The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of achievement motivation (AM) and anxiety (AN) on the children of working and non-working women. These kids are in high school. A random sample of 10 secondary schools in the city of Ahmedabad was selected for this study. A unit of 250 children was selected for data collection, of which 90 were working children and 160 were non-working women. The resulting analysis showed that the children of working women were more affordable than the children of non-working women. Moreover, there is a significance difference between the anxiety of working and non-working women’s children. After the analysis of anxiety of working and non-working women’s children, girls of working women showed the highest anxiety. These may be associated with some reasons, like girls have to share part of their women responsibility and the girls working women do not get required attention, guidance and care during their formative period.
