THE IMPACT OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE ON THE Q!)ALLTY OF LIFE OF WORKING WOMEN lN WHITE COLLAR JOB LN WEST BENGAL

Abstract

Despite the worldwide quest for Work-Life Balance, very few have found an acceptable definition of the concept. Work-Life Balance does not mean an equal balance, trying to schedule an equal number of hours for each of our various works and personal activities as it will seem very unrewarding and unrealistic. Life is and should be more fluid than the concept. Our best individual work Life balance will vary over time, often on a daily basis. What is right balance for us today will probably be different for tomorrow. The right balance for us when we are single will be different when we marry, or if we have children or when we start a new career versus when we are nearing retirement.
