Abstract
The main purpose of the article is to examine flexible working in Greece in the context of family responsibilities and family roles, focusing on the subjective interpretations of workers themselves. The results reported are derived from a broader study carried out in the Greek commercial sector in 1997. The analysis draws on the experiences of men and women of flexible work schedules as they were recounted in the course of in-depth interviews. In general, the results indicate that flexibility is almost exclusively employer induced and is therefore at odds with the special needs of women with caring responsibilities. Moreover, the promotion of equal opportunities for men and women, either directly or indirectly, has not been met through the implementation of flexibility, except in the most general sense of facilitating women's entry into paid employment
