SIGNIFICANCE OF MATERNITY BENEFITS: BANGLADESH PERSPECTIVES
| Abstract: With the advent of modern age, as the number of women employees are growing, the maternity leave and other maternity benefit has become increasingly common. But there was no beneficial piece of legislation in the horizon which is intended to achieve the object of doing social justice to women workers. In many parts of the world, very little is known about maternity leave by women themselves before they become pregnant. Many are unaware of their rights. Thus women are falling behind in their careers throughout the world as well as Bangladesh. The objective of this article is to serve as a compilation of knowledge about maternity leave and other benefits offered to mothers to get better work life balance. Wide differences in maternity leave policies that exist in Bangladesh have been pointed out in this article. Besides those, special focus has been made on maternity benefit which should be treated as a right of women not as privilege. |
