WBL: Legal Framework, Pay, A woman can work at night in the same way as a man

The indicator assesses whether: (1) the law does not prohibit a woman who is not pregnant and not nursing from working at night in the same way as a man; AND (2) the law does not broadly prohibit a woman, including one with children over the age of one, from working at night and does not limit the hours that she can work at night; AND (3) the law does not give the relevant authority the power to restrict or prohibit a woman’s ability to work at night, regardless of any decisions issued by that authority. Score = 1 if all three conditions are met; otherwise, score = 0.
