PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Dr. Madhu Gupta

Women are now working in the workplace, collaborating with their male counterparts to ensure the success and prosperity of their organisations, industries, and countries. Pregnancy-related concerns in the workplace, on the other hand, remain a significant roadblock in a woman's career path. Through an anonymous survey, we examine at working women's experiences during pregnancy and their return to work. 67 respondents from all types of employment contributed in the study by providing responses to the questionnaire. The report suggests various solutions such as specific policies and regulations required, a shift in thinking and culture, organisational approaches to diversity and anti-discrimination protection, and much more.
