Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the impact of a number of factors on parents´ work-life balance, such as the socio-demographic context, school timetables, and family co-responsibility in tasks pertaining to children’s schooling. A sample of 859 Galician families with children in secondary education (12-16 years old) completed a self-administered questionnaire on time management. The results showed that work-life balance may be influenced by family structure, parents´ employment status, and children’s age. The worst work-life balance was associated with low levels of satisfaction with school schedules and holiday distribution. Also, there was a low level of co-responsibility in tasks pertaining to children’s schooling, being mostly women the ones in charge of tasks. Co-responsibility was positively related to work-life balance when tasks demand day-to-day participation.
