Abstract

Gender equality, health risk reduction, and productivity gains are all dependent on improving the working conditions for women in agriculture in poor nations via ergonomic treatments. Women contribute significantly to agricultural productivity in emerging nations, ensuring food security and maintaining economic stability. However, because of the unfavourable working circumstances in the agricultural industry, their participation frequently comes at the expense of their well-being and health. The issue at stake is the neglect of the unique ergonomic requirements of women working in these countries' agriculture. Because of the physical strain, musculoskeletal diseases, and other health hazards associated with their existing work environment, they are less productive and gender imbalances in agriculture are perpetuated.
