Work-Life Conflict

How well are Canadian workers balancing the multiple roles of worker, spouse, and, in many cases, parent? Are there differences between regions in Canada? In this section we present findings from the research by Duxbury and Higgins on how professional employees across Canada are experiencing work-family conflict as they try to balance these multiple roles. We examine three indicators: role overload; role interference (work interference with family and family interference with work); and caregiver strain.
