This chapter reviews a few studies on shiftwork in countries of Asia and South America. The developing countries need a different approach to managing shiftwork from those used in developed nations--one that concentrates more on the social consequences of shiftwork, particularly for the large proportion of female workers engaged in permanent nightwork.
