Summary

The abundance of research on work-family issues in recent decades highlights the prevalence of employee struggles to reconcile work and non-work demands, and the importance of exploring the complexities associated with issues of work-family conflict. Given the relevance of work-family issues and that there is considerable variation across countries in governmental, legal, organizational, and academic attempts to navigate these issues, it is important to review the factors that have contributed to the current state of affairs. This chapter provides an overview of work-family research in Western and Southern Europe. Specifically, this chapter begins with a review of the socioeconomic context of Western and Southern Europe. We then review the existing literature on work-family issues in select countries within these regions and compare regional trends and findings. Finally, we offer recommendations for future research to advance our understanding of work-family issues in this area.
