Authors
Harsimranvir Kaur
Abstract
The foundations of duties and responsibilities of the government are
enshrined in the Constitution of India in the form of Directive Principles of
State Policy. Rights of working women in their early stage of motherhood are
also enshrined in form of fundamental rights. Women participation in labour
force is always full of obstacles due to certain reasons. Labour legislations
although many times protect women but constitutional protection to working
mothers is always of paramount importance and is regarded as the backbone of
any other legislation prevailing in our country. Social justice as enshrined in
our Constitution cannot be expected without equal opportunities and equal
treatment to working mothers. Women’s participation in employment sector is
necessary for the accomplishment of social and economic development of society.
To make attempts in analyzing the condition of women workforce through the
provisions of Indian Constitution and to reveal the provisions of the
Indian Constitution to protect maternity rights is the need of time. It is an
important task to analyze the concept of social justice in employment sector
through constitutional framework.
