A comparative analysis on stress levels among working women and nonworking women with special reference to Rewa district

Abstract

The present paper deals a comparative study on stress levels among working women and nonworking women with special reference to Rewa district. Women play a vital role in the decision-making process and in the family. Indian culture gives women the responsibility of being the breadwinner of the family. Women are increasingly moving from their homes to the workplace. A large number of women also belong to the workers of the banned industries. Women therefore play a dual role for unemployed women and working women. A comparative study of the levels of stress in women in this dual role of housewife and working woman is evident. The study looks at the pressures women face in society. The result shows that the family financial situation contributes to stress levels between working women and nonworking women.
