This study explores the effectiveness of work-life balance among married female doctors in Jaipur, focusing on how their professional commitments intersect with their roles as mothers. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research involved surveying 200 doctors and conducting 30 in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that a significant majority of participants struggle to maintain a work-life balance, with 75% facing challenges in juggling professional and family responsibilities. Extended work hours and societal pressures emerged as key factors contributing to this imbalance.Coping mechanisms such as family support and professional childcare were commonly employed.
