Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of realizing childcare-friendly and gender equal workplaces in Japan, by conducting work-life balance surveys for employees. This study focuses especially on gender issues, career building, and family responsibilities. Reconsidering working styles has been one of the best remedies for work-life balance. However, reconsidering our individual or family lives is also important. Family resource management is more than cooking, doing dishes, and doing laundry. It keeps our family life and paid work decent.
