Abstract

Family is a universal institution. It is impossible to imagine a society without the existence of family. It is an important centre for production, reproduction as well as in providing an emotional and affectionate atmosphere to human beings. Family is a place providing women a safe and secure atmosphere but at the same time it also made them confront various problems and challenges in their lives. Female's orientation towards jobs and promotion of work culture has empowered them economically but has impacted their personal and family life by forcing them to bear dual responsibilities of home and office. This research paper broadly deals with the problems faced by highly qualified working women in their families. These problems are further classified as personal problems, familial problems, economic problems and health related problems. It attempts to analyse respondent's personal problems in terms of making choices, fulfilling their aspirations/dreams, ignoring their life priorities and level of personal freedom of movement. Familial problems in terms of domestic services,neglecting the life priorities, support system in family, conflict issues and interaction level among family members. Economic problems in terms of access to property, level of expenditure and empowerment. The study also takes an overview of respondent's health status (both physical and mental health).
