The modern world, which is said to be a world of achievements, is also a world of stress. Nowadays, stress is a common
feature in everyones life. It is becoming a major issue and a matter of concern for the employees and the organizations. Working
women are more affected as compared to their male counterparts, as their life becomes complex in order to maintain balance
between home as well as work, so it becomes impossible to avoid stress. It is becoming difficult that they play the role of a
perfect housewife, mother and working women at the same time. Many factors are involved in causing stress among working
women at home or at workplace. Policies should originate in favour of working women to encourage them and to support them
by providing a friendly, stress-free environment.
