Why can nutrition support for women workers be seen as a work issue and not only welfare?

Correct answer: Because nutrition is linked with energy health and work capacity

Nutrition is directly connected with work because food supplies energy and supports physical and mental health. A worker who has adequate and balanced nutrition is more likely to remain healthy, concentrate on tasks, attend work regularly, and perform efficiently. Poor nutrition can lead to weakness, illness, tiredness, and reduced work capacity. Therefore, nutrition support is not merely charity or a household matter; it is also related to productivity, attendance, safety, and the ability to continue working.

Option A is correct because it links nutrition with energy, health, and work capacity. Options B and C deny a real connection between food and work, while option D gives an unsupported opposite claim. The question tests the idea that workers’ well-being affects their participation and performance. Nutrition programmes can therefore be understood as an important work-related support, especially where women face heavy workloads or limited access to adequate food.
