After analyzing this tough challenge faced by our professionals in maintaining a balance between their personal and professional life, the topic of Work Life Balance become sore subject among the research community. As a result, the demand for work-life balance by teachers is expending at unprecedented way. Conceptualization of balance is between one's time and her personal and professional goals and priorities. The main aim of the study is to examine the impact of WLB on marital status and gender of the people working in different educational institutes in Dehradun. In order to address the objectives, the relevant hypotheses have been framed with the relevant statistical tool like chi-square test to analyze their relationship. A survey was conducted on the different professionals in Dehradun city whose outcome shows a significant relationship found between Work-Life Balance with Gender and marital status.","PeriodicalId":181591,"journal":{"name":"WGSRN: Work-Life Conflict (Sub-Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130024569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One common explanation is women’s propensity to interrupt their careers, often voluntarily, more so than men. Yet, the determinants and trends of this gender gap in quit behavior has not been given much attention in the literature. Using the Current Population Survey and both NLSY 1979 and 1997 cohorts, I measure the gender gap in quit behavior and considers if it is changing over time. I also determine whether parenthood in particular affects quit decisions differently between men and women. After controlling for demographic and job characteristics, individual and geographic fixed effects, and also local unemployment rates, I find in both CPS and NLSY data that parenthood affects male and female voluntary turnover differently, and that the gender gap in voluntary turnover has declined over time.","PeriodicalId":181591,"journal":{"name":"WGSRN: Work-Life Conflict (Sub-Topic)","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124027502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Gender Differences in Telecommuting and Implications for Inequality at Home and Work","authors":"Thomas Lyttelton, E. Zang, K. Musick","doi":"10.31235/osf.io/tdf8c","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/tdf8c","url":null,"abstract":"The global pandemic has led to an unprecedented shift to remote work that will likely persist to some degree into the future. Telecommuting’s impact on flexibility and work family conflict is a critical question for researchers and policy-makers. Our study addresses this question with data collected before and during the COVID-19 crisis: the 2003-2018 American Time Use Survey (ATUS, N = 19,179) and the April and May 2020 COVID Impact Survey (N = 784). Comparing mothers and fathers who work exclusively at the workplace, exclusively from home, and part-day from home, we describe differences in time spent on housework, childcare, and leisure; the nature of time worked at home; and the subjective experiences of telecommuting. In addition to a broad descriptive portrait, we take advantage of a quasi-experimental design in the ATUS leave supplements to examine time working at home among those who report ever telecommuting, providing estimates of telecommuting’s effect on other uses of time that better approximate causal relationships than prior studies. We find that gender gaps in housework are larger for telecommuters, and, among telecommuters, larger on telecommuting days. Conversely, telecommuting may shrink the gender gap in childcare, particularly among couples with two full time earners, although childcare more frequently impinges upon mothers’ work time. Survey data collected following the March COVID19 stay-at-home orders show that telecommuting mothers more frequently report feelings of anxiety, loneliness and depression than telecommuting fathers. Early estimates of responses to the COVID19 pandemic offer insights into future implications of telecommuting for gender equality at work.","PeriodicalId":181591,"journal":{"name":"WGSRN: Work-Life Conflict (Sub-Topic)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126678651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
