AB  - In recent times, both men and women regularly share the responsibility of earning for the betterment
of their family. The dual roles played by the women themselves appear to have profound implications for family
health and nutrition education, especially, in developing countries such as Nigeria. The aim of this study was
therefore, to determine the work-life balance among female industrial workers in Anambra State, Nigeria. The
study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The sample for this study was 474 female industry workers.
The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. Mean and t-test statistic was used for data analysis. The
finding of the study showed among others that female workers in the industry come home late from work to
prepare their family meal and long working hours have a great influence on the family meal in families. The
finding of the study also showed that industrial female workers maintain an unhealthy social life, pay less
attention to their spouses and children due to work and family imbalance and spend less time with their
families. Finally, the study found out several feasible coping strategies being adopted by the respondents for
work-life balance. Families and working-class married women should attend family health seminars, workshops
and conferences to gain adequate knowledge on how to integrate work and family life as part of everyday
reality. Also, industrial policy-makers should make flexible policies that will avail female workers opportunities
to attend to non-work demands with minimal interference in work roles.
