Abstract: In the evolving socioeconomic landscape, the roles of married women in the workforce have undergone significant changes, particularly in specialized sectors like the Regional Transport Office (RTO). This study investigates the impact of various socioeconomic factors on the lives of working married women within the RTO. Key factors examined include income, work-life balance, career advancement opportunities, family responsibilities, social support systems, health and well-being, and cultural norms.

The research is grounded in primary data collected from 70 respondents in the RTO of Amravati City using a stratified disproportionate random sampling method. Findings reveal that housing conditions, commuting challenges, and access to healthcare are among the most influential factors affecting the work-life balance, economic stability, and overall well-being of these women. The study also underscores the significant role of educational background, job security, and income level in shaping their opportunities, challenges, and outcomes.

The study highlights the complexities and multidimensional nature of the challenges faced by working married women in the RTO, emphasizing the need for supportive policies and interventions to improve their professional and personal lives. Recommendations include enhancing job flexibility, improving access to healthcare, and fostering supportive workplace environments that promote gender equality. The findings provide valuable insights into the interplay of socioeconomic factors in shaping the lives of working married women, with implications for policy-makers, employers, and social support networks.
