Abstract

The research aimed to equate working and non-working women with respect to their recognition and quality of life. Method: A selection of 160 women (80 working and 80 non-working) were selected for the research, using unique inclusion criteria. The data were compiled using the Miller Scale for Social Affection, the Updated Dyadic Scale for Adaptations, the Extensive Scale for Marriage Happiness and the WHO Standard for Life. Descriptive figures, multivariate variance analysis, Pearson's coefficients of association and a multiple regression study evaluate results is used for study. Results: The results showed substantial disparities in group, with working people showing enhanced interpersonal partnerships, adaptation, marital stability and strengthened expectations in the quality of life and the usage of spouse violence, sexual attacks and physical injuries for dispute resolution. Results of the study of regression found that 42.2% and 16.9% of the variances in lives of working people and non-worker people were influenced by emotional cut-off, a self-differentiation factor. In non-workers, 33% of the variation in the standard of life was  reflected by physical attack  as a dispute resolution strategy.  There were substantial disparities between  working  and  non-working  women.  An  important  discovery,  while  working  women  appeared  to  show  improved affection, was that most women in both categories show low adjustment with their husbands. Conclusion: It may be argued that employees have a higher standard of life than non-workers who are exploited most frequently by partners.
