a single survey wave in the pandemic. Respondents retrospectively reported their experiences at two time points pre-pandemic (July-November 2019) and during the pandemic (December 2020-January 2021) across multiple human security dimensions, framed within the United Nations Human Security Framework (2016). The dataset represents original primary data and captures the economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political experiences of gig workers during the crisis. The dataset focuses specifically on low- and semi-skilled adult gig workers, including drivers, domestic workers, delivery personnel, beauticians, street vendors, small business owners, and self-employed service providers. The dataset has two parts. Part A captures sociodemographic details, employment status, income, loans, COVID-19 impacts on livelihood, food security, health access, living conditions, and government/community support. Part B records fear and apprehensions, including financial security, social support, community tensions, housing issues, and vaccine attitudes. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and variables independently developed by the authors; community volunteers from SJS (Mitr Sanketa initiative) only facilitated survey administration. The survey covers 136 variables aligned with the UN Human Security Framework (2016), including economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political security. The dataset provides valuable insights for research and education in understanding the vulnerabilities, resilience, and lived experiences of gig workers during crises.
