Abstract : Family and work are the dual parameters and maintaining an equilibrium between both is vital for individual’s health with wealth; but the changing nature of competitive world has made this task as daunting. In such scenario there are some policies prepared by welfare state especially for women but still ironically the female workers who constitute more than 90% of informal sector are deprived of any such policies which are available to women in unorganised sector. This chapter highlights various policies initiated by private sector conglomerates for female employees so that they can uphold proper work life balance but at the same time highlights the issue of Women workers in unorganised sector where females are deprived of such benefits.

Keywords : Women Worker, Female Work Life Balance, Policies, Health.
