Abstract

India's rapid economic growth and urbanization have led to an increasing number of women joining the workforce, particularly in urban areas. While this shift has brought economic empowerment and independence for many women, it has also introduced new challenges and health concerns. This comprehensive review aims to examine the health status of urban working women in India, exploring the various factors that influence their physical, mental, and reproductive well-being. Drawing from academic research, government reports, and non-governmental organization (NGO) studies, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the prevalent health issues faced by this population, including occupational hazards, work-life balance challenges, and access to healthcare services. Additionally, it evaluates the role of existing policies and programs in addressing the unique health needs of urban working women. By highlighting the gaps and identifying areas for improvement, this review contributes to the ongoing discourse on promoting the overall well-being of this vital segment of India's workforce.
