Indian Companies Dodge The ‘Maternity Leave’ Privilege By Not Hiring Women

If any of the job seekers have struggled to find a decent one online through job portals then they must be familiar with the following phrase that pops up on certain openings,

“Women willing to start or restart their career are encouraged to apply”. Or certain jobs are reserved for female candidates only to either balance the male to female ratio of the company or to encourage more women in work spaces.

However, a study by Team Lease has unveiled a bitter truth. Over 12 million women across all sectors might not even get jobs because of the new maternity leave policy.
