Abstract

In this modern century shift work, particularly night shift can be an irresistible option for many employees due to the high wages and allowances. Though financial growth is mandatory to meet our requirements, night shift may lead to some serious risks to health. Shift work can have a negative impact on both physical health and well-being of workers. Shift work may cause disturbances in normal circadian rhythms and in maintaining both relationships at family and social level. Night work effects women's healthon both hormonal and reproductive function, and their family responsibility.
