No doubt, the crime has been risen significantly all around the globe over the past many years. But unemployment and incorrect upbringing are not the only reasons to be blamed for the existence of such a scenario, there could be many other reasons too. Even the change in human psychology due to tired and sick minds could be one of the main reasons. Seeing the situation of the country, we can well notice that people are made to work like hell across the globe.
So should there be some regulation regarding the amount of time a person is expected to devote for his official work? There are some regulations. What about introducing a ceiling on the working hours of an employee?
The ceiling on working hours will not only relax the employees from exhaustion but will also provide them with the substantial amount of time to spend on their family life and personal sphere. They will be able to take care of their health and this would definitely help them in improving their performance and the improved performance will be beneficial for the economy.
Moreover, the ceiling on working hours will put the restriction on the supply of labour and will result in the increase in demand for labour. And so it will ultimately result in creation of employment in the economy as employers will be forced to recruit more staff to carry out the operations of their firm. The ceiling would serve as a great tool to combat unemployment.
But the problem with the ceiling is that it would affect the performance of a company and even the cost incurred would be so high that small and mid-sized companies will not be able to afford it and this situation would affect the economic growth as a whole.

What you have proposed can be added by amending the Indian labour laws. Also, I think to allow ceiling on working hours, there has to be a balanced income-leisure trade off.
Good idea! If it is implemented properly then it sure can help improve the situation in many ways! 🙂
Its ok to allow ceiling on working hours, But preference of Income over leisure differs person to person
Good one 😀
The ceiling will depend from industry to industry. In some industries, it is necessary to meet the deadlines on time and hence the work limits have to be pushed, but they are also compensated accordingly. I think it depends on you and the industry you choose to decide how much working hours you want!
nice article
The ceiling on working hours will provide several benefits to the employees however it can be tough for the employers to meet the cost.Hence i feel it’s important to strike a balance between the two.
Good effort…!
Well written
Due to stricter, inflexible hours, family and personal time is shortened by the hours. Never a healthy living.
Good effort!
Nicely done !
nice article
I liked the topic!Though striking a balance between the two is a tough call but if implemented it can work wonders and will also lead to more family time.
Nice article. The topic is really nice.
Nice article. But the ceiling should be flexible keeping in mind those who have to work extra hours to earn more to make the ends meets back at home.
Nice concept 😀
Will be awesome if implemented correctly 😀
Totally pro ceiling
Totally pro ceiling !!
if this ceiling also going to lead to an increase in the labor then might as well go for it. Well written article and i am totally up for ceiling on work hours 🙂
We need this so badly. There are still so many sectors in India where people slog for about 16-17 hrs even today!!
