This research paper is based on a very common phenomenon of our country- the work life balance of women. Previously we had an image of a loving wife and caring mother when we used to think of a Bangladeshi woman. But now things have changed a lot. Women are no more confined in the cozy corner of their homes. They are also participating in the economy. With this attachment of new role women are facing some challenges too. This research paper deals with those problems that are faced by a working woman, in both her personal life as well as professional life. Balancing both the parts is the biggest challenge for any working woman of Bangladesh.

This dual responsibility of working in and out makes a woman’s life very difficult. Still women are trying their best to cope up with all the difficulties.
