Shiftwork management in developing nations requires a distinct strategy, focusing on social impacts, especially for women in permanent night shifts. This approach differs from methods used in developed countries.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Sociology of Work
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Shiftwork is prevalent in developing nations across Asia and South America.
  • Existing shiftwork management strategies are often based on developed nations' contexts.
  • There is a need to address the unique challenges of shiftwork in developing economies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing studies on shiftwork in Asian and South American countries.
  • To highlight the necessity for tailored shiftwork management approaches in developing nations.
  • To emphasize the social consequences of shiftwork, particularly for female workers.

Main Methods:
