Abstract

Reconciliation is the possibility of harmonising work, personal, family and community life; to this effect, it is essential to promote social, economic and time policies, as well as strategies that can enable the right of presence and the balance among the mentioned spheres. This approach compels to rethink the issue of co-responsibility, since it cannot be considered as a mere review of gender roles and as a balanced distribution of family tasks and household chores. We must achieve a social pact involving work, school and family life in order to respect childhood rights and family welfare. In the studied period (2009-2015), concurrent with the financial crisis and the loss of purchasing power, families with school-age children find more difficult to manage their times; besides, an increase of inequalities regarding the distribution of daily times is observed, with a clear polarization referred to reconciliation in the seven analyzed cities in Galicia. We have worked with N=1267 in 2009 and N=2037 in 2015.
