Abstract

Bu çalışma hamilelik döneminde (i)çalışma ortamındaki ergonomik risk faktörleri ve insan kapitali etkileşimini, (ii) çalışan kadınların insan kapitalinin sürdürülebilirliğini engelleyen ergonomik risk faktörlerini ve (iii) bu risk faktörlerini ortadan kaldırma ya da azaltmada gerekli olan makro ve mikro düzeydeki düzenlemeleri ortaya koymaktadır. Hamilelik döneminde kadınların çalışma yaşamında maruz kaldıkları ergonomik risk faktörlerinin göz ardı edilmesi, çoğu zaman kadına karşı gizli ve görünür ayrımcılığın nedeni olmaktadır. Bu nedenle kadınların çalışma yaşamındaki ergonomik riskleri azaltmak için gereken makro ve mikro düzenlemeler; hem hamilelik döneminde kadınların insan kapitallerinin sürdürülebilirliğini sağlayacak, hem de çalışma yaşamında sosyal adalet ve insan haklarının yerine getirilmesine katkıda bulunacaktır.
