Work/life transitions in the Italian public sector

What is it about?

The aim of this article is to contribute to this debate by proposing the concept of ‘biographical transition’ as an alternative approach to understanding how (paid) work and other life domains interweave. We shall examine in particular biographical transitions between work and non-work, seeking to understand the positionings enacted by men and women in order to disentangle work conditions and the quality of private life.

Why is it important?

– The paper proposes the concept of “biographical transition” as an interpretative category with which to study the different strategies and experiences of work/life balance and an heuristic tool able to give sense to the complex interweaving among different life trajectories in the contemporary society.
