Work–Life Balance as a Household Negotiation
Policies to bring more women into the formal workforce often do not consider the household work that women already do to support the survival of their families, making work-for-wages impossible or creating time famines for women who attempt to do both. Women’s ability to work formal jobs was a family project to reallocate labor. The focus on the individual in work–life balance research and policy-making inadequately represents a phenomenon that involves other household members, implicitly or explicitly. It also highlights the need to broaden our definition of “work” to include both the paid and unpaid labor that is vital to people’s survival.
