  • Abstract:
  • This research paper explored the work-life balance issues of women in Punjab. Good percentage of women today are performing dual roles- they have responsibilities of home and job. They are the bread earners and caregivers in the family. But they are struggling in performing both the tasks. The researcher did qualitative research. She selected Focus Group Discussions and collected the data to answer her research questions. With the diffusion of ICT, no doubt women have got opportunities to work and be financially independent. They are contributing to the growth of the family, but the conventional jobs like the household chores, taking care of children and caring for the elderlies are still solely their jobs. The failure in striking the balance between job and family is acting as a major contributor in women dropping out of their jobs. The struggles in not being able to achieve work-life is causing a lot of mental and physical heath problems in women population.
