Equinet report on Work-life balance

Equinet (the European network of equality bodies) published, on the 8^th of July a new report on how equality bodies can contribute to promoting better working life balance.

Equinet states that reconciliation of professional and family life is a crucial part of improving equality between women and men since it covers many important aspects such as effective participation in the labour market and more equal sharing of caring responsibilities.

The report is based on discussions held with national members of Equinet and a survey on Working-life balance send to all members. The aim of the report is to support equality bodies to engage in working-life balance related issues as a way of broadening their mandate to work on combatting discrimination.
