After generating 150,000 direct jobs in two and a half years, the Apple ecosystem is now venturing into providing housing for factory workers, a move inspired by models observed in China and Vietnam.

Apple Will Build 78,000 Homes For Indian Employees: 1st Time Ever In India!

This is the first time such an initiative has been taken in India by a manufacturer.

Public-Private Partnership for Employee Housing

Apple’s contract manufacturers and suppliers, including Foxconn, Tata, and Salcomp, are partnering with the government to develop residential accommodations for their employees.

This initiative, undertaken through a public-private partnership, aims to construct over 78,000 units, with Tamil Nadu receiving the lion’s share of 58,000 units.

Improving Efficiency and Security

The project is designed to enhance efficiency and security for employees, particularly migrant women aged 19-24, who constitute a significant portion of the workforce. Currently, many workers endure long commutes from rented accommodations to the factories, posing security concerns.

This initiative marks a significant step towards providing comfortable and secure housing for workers, ultimately improving productivity and welfare outcomes.
