Abstract:
Women plays an essential role in economy but they also play their
intrinsic role as a mother and a home maker. Life of working women is
challenging as very few of them get help from family members and/or
household assistant. Many of them do not get any kind of help from
family member as their mothers or mother in laws are working women
too and paid household assistant are not always available. Moreover, the
labour law in Bangladesh leaves little opportunities and help for working
women. These creates discri mination between male and female worker.
Many women fail to achieve career goal, some even fail to continue their
job when they give birth to babies. Those, who cannot proceed are likely
to face other problems such as lack of empowerment, depressions and
various mental and social pressures. This paper seeks to understand the
impact of existing maternity benefits on women empowerment, maternity
and child health.
