Yet despite this value placed upon work-life balance, working parents face increasing work demands, as well as rising numbers of insecure and precarious jobs, both of which produce a deepening sense of economic uncertainty in everyday life, which has been intensified in the current period of financial crises. The agency and capabilities gap addresses these tensions in work-life balance within families, workplace organizations, and policy frameworks. Inspired by Amartya Sen's capabilities approach, this volume considers not just what individuals do, but also their scope of alternatives to make other choices. It includes rich contextualized studies across Western and Eastern European countries and Japan, with a focus on gendered agency inequalities for work-life balance.Work-life balanceVANC032754ECWork and familyVANC032755ECQuality of lifeVANC032756ECGBOxfordVANL000020HobsonBarbara MeilVANV082807Oxford university <editore>VANV107944650ITSOL20230616RICAhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=672431E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ECONOMIAIT-CE0106VAN03NVAN0107260BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ECONOMIA03CONS e-book(672431) 03BDE527 20170111 BuonoWork312162UNICAMPANIA
