Adolescence is a life period which includes major changes in young person's physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth and development. Loneliness is a distressing and common experience throughout the adolescence. A cross-sectional comparative survey study was conducted to assess and compare perceived loneliness and social dissatisfaction among children of working and non-working mothers. Total 200 children of working and non-working mothers residing in urban areas of Kurali were selected by networking sampling technique. UCLA-Loneliness scale (Standardized) and Social dissatisfaction assessment scale (self-development) was used to collect data from the study participants. Study revealed that the overall level of perceived loneliness among children of working and non-working mothers was at moderate level with mean percentage of 38.6% and 36.05% respectively and observed statistically non-significant (p>0.05). Children of working mothers had slightly higher level (Mean %= 57.6%) of social dissatisfaction as compared to children of non-working mothers (Mean%=56.9%) which was statistically non-significant (p>0.05). Study concluded that overall level of perceived loneliness and social dissatisfaction among children of working and non-working mothers was at moderate level and mothers working status (working and non-working ) does not affect perceived loneliness and social dissatisfaction among their children.
