Women and work: issues and concerns

If unpaid labour is not counted women's real contribution may remain hidden. In exams keep work measurement broad.

Production and control over profit can be different things. In exams identify value chain control.

Payment proof is needed to claim rights. In exams connect wage records with worker protection.

A policy has limited effect if it does not reach vulnerable groups. In exams remember contract workers' vulnerability.

Reducing career opportunity due to motherhood can be discrimination. In exams remember maternity return support.

Along with skill and labour control over resources is also needed. In exams connect women farmers with resource rights.

Skill courses affect future income and opportunities. In exams connect course allocation with gender equity.

Identity card helps recognition of work and scheme benefits. In exams connect documentation with empowerment.

Safe complaint needs both confidentiality and protection from retaliation. In exams remember safe reporting.

Market access and safety are needed along with capital. In exams understand livelihood support as integrated.

Leadership needs resource and decision power along with the post. In exams distinguish formal power and real power.

Equal opportunity includes real practice and access to resources. In exams check quality of access.

Extra unpaid tasks add workload even with wages. In exams check both visible and hidden workload.

Domestic workers also deserve worker rights and protection. In exams treat domestic work as real work.

Low attendance may be caused by lack of care support. In exams identify structural barriers.

Exclusion can take away both experience and economic benefit. In exams identify protective exclusion.

A policy works only when workers can understand it. In exams connect accessible communication with implementation.

Women's health needs are not limited to maternity. In exams understand workplace welfare broadly.

Control over digital payments is also part of economic empowerment. In exams remember digital control.

Merely placing women workers on a committee is not enough. When management alone takes decisions, women’s presence is token participation rather than real decision-making power. Option C would apply only if women and management shared leadership, which is not the case here. Exam tip: Along with representation, check whether members have actual authority to influence decisions.
