ABSTRACT

The main aim of the present study was to examine the life satisfaction and stress among working and non-working women. A sample of 200 women (100 working &100 non-working) was drawn randomly from the population. Life Satisfaction Scale by Alam & Srivastava (1996) and stress scale by Singh (2004) were used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation, ‘t’ test and correlation were the statistics calculated. The results indicated that there was significant difference regarding life satisfaction and stress between working and non-working women.
