This paper explores the impact of work-life balance challenges on social sustainability and highlights the various implications involved. The survey has conducted on 200 working women in an around Ballari city.Additionally, neglected work-life balance can hinder social cohesion, decrease community engagement, and erode social trust. Lastly, it can impact economic productivity, as overworked individuals experience decreased efficiency and innovation in the workplace. Addressing work-life balance challenges such as Cultural challenges, Work environment challenges, Work structure challenges  and Social challenges is crucial for promoting social sustainability. Strategies such as flexible work arrangements, promoting a healthy work culture, and providing parental leave and childcare support can contribute to achieving a better work-life balance and enhancing social sustainability.
