Publisher Description: Bulletin of Comparative Labour Relations Volume 98 Work-Life Balance in the Modern Workplace. Interdisciplinary Perspectives from Work-Family Research, Law and Policy provides insights into labour law's challenges from a work-life balance perspective. The term 'work-life balance' refers to the relationship between paid work in all of its various forms and personal life, which includes family but is not limited to it. In addition, gender permeates every aspect of this relationship. This volume brings together a wide range of perspectives from a number of different disciplines, presenting research findings and their implications for policy at all levels (national, sectoral, enterprise, workplace). Collectively, the contributors seek to close the gap between research and policy with the intent of building a better work-life balance regime for workers across a variety of personal circumstances, needs and preferences. What's in this book: Among the issues and topics covered are the following:
How this will help you: This book encourages to think on how labour law and work and family research can cooperate and reinforce each other. This rich collection of chapters clearly shows that work-life conflict is associated with negative health outcomes, gender inequalities and many other concerns and thereby resonates particularly with concerned lawyers and legal academics who ask what work-life balance literature has to offer and how law should respond. |
