Abstract
The 21st century has seen a dramatic change in workforce demographics
with increasing number of women entering the workforce in diverse
fields and occupational levels. As a result researchers are becoming
increasingly interested in studying the problems faced by working
women. This article presents a review of almost 47 researches published
in major psychological journals and abstract booklets of Pakistan from
1970’s to 2012. Review of these researches reveal that researchers during
late 70’s and early 90’s were mostly concerned with studying the home
and marital adjustment of working and non-working women. This trend
shifted a little during late 90’s and early 2000’s when researchers became
more concerned with studying the amount of stress experienced by
working married and unmarried women and men. However, it wasn’t
until late 2000’s that term such as work/family conflict and work/family
balance started appearing in research literature in Pakistan.
