Issues and Challenges of Working Mother in family with the changing scenario of Society

Ms Paramjit Kaur, Ms Deepti Pande Rana

Abstract :

Although it was evident that working mothers encounter lot of challenges in the adjustment process but still they are satisfied with this situation and want to continue this status. Working women also suggest that young married women should join workforce either as an entrepreneur or an employee. They should empower themselves and should learn to respond to work and family pressures and use strategies to achieve balance. Many working mothers also felt that they were being good role models for their children. Finally the strategies being adopted by working mothers in making adjustments with their work– family relations includes positive attitude, acceptance, family co–operation, attentiveness, flexibility, time management and catharsis. In addition, they felt that they highly valued what time they were able to spend with their children. Mothers at times working had a negative impact on their children because after work mothers were sometimes too tired to interact as much with children as the children would have liked.
