The aim of the present study is to determine the impact of perceived stress on the health of employed and non-employed women and draw a comparison between the two. A total sample of 80 female subjects employed and non-employed, were selected for the study. To collect the data, Perceived Stress scale and General Health Questionnaire were used. The obtained results were analysed using correlation and ‘t’ test. The results reveal that perceived stress is experienced to a greater degree by employed women when compared to non-employed women and that perceived stress impacts the health of employed women to a greater extent.
