In the recent years, the participation of women in work force has increased considerably. Working women face more difficulties due to dual work i.e. paid work outside the home and unpaid domestic labor and child-care inside the home, both of which may occupy many hours each day. This situation results in role strain and the detrimental effects on women’s health due to the unequal division of labor within the home. The present study was carried out in Jaipur city of Rajasthan state. Total 400 respondents (200 couples= 200 husbands and 200 wives) were selected. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Results of Independent t-test shows that females experienced higher level of role strain, and had poor well-being and some health problems like anxiety, depression, sadness, irritability, body pain, thumping heart, giddiness, tiredness etc. as compare to males. Bivariate analysis and Pearson Correlation Coefficient result shows a negative correlation between role strain and subjective well- being. There was a positive correlation between role strain and health problems. This indicates that compared to men, women are expected to work more as homemakers and caregivers. Thus, while facing incompatibility between work and family roles, women may feel more role strain than men. These situations could be harmful to one’s mental and physical well-being. Consequently, the combination of employment and family roles may well have more impact on health for women than for men.
