A Study on the Women Workforce in relation to Societal and Personal Factors

The study investigates the elements of society or personal factors which influence women's labour market activity. While females are starting to establish more in this work, traditional responsibilities and individual commitments might still have a major impact on many of the female office holders. A descriptive survey type of data collection technique was used. A close-end survey was conducted on 40 active working ladies from all domains of professional areas. The data analysis revealed that marital status has a big impact on the professional way of life, personal care habits and this in turn affects their professional path. Non-public factors such as schooling, self-esteem, and family support are stronger than external forces but t-test proposed no substantial statistical difference between the two. The analysis revealed the presence of empowering plans, adjustable working systems and provision of enablement programmes were the more predominant contributors for a harmonious work-place for women and are thus indicators for a synchronized consideration that must be extended between families, business places and policy makers to better support women’s livelihood and life reconciliation at work.
