The Impact of Employment on Women's Social Life and Health

Abstract

Combining busy professional lives with maternal responsibilities may have a significant impact on women's social and personal lives. They spend their energies creating a harmonious home environment for their families and satisfying the family's financial needs. The responsibilities they bear overlap, creating a high-pressure environment as females try to manage home responsibilities with career roles. This situation often results in physical and cognitive exhaustion, which can impact the quality of relationships with spouses and children, as well as their overall health and well-being. Objectives: The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of employment on working women's social life and health. Hypothesis: The main hypothesis of the study was that there is no significant impact of employment on women's social life and health. Methodology: A cross-sectional approach utilizing normative survey methodology was used for the present study. The population of the research study comprised married female physical education teachers, doctors, nurses, and bankers residing in Islamabad, the Capital city of Pakistan. The researcher selected a total of 62 respondents using the snowball sampling technique. Results: This study demonstrates that employment has a significant impact on Pakistani women's social life and health in multiple areas.
