If women labourers are paid cash wages without receipts what risk increases?

Correct answer: Payment disputes and wage exploitation

A cash payment without a receipt leaves the worker without written proof of the amount paid, the date, or the employer’s acknowledgment. This is especially risky when workers have less bargaining power or when payment records are informal. A receipt or wage record helps a worker show what was agreed and what was actually received. It can therefore support accountability and make unfair treatment easier to challenge.

The question asks which risk increases, not which benefit is created. Without proof, an employer may deny payment, claim that a smaller amount was paid, or avoid paying the full wage. These situations can lead to disputes and wage exploitation. Thus option B, payment disputes and wage exploitation, follows directly. Complete wage security is the opposite of the likely result, while promotion and workplace rest are unrelated to payment evidence.
