Labour Care: A Garment Worker Assistance Mobile Application with Work Environment Checking, Employment, Leave Apply, Legal Aid Facilities
Garment industry is important to many south asian countries' economies because it generates significant export revenue and employs a large number of workers. In many countries, garment workers face a number of challenges, including low wages, poverty, job insecurity, harassment, a hazardous working environment, and a lack of medical, financial, and legal aid. Previous garment worker-related projects did not include an automated system for garment worker assistance with work environment checks, employment searches, work schedule checks, leave applications, legal aid, reporting, and medical help application features. To overwhelm the previous limitations, this article yields a garment worker assistance-based labor care mobile application that includes employment search, job application, leave application, medical help, financial and legal aid application, reporting, query application, daily work schedule search, attendance update, friend contact, and work environment checking features. Over 54% of workers provided positive feedback on the proposed labor care app's features, development process, and necessity.
