The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic upended work, family, and social life. These massive changes may have created shifts in exposure to work-life conflict. Using a national survey that followed Canadian workers from September 2019 into April and June 2020, the authors find that work-life conflict decreased among those with no children at home. In contrast, for those with children at home, the patterns depended on age of youngest child. Among individuals with children younger than 6 or between 6 and 12, no decreases in work-life conflict were observed. In contrast, those with teenagers did not differ from the child-free. Although these patterns did not significantly differ by gender, they were amplified among individuals with high work-home integration. These findings suggest an overall pattern of reduced work-life conflict during the pandemic—but also that these shifts were circumscribed by age of youngest child at home and the degree of work-home integration.

Conflict refers to the difference of opinion in layman terms, but the term is used for a better understanding as a clash that exists among different things. In this study, the work life conflict has been discussed and it describes the level of disagreement every individual faces while meeting the demands of both work as well as that of the family. The common perspective that exists among every individuals is that the work life conflict affects the quality of life of the working individuals and since, this statement subjects to variation and it needs to be tested the following objectives have been framed for the study. The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between work to family and family to work conflict and their effect on the quality of life among leather industry workers in Vellore. Data were gathered from 761 married workers employed in leather firms through a simple random sampling technique. The study has adopted the simple random sampling technique of data collection mainly due to its advantage of the probabilities of selecting each and every member of the target population as the samples for the study. SEM model is used for data analysis. The study identified that the rewards and recognition factors have a strong correlation with work to family conflict and employees’ health & that of their family members construct has a more positive association with the family to work conflict. On the other hand, work to family conflict possesses more impact over the quality of life than that of the normal family to work conflict. Results recommended that the government, Non-Government Organizations, and Women Self-help Groups must take necessary further measures such as quality of life awareness programs, alteration of working hours & ensuring employees' and their family members' well-being to avoid the work-life conflict issues and to improve their quality of life. This type of research would be highly helpful in order to conduct behavioural studies among the working individuals in the near future.
