N our country Pakistan the literacy rate about 45% and the rest of the people 55% are

 Illiterate according to 1998 census of Pakistan (AnwarAlam, Applied Sociology,p28)

Despite the improvement n Pakistan’s literacy rate since its independence 1947 it’s

Overall literacy rate of 45 %( 56.5% for males and 32.6% for females) in 1998 still behind

 most of the countries in the region. The literacy rates may have arisen generally however

with the increase in population, the number of illiterate Pakistani has more than doubled

 Since 1951, while the number of illiterate women has tripled approximately 60% of the

 total population is illiterate, and women form 60% of the illiterate

 population (www.adb.org). In 1998, in Pakistan 27.54 % of employed women were in

 Professional (which includes doctors, nurse and teachers, researchers dentist and

 lawyers etc) occupation 22.3 % in elementary occupations and only 3.3% in clerical

 occupation (Abdul Hameed Malik,, Sociology of gender relations,p.58) .

many cultural constraints.

Historically women found working opportunity in agricultural work for example

harvesting, sowing and animal husbandry work, domestic work house main and laundry work.

By nineteenth century industrialization and urbanization created new job opportunities

 For both men and women a substantial number of women’s on the one hand, entered in

 factories and manufacturing……. they heavily concentrated in the garments industry as

 seamstresses and engaged in piece work such as folding books, rolling cigars or on the

 other hand entered into female profession of nursing teaching and social work.

When society modernizes, then female also comes out of their homes so, they

 Economically support their families We know that families is a basic unit of society.The family iscentral institution in all human

 societies,although it may take many differet forms.A family is a group of people related by blood,marriage, or adoptation.The

 role relations among people who considers themselves to be related in these ways are termed as kinship( Korn blum1988,p464)

 The current report which we will made is focused on impact of working women on the

Families we will select teaching profession.Employed women are defined as those women who are working in some institution

 for a salary which is fixed periodical payement Sardar(1979).Most women are employed to supplement the family income,to

 support themselves and their families or to gain personal fulfillment .To be employed outside homes, gives women a sense of

 identity,independence and autonomy.Besides it income increases the standard of living and add benefits to national stability.

 We analyze that how working women along with culturalconstraints, outside  environment and along with different problems
