Objectives: To analyze the imagery of women on reconciling work and family life to explore the beliefs, opinions and related experiences of gender inequality. Methods: We applied a qualitative methodology of in-depth, semi-structured individual and group women in vocational training courses. We have also conducted interviews with experts on gender equality. Results: Women and experts interviewed manifest the presence of barriers to reconciling work and family both in the organizations, career advancement, and applicable legislation. Conclusions: There is an undercurrent in the collective imagination and individual beliefs of society that allows the maintenance of the values associated with the patriarchal organization, sexual division of labor and socializing unequal gender roles. It is required a transformation of work organization to improve the lives of people.

Upper Secondary

Based on current societal transitions and in the context of lifelong learning, both upper secondary education, higher education and vocational training are invited to think about how to enable people, at any stage of their life, to take part in stimulating learning experiences. The expectancy to be present at one core location is getting more and more difficult in this (inter)national society. In addition, the student population is changing and balancing work and family life becomes an important point of priority. Therefore, it is important to make education less dependent on location and time and improve flexibility within the learning trajectory (Lakhal, De Sherbrooke, Bateman, 2017). Next to this, there are growing insights about the need to collaborate.

Work Burden

The COVID-19 pandemic generated economic contraction across the world. In India, the stringent lockdown led to extreme distress. The unprecedented situation adversely affected the women’s efforts to balance professional life with family life because of a disproportionate increase in their domestic work burden and a shift in their workstation to home. Since every job cannot be performed remotely, women employed in healthcare services, banks and media witnessed additional risks of commuting and physical interaction at the workplace. Based on personal interviews of women in the Delhi-NCR region, the study aims to explore the commonalities and variances in the challenges experienced by the women engaged in diverse occupations. Using the qualitative methodology of flexible coding, the study finds that a relatively larger section of women travelling to their office during the pandemic, rather than those working from home, had an effective familial support system that helped them navigate this tough time.

 Resumen: La conciliación de la vida personal, familiar y laboral supone un reto para cualquier sociedad que pretenda hacer efectiva la igualdad de género. El actual desarrollo de políticas públicas en este sentido se enfrenta a diversos obstáculos económicos, políticos e ideológicos relacionados con el modo en que se ha conformado y conceptualizado históricamente la división sexual del trabajo en torno a dos espacios separados y jerarquizados: el público y el privado. Se revisa el marco normativo español y europeo en el que se insertan las diversas medidas de conciliación. Por último, se hace referencia a los debates más actuales en torno a los principales logros y limitaciones de las medidas de conciliación, y a la necesidad de desarrollar una verdadera corresponsabilidad entre mujeres y hombres respecto a las responsabilidades domésticas y de cuidados.Palabras clave: Conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar, corresponsabilidad, cuidados, división sexual del trabajo, igualdad de género, políticas públicas.Abstract: The reconciliation of work and family life is a challenge for any society willing to implement gender equality. The present development of public policies in this sense faces different economic, political and ideological obstacles related to how the sexual division of labor has been shaped and conceptualized historically around two separate and hierarchical public and private spheres. The Spanish and European legal framework in which reconciliation policies are inserted is revised. Finally, present debates on reconciliation measures’ main achievements and constraints as well as the need to develop real co-responsibility between women and men regarding domestic and care work are raised.Keywords: Work/family reconciliation, co-responsibility, care, sexual division of labor, gender equality, public policies.

New Perspective

Building on Fielding’s idea of escalator regions as places where young people migrate (often temporarily) to get rapid career advancement, this paper proposes a new perspective on 'escalator migration' as it applies to frontier or remote regions in particular. Life events, their timing and iterations have changed in the thirty years since Fielding first coined the term ‘escalator region’, with delayed adulthood, multiple career working lives, population ageing and different dynamics between men and women in the work and family sphere. The object of this paper is to examine recent migration trends to Australia's Northern Territory for evidence of new or emerging 'escalator migrants'.

Gendered Division Of Labor

In modern liberal democracies, the gendered division of labor is partially the result of men and women making different choices about work and family life, even if such choices stem from social norms about gender. The choices that women make relative to men’s disadvantage them in various ways: such choices lead them to earn less, enjoy less power and prestige in the labor market, be less able to participate in the political sphere on an equal basis, make them to some degree financially dependent on others, and leave them at a bargaining disadvantage and vulnerable in certain personal relationships. This chapter considers if and when the state should intervene to address women’s disadvantage and inequalities that are the result of gender specialization. It is argued that political liberals can and sometimes must intervene in the gendered division of labor when persons’ interests as free and equal citizens are frustrated.

Using Data

This article analyses the contribution to local development by women workers in the fruit- and vegetable-handling sector in Almería (Spain) over the last five years (2015–2019). It is a continuation of research carried out during the period 2000–2014. Using data collected through surveys and focus groups, the aim is to ascertain if the results obtained in this analysis meet the condition of sustainability, i.e., whether the improvement in working women’s quality of life has been maintained over time, and whether these beneficial effects have multiplied. The results show that women workers in the fruit- and vegetable-handling sector are satisfied with their jobs and with the company they are working for. The existence of fixed-discontinuous employment contracts facilitates greater flexibility for women in terms of balancing work and family life. This main contribution of this study lies in extrapolating the sustainability of a local development model in regard to other initiatives that aim to increase women’s empowerment in the labour market.
