Purpose - The study aims to establish the effect of personal resourcefulness and marital adjustment on job satisfaction and life satisfaction of working women in India.Design methodology approach - A total of 300 women are studied - 100 each in the working women, home-based working women, and homemakers categories - using the following scales: socio economic status scale, general health questionnaire, self-esteem inventory, life satisfaction scale, perceived stress scale, marital adjustment scale, the self-control schedule, and job satisfaction questionnaire.Findings - It is found that the home-based working women are the least stressed, most well adjusted, and the most satisfied with their careers among the groups studied. Their ways of perceiving and handling stress are found to be more effective than those used by women in the other two groups.Practical implications - The study implicates women friendly work policies - like flexible job hours and home office - as well as a cooperative home environment and assistance for housework. Stress relief programmes, yoga and an overall change of attitude towards housework, female employees and sex roles are needed.Originality value - The study shows that a positive attitude towards their work in the family and adoption of practical family-friendly policies by organizations is likely to enhance productivity for the female workforce. Various need-based interventions are suggested.

A three-pronged social policy intervention model based on access, education, and engagement involving public–private partnerships, which may substantially enhance digitalisation of indigenous business models and digital empowerment of communities engaged in such professions, is recommended. Each 10% increase in internet penetration in emerging economies raises the per capita GDP by 1.2% (WEF 2015); however, access to the internet does not immediately lead to productive use because the target groups lack awareness and motivation. The spread of internet connectivity is impeded by demographic factors (Chen and Wellman 2005), the shortage of human capital and lack of demand (Park 2017), a lack of skills (Bornman 2016), poverty (Eisenman 2018), and attitudinal issues (Van Dijk 2017). The DCDP provides the handloom community low-cost wireless internet access and supplementary training in digital education and business.
