An Empirical Study on Work Life Balance of Dual Career Couples in Service Sector

Abstract

 Indian culture and society have always been  hierarchical and stratified. The several hierarchies and  stratification within the family was based on age, sex,  ordinal position and within the community- it was of  caste, lineage, wealth, learning, occupation. All this  have been maintained by ‘a complex combination of  custom, functionality, and religious belief. Indian  society is known for each individual lives by the  ‘ascribed’ rather than the ‘achieved’ status. The classic  and traditional Hindu family ascribed the status of  ‘Pativrata’ to the wife. ‘Pativrata’ literally translates as  ‘one who is vowed to her husband.’ It implies that a  wife must accept as her given (beholden) duty the  service and devotion to her husband and family .
