A Social Problem?
Which Industry offers the best paying job in India and opportunity for growth? Software Industry and BPO aka Call Center. Its very common to see people who graduated after 1998 in India, to be employed in a software Industry. Now a days working in a BPO is also a very attractive option. They pay well. One has to burn their ass and work long nights, but then thats ok considering the fact that it pays well and its a white collar job. This is all fine when one is a bachelor. But what will be the scenario after marriage? Typically the guy and the gal will be working in some software company. They both will have different deadlines and different schedules. At times they might not have time to meet each other and talk to each other for days together. If one person is working in a Call Center, then the situation is even worse.
This problem is different from what would have been seen in the families of the 1980's and early 1990's. In that period if both the parents work they most probably would have held a 9-5 job. The timing of work was humane and they would have got time to meet each other and talk to each other.
But now its not like that. How will this inhuman work timings and pressure affect the marriage? How will this irregular timings of work of the parents affect their Kids? Will their childhood be happy? How about their marriage? Would this be a contributing factor for increase in the divorce rate seen in India now? Are we facing a social problem with long term effects here?

Interesting Post, Thankyou
I strongly believe that this will have a variety of effects some will be good and some bad.
Everything from the West is creeping into the Indian society, this is one too. We've embraced everything...and should be prepared for this as well.
Heard of Baby Sitters yet..!! If not then get ready.!!

Wow what an analysis. My friend is in call center and within some short period of time he became a team leader and with that came lot of money and stress.
He wants to quit but has no other job that pays him so much. He works in weekends and he gets time off on week days and bec of it his social and personal life got affected.
According to me we sure are facing a long term social problem.
The so called IT boon has left families in distress. Software companies are mere slaves of their clients. I have seen my project managers and others sitting like obidient students in a client call. Whatever the client says they would do. This kind of an attitude is not healthy for our society. History repeats itself .. First it was the british, now its our so called Entrepreneurs ... who are seen as idols.
