Effects of Fetal-Protection Policies on Women Workers

Robin Sakina Mama

Exclusionary work policies, known as fetal-protection policies, have a rationale and focus on women that is similar to those of the outlawed protective labor laws. These policies are prominent in male-dominated industries, such as chemical refineries, paint-manufacturing plants, and the auto industry. This article explores the relationship between these policies and the outlawed labor laws, examines the effects of these policies on the economic well-being of women, and suggests how occupational social workers and policymakers can broaden their focus to make the workplace safer for all workers.
