The Government of India, meeting a longstanding demand for gender parity in the workforce, has approved an amendment in The Factories Act 1948 to allow women employees to work in nightshifts. The amendment suggests that nightshift for women shall be allowed only if the employer ensures safety, adequate safeguards in the factory as regards occupational safety and health, equal opportunity for women workers, adequate protection of their dignity, honour and transportation from the factory premises to the nearest point of their residence are met.
