Abstract

[The work-family balance has become a major issue for both parents and policy-makers in a context of massive female labour force participation and the spread of the dual-earner family model. According to the French GGS survey, economically active persons find it more difficult to reconcile work and family life if they have non-standard working hours, a working day divided into two separate shifts, or if they work on an irregular basis. The presence of children in the household, and their number, strengthen this feeling. These observations suggest a need to adjust work schedules after the birth of children in order to improve the work-family balance.]
