Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Reconciling work and family life is a key challenge in contemporary societies. Many families face conflicts when attempting to meet the requirements of work and home. However, searching for a balance does not only concern individuals or families. It is also an issue for workplaces and social policies. Thus, approaching this topic from different levels of analysis (micro / meso / macro) is a particular focus adopted by this course. At all levels, specific aspects are brought into discussion, such as family members’ perspectives, childcare, parental leave policies, time use, career patterns, life course, family forms, labour market flexibilisation, and gender roles.
