Conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar. Una mirada a las tendencias de las políticas regionales y nacionales

Abstract

Abstract: Work-family reconciliation refers to a set of measures whose purpose is to provide workers with favorable conditions for their work development, without affecting their personal and family life, implementing policies that allow them to face these difficulties, presenting substantial changes that not only benefit the economic aspect of the countries, but also the political, social and cultural aspects. Therefore, this study analyzes the trends in regional and national public policies aimed at work-family reconciliation, considering a mixed methodological approach whose research techniques are qualitative and quantitative, which, through literature review and survey analysis, will help to meet the stated objective. The results obtained show that among the main components that generate difficulties in reconciling work and family life are: caring for children under fifteen years of age and caring for dependents, due to the lack of flexible schedules for both entering and leaving work, leading to an overload of roles which generally applies to one person in the family.
