“…This study highlights important gender differences and spousal support when it comes to making choices concerning work and family. Future research should not ignore gender role issues when the work-family interface is studied (Southworth, 2014). Research on work flexibility should also pay more attention to gender differences in a family context.…”

“…Cha (2010, p. 303) writes that “overwork can reintroduce the separate spheres arrangement, consisting of breadwinning men and homemaking women, to many formerly dual-earner households”. Southworth (2014) raised the concept of work-life balance equity. Hoppmann and Klumb (2012) suggest a means for employed parents to manage work and family goals.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the relationship between family responsibilities and family support, on the one hand, and decisions by men and women concerning owning a business, as well as how many hours they work in that business. Design/methodology/approach The authors used data collected by the US Current Population Survey between 1989 and 2011 and had a starting sample of 1,258,430 individuals, and a final sample of 27,147. Findings The authors found that both women and men are more inclined to own a business when they are married, have children or receive financial support from their spouse. They also found widespread gender differences in these analyses. The influence of family-related issues on owning a business is stronger for women than for men. Originality/value The findings indicate that male business owners work longer hours if they have young children. In contrast, female business owners reduce their work hours if they are married, have young children and receive support from their spouse. Implications are discussed.

“…[ 67 ]) that might assist women in pregnancy and early motherhood. The demands of modern working life [ 62 , 68 , 69 ] and the cultural expectations on employees and mothers may not be compatible [ 15 , 70 ]. Maternity care professionals should therefore consider ways of enhancing public awareness by informing society that pregnancy and early motherhood are “another” state of normality and that women should not be expected to be “ultrafit” employees at this time (cf.…”

The number of women in paid employment is increasing. However, when becoming a mother for the first time, many seem unprepared for the challenge of balancing motherhood and work as well as for the impact on their health. The aim of this study was to investigate the health resources and strategies of employed women in Norway during pregnancy and early motherhood by means of salutogenic theory. A hypothetical-deductive interpretive approach based on Antonovsky's salutogenic theory was applied in a secondary analysis. A total of six themes were identified; three were classified as health resources when experiencing tension and three as health strategies. Salutogenic theory seems to be a useful framework for illuminating the health resources and strategies adopted by employed women who become mothers. The identified health resources when experiencing tension and the health strategies applied may have implications for maternity care professionals and employers in promoting the health of such women and supporting them to combine work and family life.

“…Regardless, this awareness started in the 20 th century, the occupational flexibility between work and home remained reconciled for professionals of all genders in the 21 st century (Southworth, 2014) and this has determined new families' ideologies. According to the American Community Survey of the US Census Bureau (2017), households and families are smaller, as is occurring in Europe, where there is a low fertility rate (Van Bavel & Rózanska-Putek, 2010).…”

Recognizing the inherent attention in examining how educational practices affect our future, there is little known about society’s demands related to early childhood education. This paper aims to analyze the current preschool enrolment situation in the Euro-Western world and the demands of society, focusing attention on the characteristics needed in the prepared environment and in teacher training practices that inclusive education offers. Different socio-cultural theories have been analyzed, and practices regarding human development have been presented as they guarantee an integral development of the child, one which respects infant developmental stages and offers the right scaffolding and environment to stimulate a child’s interest and potential. All these aspects are claimed in society, and are reflected in the Montessori Pedagogy principles, where thanks to the observation and knowledge regarding children’s needs, educators can prepare stimulating environments that lead to personal formative development.
