Cristina Leovaridis and Andreea Nicolaescu

Revista Romana de Sociologie, 2011, vol. 1-2, 108-122

Abstract: A work-life balance is one of the factors that increases an employee’s individual satisfaction, leading to higher economic performance, an aspect that is found in most EU strategic documents dealing with the labour market. Focusing on gender differences, the article carries out a comparative analysis of the situation in EU Member States, on several dimensions: working time, flexible work arrangements, providing opportunities for assuming different domestic responsibilities, etc.

Keywords: work-life balance; labour market; part-time employment; gender gap; flexible work arrangements (search for similar items in EconPapers)
