Women today are encountering a demanding and fast-paced lifestyle. Taking care of the needs of her home along with office work makes 24 hours insufficient for a working woman. She has to balance both the requirements and make herself readily available in both places. The study focuses on the causes of stress and the coping strategies adopted by Middle-aged Women in the southern part of Erode city. The objectives of the study were to identify the factors at work and at home that cause stress, the health issues faced by the respondents, and the coping strategies for stress adopted by the Middle-aged Women in the southern part of Erode city. Incidental purposive sampling technique was adopted to select the respondents. 80 questionnaires were distributed among married middle-aged women, including teachers, shop in-charges, bank clerks, beauticians, etc., of which 54 completely filled questionnaires were received. Simple percentage and weighted average methods were used for analysis. Results revealed that most of the women took up their jobs because they had a passion for them. The women also agreed that it was due to financial difficulties and the help their spouse required to lead a respectable economic life. They were stressed as they had to work extra hours with heavy workloads and had no good relationship with their peers. They did not have support for household chores without a maid and had to take care of everything by themselves. They got exhausted mentally and physically, leading to health issues like body pain, backache, headache, digestive disorders, and for some, even menstrual problems.
