Question

Working women in India are often terrified to work in night shifts at their companies. Pick the reasons for this from the following options.

• A. They fear being assaulted.
• B. There is no provision of public transport late at night.
• C. Women are not paid overtime if they stay late.
• D. Most Indian families do not allow women to stay out late at night.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Most Indian families do not allow women to stay out late at night.

It is generally unsafe for women to travel during the night. This prevents them from taking up night shift jobs. In addition to this, they fear for their safety. There have also been many instances where women have been kidnapped while travelling at night. So women prefer to travel by public transport which is generally not available at night. Due to the reasons mentioned above, many Indian families discourage women from working late at night.
