abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how individual and
macro-level factors shape the work-life balance of young men and women
across European countries. Design/methodology/approach The paper
combines macro-level data from the official statistics with
individual-level data from the Work, Family and Wellbeing (2010/2011)
module of the European Social Survey. The study uses multilevel
modelling to explore the factors which shape the work-life balance of
men and women aged 15-34 across 24 European countries. Findings The
findings show both differences and similarities between young men and
women in how education shapes work-life balance. Higher education
increases the likelihood of considering work-life balance as important
in work selection for men, while lower education decreases the odds of
considering this balance for women. More education is associated with
lower acceptance of the traditional norm, for both men and women, and
less time spent on housework. Higher share of family benefits decreases
the importance of work-life balance, more so for men than for women.
Work-life balance is more important for men living in conservative,
Mediterranean and post-socialist welfare regimes compared to those from
social-democratic regimes. Social implications - The policy implications
are to more closely consider education in the transformation of
gender-sensitive norms during earlier stages of child socialization and
to design more holistic policy measures which address the multitude of
barriers individuals from poor families and ethnic/migrant background
face. Originality/value The study contributes to existing literature by
applying the capability approach to the empirical investigation of
work-life balance. The analytical model contains three dimensions -
norms about paid/unpaid work, considering work-life balance in the
choice of employment and time spent on unpaid work. Through this
approach, we are able to uncover the agency inequality of young people
taking into account individual level characteristics, including gender,
education, ethnicity and macro-level factors.'
