A STUDY ON WORK LIFE BALANCE OF WOMEN IN MADURAI DISTRICT

Abstract Women from Madurai struggle the most in achieving a work-life balance due to rigid gender roles, workplace restrictions, and socio-cultural expectations of the society. They need to balance a professional life and take part in several domestic activities including taking care of children or elderly family members, often single-handedly. Their struggles are compounded by workplace issues such as long working hours, low wages, and minimal opportunities for advancement. There is societal encouragement to force women to take a back seat in their job which results in stress, exhaustion, and sacrificing career goals. This research aims to understand issues faced by working women in the city of Madurai across industries and the impacts of these for the women’s work-life balance. The research uses descriptive design based on data gathered from 105 women professionals by means of a structured questionnaire. It was discovered that cultural and societal expectations, health and wellbeing issues, and inadequate organizational policies were the main factors that affect women’s work-life balance. The research recommends the adoption of flexible working schedules, gender responsive policies in the workplace, wellness programs, and changing attitudes on caregiving responsibilities within the society to improve the work-life balance and well-being among working women.
