Abstract

Work life balance is a broad concept including proper prioritizing between “work “ on one hand “life “on the other. Organised sector workers are distinguished by regular salaried jobs with-well defined terms and conditions of employment and fairly comprehensive social security protection. The conditions of work in the unorganized sector were unsatisfactory, the illiteracy, poverty and indebtedness forced them to work for lower wages and under unjust conditions. Women work in unorganized sectors for low wages due to low level skills, ignorance and thus face high level of exploitation. The study is concentrated on the imbalance between life and work of women in the unorganised sectors working in Brick kilns. For these 100 female workers were purposively selected for administrating interview schedule and the secondary sources like books, newspapers, periodicals and online resources also used for data collection. The study reveals that there is an imbalance between work and life of unorganised women due to insecurity, long working hours and lower wages.
