The difficulty of balancing work and family life : Difficulté de concilier travail-famille : ses impacts sur la santé physique et mentale des familles québécoises

28 May 2007

The strategy for locating recent and relevant studies consisted, first, of querying the following data bases: Medline, PsychINFO, Francis and Érudit, using combinations of key words such as balance and work and family; work and family and health (including mental and physical health); well-being and work and family and child; family and adolescent. [...] Women’s income and household financial security The transition of women from the private to the public sphere has called into question the traditional model of the man as provider and the woman devoted to family matters, while at the same time allowing women to acquire a measure of financial independence and professional fulfillment. [...] The presence of women in the job market is one of the factors explaining the expansion of the service sector, and the majority of the jobs in this sector are held by women. [...] Division of familial household responsibilities The strong presence of dual-earner families and the recognition of women’s contribution to the economic stability of the family have led couples to reassess the distribution of family and household tasks, and made it necessary for them to consider the career paths of both spouses. [...] The studies reviewed focus specifically on the impact of reconciling work and family on overall life satisfaction, family life satisfaction, the mental and physical health of parents, and the quality of their relationships with their spouse and children.
