Journal Title: Journal of Health and Medical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The role women carry out today is somewhat different compared to earlier times due to the necessity of balancing the work of their home and job simultaneously. Despite achieving immense success in the work field, they cannot underestimate nor minimize the duties and responsibilities that need to be carried out at their home. Since, women also need to fulfill the obligation of their children's upbringing, incremental pressure comes into place due to the purpose of balancing both their career and relationships. The social context of Bangladesh makes it a strenuous task for women to ensure a healthy work-life balance. Although numerous researches have been conducted on the work-life balance, none of them has neither investigated nor did shed light on the work-life balance of female doctors in Bangladesh. Hence, it is essential to study and explore the prevailing situation of the work-life balance of female doctors.
