What is it about?
The purpose of this study is to explore the ways in which work practices promote work-life balance when family time is available (as a spillover effect from work to personal life) and how differently they affect men and women. Based on 71,758 participants data, this study reveal that some work practices (autonomy and confidence at work) enhance work-life balance. The time available for family and domestic care also enhance work-life balance, and this effect is more relevant for women than for men.

Why is it important?
