Much of the programming behind the apps and systems you use every day is done by engineers in India. Many of them are women. That’s the good news. The problem is that the Indian software firms are under tremendous pressure to produce. So they work around the clock to have their work done when the day in Europe and America begins. Now, lawmakers in the state of Karnataka want to implement a law banning women to work night shifts so they can be better mothers. That makes sense. But it is half-solution: Men shouldn’t work so many night shifts either to be better fathers.
