Preface
Government of India passed several Acts to regulate conditions governing the registration of the industrial units. The Rules framed under Labour Acts impose obligation on registered industry (primary units) to submit annual statutory return in the prescribed format to the concerned authorities. In the ‘Maternity Benefit Act 1961’, calendar year data is collected from the primary units in prescribed annual return and the information gathered is consolidated by the State Authorities (Directorate of Factories & Boilers and Office of the Chief Plantation Corporation) in Statements I & II designed for the purpose. These Authorities in turn furnish the consolidated data in respect of the entire State to the Directorate of Economics and Statistics. The Labour & Housing Division of Directorate of Economics and Statistics compiles and disseminates these statistics.
The information pertaining to the coverage, submission and response rate of establishments, average daily women workers, number of women workers claimed for maternity benefit, claims and payments of maternity benefit and amount paid, etc are included in this report.
The present compilation titled ‘Maternity Benefit Act 1961’ provides basic statistics about the above parameters pertaining to Kerala. The data bank will be a guiding factor based on which labour policies of the state have to be evolved at its efficiency monitored. This can be a good source of reference to the research scholars in this field and also for the administration.
I congratulate the Labour & Housing wing of this office for their painstaking efforts in compiling this data from secondary sources.
Thiruvananthapuram Director General
