The rules do not take cognizance of the fact that women’s participation in the workplace has been reducing since the 1980s. While this would warrant specific measures to increase workplace participation, the rules not only neglect doing this but also let go of the special measure introduced for women in the earlier labour laws. For example, two of the most important Acts – Minimum wages and Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 – that protected/promoted women’s rights have been repealed on the one hand, while on the other hand their pro-women provisions are not incorporated fully in the current wage code.
