Across welfare societies we have seen the emergence of policies and
norms for work-life balance alongside rising expectations among
working parents to be able to participate in employment and
caregiving, and to have more time for family life and leisure. Yet
despite this value placed upon work-life balance, working parents
face increasing work demands, as well as rising numbers of insecure
and precarious jobs, both of which produce a deepening sense of
economic uncertainty in everyday life, which has been intensified
in the current period of financial crises. The agency and
capabilities gap addresses these tensions in work-life balance
within families, workplace organizations, and policy frameworks.
Inspired by Amartya Sen's capabilities approach, this volume
considers not just what individuals do, but also their scope of
alternatives to make other choices. It includes rich contextualized
studies across Western and Eastern European countries and Japan,
with a focus on gendered agency inequalities for work-life balance.
