Role Conflict and issues of women: A study of women working in Medical Profession
Keywords:
Women, Working, MedicalAbstract
Families are made up of mostly of women. They are in charge of the health, social, and economic well-being of the people in their family and neighbourhood. As women progress in their careers, they're more likely to face physical risks at work, as well as pressures from numerous roles and competing expectations. Working women are under stress and strain because of their financial situation, which forces them to seek employment or pursue a profession in order to contribute to the family's income. That working women have to deal with issues is an undeniable fact. Working women are those who have a job that they are paid for. There is more to a woman's job than just confirming that she is employed for money. She's also expected to help out around the home on a regular basis. Men and society used to look down on and view women who work as unlucky because of their personal situations, but that has all changed recently.
