Abstract

The study was conducted to find out different problems that working women face. Working women face domestic problems as well as official matters. In homes they cook, clean the house, care for children and family members while outside they face transportation problems, sexual harassment during their mobility and at work place. Some time they have no control on utilization of their salaries. These salaries were utilized on maintenance of home or other issues. Similarly they have less access to join social gathering because it may suffer their work or they have less number of leaves. 150 respondents, 37 from education department, 13 were doctors, 27 were nurses, 33 were employees of various NGOs and 40 were sales representatives in various cellular companies were selected for current study. Working women face difficulties to look after their homes.
