    Of Work and Leisure: A Study of Work-Life Balance in the It Sector In Bangalore
    (National Law School of India University, 2018) Vaz, Doohan
    This paper aims to delve into the problems faced by workers with respect to their work-life balance in the IT sector in Bangalore. In qualitatively contrasting the perspectives of three levels of workers – junior-level, senior-level and retired members of firms – nuanced thoughts have been examined to form policy recommendations which could improve the conditions of workers. Three themes were key to this analysis – differences in gender, improvement in technology and importance of skills – for workers in hierarchical work structures. The governmental objective to improve the ease of doing business and attracting investment was looked at with reference to the power wielded by firms and governments, and the shortcomings of current Indian labour law in encompassing these workers and their relative lack of power in the current scenario.
