Working-family evidence
Work, care and the whole person.
Relevant to decisions about support planning that includes both working parents; the original evidence concerns 454 employed mother-father couples in two regions of Chile.
Directly examines work and family life, parenting, caregiving or employment policies for families.
Editorial reading guide · Collaboration
Could support for either parent benefit both sides of a family partnership?
This reading brings workplace family support and symmetrical crossover in couples' job and family satisfaction into the collaboration pathway. The dyadic parent survey with direct and indirect relationship models offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
454 employed mother-father couples in two regions of Chile
Age / stage: Parents of children aged 12-16
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess perceived workplace support and work-family balance?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about intraindividual versus interindividual satisfaction pathways?
- What would need to be checked before adopting support planning that includes both working parents?
Keep the limits in view
Observational couple-level associations cannot prove causal crossovers; two regions and mother-father couples limit representativeness.
