Work-life balance is a challenging task which decides if a woman is successful or unsuccessful. The study explores the life of married and unmarried working women, problems of work-life balance and the strategies used by women who balance their work and family. One hundred women were chosen from various workplaces; however, all of them invariably stated work-life balance as a major issue. Quitting the job for taking care of home was not a reasonable solution as it had its drawbacks. The option that repeatedly surfaced in this study was the development of alternate careers.
