Women's Employment and Household Decision-Making: The Mediating Role of Economic Contribution in Multan Division

Abstract

Due to women's growing participation in the workforce, Multan Division's sociocultural landscape is undergoing significant change, especially in family structures. This study used a quantitative methodology, gathering information from a representative sample of female educators with a range of experience levels. The main factors were age, educational background, socioeconomic status, length of teaching experience, and family structure (nuclear or joint). Regression analysis and the t-test were used in this study's analysis to compare group means. The results of the regression coefficient show that job demands and family relationship satisfaction are negatively correlated. Regressions and t-tests both show that working women's family relationships are negatively impacted by an increase in workplace responsibilities. The regression indicates that as hours and stress levels rise, the probability of a strong family bond declines.
