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. 606 $aQuality of life$3VANC032756$2EC 606 $aWork and family$3VANC032755$2EC 606 $aWork-life balance$3VANC032754$2EC 620 $aGB$dOxford$3VANL000020 702 1$aHobson$bBarbara Meil$3VANV082807 712 $aOxford university $3VANV107944$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240906$gRICA 856 4 $uhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=672431$zE-book ?
