Working-family evidence
Work, care and the whole person.

Directly examines work and family life, parenting, caregiving or employment policies for families.
Editorial reading guide · Respect
Is permission to work at home enough if the culture still rewards constant availability?
This reading brings ideal-worker culture and coworker homeworking alongside men's and women's work-family conflict into the respect pathway. The multilevel organizational survey across nine european countries offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
11011 employees in 869 teams and 259 organizations
Age / stage: Working adults; not exclusively parents
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess managerial support, ideal-worker norms and team homeworking?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about gender-specific associations within teams and organizations?
- What would need to be checked before adopting matching formal homeworking access with supportive daily norms?
Keep the limits in view
Multilevel survey associations do not establish causal policy effects; the studied European organizations and historical period constrain transfer.
