Why are identity cards and registration especially useful for women workers?

Correct answer: They give worker identity and access to benefits and protection schemes

Direct answer: A, they give worker identity and access to benefits and protection schemes. An identity card links a person to her work, while registration creates an official record that she is a worker. This is especially useful for women in informal, casual, home-based or scattered work, where labour may otherwise remain invisible. Step by step: recognition makes the worker identifiable; identification can help prove eligibility; proof can support access to wages, welfare benefits, insurance, safety measures, legal remedies or training, depending on the scheme. Option A is correct because it includes both recognition and access. Option B is wrong because registration makes labour more visible, not hidden. Option C is wrong because a card or registration does not stop payment; it can help document entitlement to payment. Option D is wrong because official recognition can support training access rather than reduce it. Registration alone cannot guarantee every benefit, but it is an important gateway when the system requires proof. Memory cue: identity plus registration means visibility, entitlement and protection.
