Fathers and Mothers: Dilemmas of the Work-Life Balance

Work-Life Conflict and Social Inequality in Western Europe

“…While cross-national studies have also been undertaken, based on qualitative research (Abrahamson 2007) and smaller scale quantitative surveys (Fine-Davis et al 2002), cross-national research, particularly studies which consider the individual and household level, as well as the interface between paid work and family life at a societal level, are relatively limited.…”
