Well-being is about lives going well. It is the combination of feeling good and fhnetioning effectively. It is often observed that working women and non working women are different and as a result they require ditferent kinds of support to enable them to cope effectively with their chosen roles. The present paper is an attempt to study of well-being of working and non-working women. Working women identity work, children and household duties as the most trequent stressors, whereas non working women identify children, finances and as stressors. Working women are often tossed between home andj ob as compare to non-working women because the double work pressure affects their family environment, marital adjustment, stress, quality of life satisfaction. Finally we can conclude that there is significant ditference in well being of working and non working women. Working women handle situation at home as well as in their offices. The findings of the study may be useful and helpful to set up different programmes and policies for creating awareness regarding various issues of women.
