Concept information

Preferred term

work and family life  

Definition(s)

  • The issue of combining work and family has become more relevant in recent decades, as families in which all of the adults work for pay have become increasingly common (e.g., Jacobs, 2003). Since the 1970s, the proportion of families with a woman at home to take care of the domestic labor and a man in the workforce to take care of the economic labor has declined substantially (Jacobs, 2003).
