More women are working. More mothers are working. Women and mothers are working more hours and this makes a tremendous contribution not only to household incomes, but also to our overall U.S. economy. It is good news for families and good news for our society.

The implications of increasing work are not only economic, but also affect family dynamics. Offering women the opportunity to control their schedules to a greater degree, offering family medical leave insurance, and making paid sick days available are recommendations by the authors of this study (Ellen Appelbaum, Heather Boushey, and John Schmitt) that are smart ideas to provide support for working women and working moms.

But it’s not just about women, these kinds of supports – from employers and from federal or state programs – would help men who are also juggling work and life.

When men and women can integrate – not just balance – work and life, they Bring Work to Life and they Bring their Life to Work.
