Document Summary
3 division of labour, paid work, family structure. Role overload: when you have too much to do in a given amount of time, experienced by women more than men, role of being a student, an employee, a sibling, a friend, etc. Caregiver strain: emotional strain, physical strain, financial strain, family strain, dynamics in the family. Women are more likely than men to report high role overload and caregiver strain. In dual income families, women devote more hours a week than men to non-work activities (i. e. childcare, eldercare) Canadians experience work to life conflict. 60% of canadians who are employed outside of the home cannot balance work and family demands. Individuals with childcare or eldercare responsibilities report the most work to family conflict. Canadians think about leaving their jobs weekly: have their family function impaired, are less likely to engage in a positive parenting practice.
