The purpose of present study was to evaluate the differences in degree of depression suffered by both working & non-working middle aged women. A total sample of 200 middle aged women (100 working and 100 nonworking) were studied. Tool used for the study was Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). The result showed that there were insignificant differences in degree of depression of working and non-working. Hypothesis is thus rejected that 43% working middle aged women are found mild depressive while 47% non-working middle aged women who are found moderately depressed caused due to large number of duties performed with no result obtained.
