Abstract	The social attitude to the role of women lags much behind the law. The attitude which considers women fit for certain jobs and not for others shades those who recruit employees. Thus, the women find employment easily as nurses, doctors, teachers and the caring and nurturing sectors, secretaries or in assembling jobs-the routine submissive sectors. But even if well qualified women engineers or managers or geologists are available, preference will be given to a male of equal qualification. A gender bias creates an obstacle at the recruitment stage itself. When it comes to remuneration, the law proclaims equality but it is rarely put into practice. The inbuilt conviction that women are capable of less work than men or less efficient than men governs this injustice of unequal salaries and wages for the same job. The age old belief of male superiority over female creates several hurdles for women at their place of work. These problems tend to make women less eager to progress in their careers. A woman’s work is not merely confined to paid employment. She has to always shoulder the burden of household chores as well. A woman could still bear up with these problems if she had control over the money she earns. But in most families, even now, her salary is handed over to father, husband or in-laws. So, the basic motive for seeking employment of getting independence is nullified in many women’s case. The present study is carried to explore the real condition of Indian working women and investigates the factors preventing women employees from aspiring for higher posts. It also tries to identify the problems and challenges faced by working women in India and at the same time clarifies these issues and problems.
