The paper presents a
comparative discussion of Asian labor laws relative to
women, particularly as regards protection of certain types
of work, night work and maternity benefits, and the
coverage of social security laws in the Asian countries
cover both men ad women workers in general, with just a
few specific promulgations/ pronouncements which treat
women as a special group needing extra protection.
However, the implementation of these laws leaves
much to be desired and accounts of violations are
prevalent.
Some of the recommendations are the expansion of social
coverage to include workers involved in flexible working
arrangements, women in the informal sector and
agricultural sector.
