Abstract

In Pakistan, women are facing a great burden, as they play different roles in our society.

are not only limit their career opportunities but also cause stress and depression. In the urban areas of Balochistan, like Quetta, has women who are more aware, educated, and liberal, but to improve their condition, there is a need for transformation that challenges the gender division of labor  and women's subordination to men in society. In this research, the analysts will use the quantitative methodology and techniques, along with probability sampling methods, approaches for information collection. For this purpose, the interviews will be taken from the different places of Quetta, like "Jinnah Town," "Saryaib," "Settle Town," "Pashtoon Bag," "A One City," and "Liqat Bazar." In this research study, the sample size would be 100. The primary goal of this study is not only to highlight but also to discover the causes and effects of the work burden on women, as well as to make some recommendations to improve their lives. To improve our living standards in this era, we must change our mindset and culture.
