Abstract
The increasing participation of women in the workforce represents one of the most significant social transformations in contemporary societies. While women’s employment contributes to economic development and enhances household income, it has also generated complex changes in family structures and relationships. These changes have brought about some concerns about their possible contribution to breaking up of families, such as family cohesiveness, role conflicts, and diminished parental involvement. Hence, the scrutiny of the fact of women employment and its consequences on the stability of the family has become a provocative question of sociological and developmental studies. The study aimed to examine the reality of women's work and its role in family fragmentation in the Pakistan. The study adopted a descriptive approach and the sample consisted of 90 male and female students from Sargodha city. The results revealed that the arithmetic means for the sample's responses to the statements regarding the impact of women's work on their family responsibilities were overall (3.51), indicating a moderate degree. The results further showed that the overall mean for the statements related to the impact of women's work in the Pakistan on their family responsibilities was 3.56, suggesting a moderate level of impact. Additionally, the results of the multiple linear regression analysis applied to test the study hypothesis indicated a strong relationship between women's employment and family fragmentation.
