Maternity Breaks, Bias Widen India's Gender Pay Gap

Maternity Breaks, Bias Widen India's Gender Pay Gap

Imagine that women in India sometimes get paid less than men for doing the same job.

A recent study shows that this happens in many companies.

Taking time off to have a baby is a big reason, and unfairness at work also plays a role.

In some industries like IT, the pay gap is wider.

The study suggests that companies should focus on paying people fairly based on their work, remove bias, and be open about salaries.

This will help close the pay gap and make things fairer for everyone.
