In this connection, three urban areas (Gulbahar, University Town and Hayatabad) and three rural areas (Kacha, Garahie, Palosai and Achinie) were selected. Cross-sectional data was randomly collected through well-defined questionnaires from the sample of 450 working women having age limit between 20 to 60 years. A multiple regression test was applied on two models. It was deduced, based on the findings that Model A for both selected urban and rural areas of the district Peshawar showed significant and positive relation with the status of working women except participation in decision making in one urban and two rural areas and ability to cope up with the situation in risk and uncertainty in one rural area showed negative relation. Similarly, Model B also showed positive and significant effect on working women's share of earning in family's total income. However, number of earning members of a family in all the three urban areas and two rural areas related negatively. Similarly, education of the head of the household in the two urban areas and total hours of work in a day in one rural area also related negatively with the working women's share of earning in their family's total income. Based on the findings and conclusions, it is recommended that government may allocate more funds and resources in budgets generally for urban and especially for rural areas for female education, increase in quotas for their jobs and create more opportunities for businesses so that it will enhance their status in jobs/businesses, which in turn would make them more empowered and independent in a society. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Dialogue (Pakistan) is the property of Knowledge Bylanes and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
