Conflict between work and family

Research has shown that, today, most couples share a common problem that can have detrimental effects on their well-being and that is the conflict between their work’s demands and their family’s needs. Both male and female employees are required to place work before family demands in order to ‘succeed’ in the work sphere. They both engage in increasingly complex responsibilities and roles that can result in an extensive conflict between the two central realms of adult life.
Although some studies demonstrate that the entrance of women in the labour force brought many changes concerning gender equality within the home, this is not completely true. In particular, in

The situation in Slovekia
Dear Vasiliki,
My name is Lenka Lendvayova and I am a student concerned with such kind of matters as I am a member of a society that has to face problems that rise due to a such a conflict. Nowdays, women have to join the labour force as wages are quite low and a whole family cannot live on one single wage. The situtation in Slovekia is similar to that in Greece women that work outside of the house are also responsible for the housekeeping and childcaring which I find very unfair.Also due to this work overload many couples are dissatisfied with their lives and family cohesion is at stake.
I believe that the goverment as well as the organisations should pose family friendly schemes that will protect workers and their needs.
Lenka
