Stress is a part of modern life, with the increasing complexity of life, stress is likely to increase. Stress is built in the concept of role, which is conceived as the position a woman occupies in a system. Women in the modern global world have to play a dual role as a housewife and career builder. The present investigation was conducted to examine the stress among the working and non-workingwomen. It was hypothesized that working women have more stress than non- working women. In order to verify the above hypothesis a sample of 240 women were taken. From which working women (N= 120) and non-workingwomen (N= 120). were taken. To measure the stress, the stress scale developed by DR. Reeta Kumari (2014) was administrated individually to the subjects. The data were subjected to ‘t’ analysis and the major findings of the study reveal that working women’s has more stress than non-working women. The relation between working and non-working women is found significant at 0.01 levels. Similarly, non-tribal women are having more stress than tribal women.
