Balancing Work and Compensation: Insights from Anganwadi Workers and Government Primary Teachers in Rural Bengaluru

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the comparative dynamics of workload and compensation among Anganwadi workers and government primary teachers in rural Bengaluru. Employing a sample size of 130 respondents (65 Anganwadi workers and 65 primary teachers), the research analyzes disparities in workload, pay, and job satisfaction using statistical techniques like independent t-tests, two-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Findings reveal that Anganwadi workers face significantly higher workloads but receive substantially lower compensation and benefits compared to primary teachers. Moreover, workload negatively impacts job satisfaction in both groups, with Anganwadi workers experiencing a more pronounced effect. The study underscores the critical need for policy interventions to bridge these gaps and improve the financial and professional well-being of Anganwadi workers.
