Abstract

Work conditions have impact upon labour productivity and hence upon labour cost. There has not been any in-depth research work on work conditions in the factories of West Bengal. Our study relates to the work conditions of factories of different manufacturing industries. By good work conditions we mean the standard work conditions as described in the Indian Factories Act of 1948 (amended subsequently). With the help of a survey we have tried to examine how far the surveyed factories have followed the provisions of that Act. Our survey covers manufacturing industries situated in and around the city of Kolkata.
