Informative article. The title is somewhat clickbaity since it is more like "Challenges faced".
One thing i find troubling is the lack of cultural sensitivity and the disinterest to adapting Chinese ways of using labour in the very different Indian environmental context. It sounds somewhat inhuman. Most rural women in Southern India are burdened with household chores whether they work outside or not. Moreover most of them have a poor diet and hence are never in robust health. Taken together these impose a hard upper limit on the number of hours they can work in a day. So perhaps Apple/Foxconn should not be driving them as hard as they seem to be doing which may end-up to be counter productive.
