The reconciliation of requirements in the productive sphere and socio-family conditions: a firm case study

Abstract

This paper examines, first of all, the grade of association or independence there are between the socio-productive and the socio-family conditions and, secondly, the effect of the combination of such ambits upon the activities and responsibilities of the family life, and also over the difficulties to accomplish them. The conclusions show the tensions and contradictions that arise when the workers (individually and with their couples) need to combine the family life and the requirements of their jobs. Therefore, the workers need to conciliate their strategies, projects, activities and possibilities of agreement
