ABSTRACT:

This research paper explores the concept of work-life balance among women, using secondary data to examine the challenges, strategies, and outcomes associated with balancing professional and personal responsibilities. The study reviews existing literature, reports, and surveys to analyse trends in women’s workforce participation, the impact of workplace policies, and societal expectations. Findings suggest that women continue to face significant barriers, such as unequal caregiving responsibilities, gender biases, and lack of flexible work arrangements. However, evidence also highlights the growing adoption of policies aimed at enhancing work- life balance, including remote work, parental leave, and flexible scheduling. The paper underscores the importance of organizational support, cultural change, and policy reforms in fostering an environment where women can achieve a sustainable work-life balance, leading to improved well-being and career satisfaction. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers, organizations, and individuals working toward gender equality in the workplace.
