A STUDY ON FACTORS INFLUENCING WOMEN EMPLOYEES FOR WORK LIFE BALANCE AMONG THE UNORGANIZED SECTOR
Abstract
The Indian economy relies heavily on the unorganised or informal sector. The informal sector accounts for more than 90% of the workforce and nearly 50% of the national output. In the informal economy, a large number of the most disadvantaged members of society may be found. The un-organised workers sector is dominated by women. The unskilled labour force plays a major role in the Unorganized Workers sector. In the unorganised women workers sector, there is a large pool of unskilled labour. Economic growth and development are greatly aided by the efforts of unorganised women workers. To meet the needs and desires of the community, the unorganised women’s labour sector serves as a catalyst for social change. The unorganized sector is a significant part of the global economy, especially in developing countries. Women employees in this sector often face unique challenges in balancing work and life due to the lack of formal structures, benefits, and support systems. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors influencing work-life balance among women in the unorganized sector. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, the research highlights the key stressors and potential strategies for improvement. This study focus on these major problems which will help to bring out empirical solutions to resolve the problems and challenges that affect the work life balance of women workers in the unorganized sector. The study’s research approach allows for a detailed assessment of the numerous factors that impact or enable women workers in the unorganised sector achieve work-life balance. The categorization by industry will aid in examining the views of female workers on the topic of work-life balance. The findings of this study will shed light on the extent to which workers in these places are able to maintain a work-life balance thanks to a variety of Unorganised sector services.
