The objectives of this study are to point out problems in Japanese "family-supportive' companies by investigating employees' work-life balance. Main conclusions are drawn from the results : (1) Nowadays, the number of 'family-supportive' companies has been increasing, and they have many policies about employees' work-life balance.
