Abstract
Tribal women of Jharkhand are the main bread earners in the society but are socially and economically deprived and have high rate of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and social insecurity, which cause high rate of mental problem among these women. This paper examines the level of depression and stress among rural tribal migrant women of Ranchi district in Jharkhand. The data obtained by stratified random sampling was based on two sub-group of age (Younger and older) and ethnicity (tribal and non-tribal). The sample of 200 rural migrant labour women was drawn from some selected blocks and villages of Ranchi district. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) by Aaron T. Beck (1978) was used to measure level of depression and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) -12 by Shamsunder et.al. (1986) and Goutam et.al. (1987) was applied to measure the level of stress. Result indicated that the older labour sample group has shown high level of depression and stress than younger migrant group. Tribal sample have shown high level of depression and stress as compare to non-tribal sample group. Depression and stress were highly correlated among migrant as well as non-migrant sample.
