The samples consisted of 20 married working and 20 married non- working women of the age range of 20-45 years, with educational qualification of 10+2 and above. Cluster sampling technique was used for the selection of the sample. The State Self-Esteem scale was chosen for collection of data. SPSS was used for analyzing data.

The reason for this difference may be because of the fact that employment is associated with enhanced self-esteem and life
