Majority of women are working through-out week and are struggling to achieve work-life balance.

Women reported that their life has become a juggling act as they have to shoulder multiple responsibilities at work and home. Both government and private sectors management need to be conscious of this status of female police and periodically review their status. They can create supportive environment to help these women achieve work life balance.
Description:
In today’s world, work and family are the most central and prominent role domains for the majority of adults. Both are significant in terms of where we spend our time and the qualitative impact that they have on our lives. This is particularly true for women, who now comprise more than half of the American workforce (US Department of Labor, 2005).With the increasing demands that each of these domains place upon our lives, it should come as no surprise that significant attention is now being paid to issues of work family balance. The extent of the problem of conflict between work and family domains is difficult to estimate due to limitations in existing researches.
