Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate difference between the self-esteem of young working and non-working women. The purpose of the study was to explore, the relationship of work with the self-esteem of young working and non-working women. Present research was based on quantitative research design. The sample comprised of 180 respondents in which 90 were working women and 90 were non-working women having age range of 14 to 24 years. Non probability sampling technique was used to select the sample. “Rifai” self esteem scale was used to conduct the study.  Findings showed that there was significant difference in level of self-esteem of working women and non-working women. Results also showed that there was highly significant relationship between work and self-esteem. The self esteem of working women is higher than non working women which support the research hypothesis that working women have higher self-esteem comparative to non-working women.
