Work-life balance policies from a gender equality perspective – the forgotten corpo- rate social responsibility in Danish CSR policy. CSR has increasingly attracted national governments and social partners’ attention worldwide. Denmark is no exception. The Danish initiatives have mainly focused on employment related issues rather than gender equality and work-life balance issues. In fact, gender equality is rarely a topic discussed in the Danish CSR policies. This paper argues that social partners have through collective agreements voluntary taken on a social responsibility to ease employees’ work/life balance and thereby promote gender equality. However, these policies mainly address the problems faced by working mothers, less so fathers and rarely careers other than parents are therefore expected to combine work and care-giving with limited if no support from their workplace.
