outside of factories, indian offices/businesses/shops/schools/hospitals no one uses hourly wages. Its just "you work for us 6 days a week, 9/(now 12) hours a day and you get x amount, are you okay with that or we have 120 people outside willing to do this work, quick. The part of the reason is the population is so much and there are so little positions so people are forced to take up whatever is infront of them. Personally, i run a small office with a dozen odd employees. For the female staff, our timings are 10-5 x 6 days a week. I personally work 10-9x6+sunday regularly so yeah. The situation is not 'that' terrible with regards to women workforce. If you can do the work and not be bogged down by too much 'home work' you can work as long as you like because people are willing to give out work. I don't own a big factory or a 1000 person business so i can't say about those things but in big cities like mumbai/delhi, you normally have women AND men working 2 jobs just to make ends meet. You can work 10-4 if you like, there are jobs like that but your pay will get decreased accordingly (without overt hourly calculation)(like we dont have concept of billable hours for example)
