摘要：Work–life balance is a concept including proper prioritizing between .work. (career and ambition) and .lifestyle. (health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development/meditation). Related, though broader, terms include .lifestyle calm balance. and .lifestyle choices.. Most recently, there has been a shift in the workplace as a result of advances in technology. Researchers have found that employees who consider their work roles to be an important component of their identities will be more likely to apply these communication technologies to work while in their non-work domain. Today there are many young women who do not want to just stay at home and do house work, but want to have careers. About 64% of mothers whose youngest child was under age six, and 77% of mothers with a youngest child age 6-17 were employed in 2010, indicating that the majority of women with dependent care responsibilities cannot or do not wish to give up careers. While women are increasingly represented in the work force, they still face challenges balancing work and home life. Both domestic and market labor compete for time and energy. "For women, the results show that that only time spent in female housework chores has a significant negative effect on wages". We can address it. Nissan addresses it, Avon addresses it, and Merck addresses it. Big companies that don.t turn easily address it, and if they make a difference, and they have seen results, it is possible everywhere. So yes, [gender bias] is bad, and no one want to have to talk about it, but given that it.s still out there, isn.t it wonderful that we have to figure it out how to deal with it, how to address it, and how to overcome it.
