Indian women world's most stressed...

Women around the world feel stressed and pressed for time, but women in emerging markets are more stressed than their sisters in developed nations -- and Indian women say they are the most stressed of all, according to a survey published on Tuesday.

But while women in emerging markets may be under more pressure, they are also far more hopeful, with most seeing more financial stability and better chances for education for their daughters, according to the survey of 21 developed and emerging nations by global information and analytics firm Nielsen.

An overwhelming 87 percent of Indian women said they felt stressed most of the time, and 82 percent had no time to relax.

(...)

No matter where they were, though, women were more keyed into social networking than men, talking 28 percent more and texting 14 percent more every month. They also visited more Internet community sites.

 More than half of women in both developed and emerging nations said that computers, mobile phones and smart phones had changed their lives for the better. Full story...
