Which problem can a written contract reduce for women workers?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Uncertainty about wages, working hours and responsibilities
A written contract can clearly state wages, working hours, duties, leave and other terms of employment. It therefore reduces uncertainty and possible disputes between the employer and the woman worker. It does not automatically reduce physical fatigue or the distance to the workplace. Exam tip: Remember that the key benefit of a contract is a clear, documented record of employment terms.
