If a woman worker has high unpaid care load and the employer only warns her for lower productivity what support is missing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Supportive intervention based on care support and workload understanding
Unpaid care responsibilities, such as caring for children, older persons, or the household, can affect a woman worker’s time and energy. Therefore, lower productivity should be addressed through support such as flexible hours, care facilities, reasonable workload, or counselling—not merely a warning. Punishment alone ignores the underlying cause. Exam tip: For questions on women and work, connect care burden with supportive workplace measures.
