Among the issues and topics covered are the following:
- - differences and similarities between men and women and particularly between mothers and fathers in their work choices;
- - 'third shift' work (work at home at night or during weekends);
- - effect of the extent to which employers perceive management of this process to be a 'burden';
- - employers' exploitation of the psychological interconnection between masculinity and breadwinning;
- - organisational culture that is more available for supervisors than for rank and le workers;
- - weak enforcement mechanisms and token penalties for non-compliance by employers;
- - trade unions as the best hope for precarious workers to improve work-life balance;
- - crowd-work (on-demand performance of tasks by persons selected remotely through online platforms from a large pool of potential and generic workers);
- - an example of how to use work-life balance insights to evaluate the law;
- - collective self-scheduling;
- - employers' duty to accommodate; and
- - nancial hardship as a serious threat to work-life balance.
As it has been shown clearly that work-life con ict is associated with negative health outcomes, exacerbates gender inequalities, and many other concerns, this unusually rich collection of essays will resonate particularly with concerned lawyers and legal academics who ask what work-life balance literature has to offer and how law should respond.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
