SUMMARY:Work-Life Balance Strategies in Family Policy
DESCRIPTION:Work-Life Balance Strategies in Family Policy\n25th September 2024\nVilnius\, Lithuania \nAcknowledging the importance of work-life balance is crucial for maintaining personal well-being and mental health which encompasses various aspects\, such as emotional\, psychological\, and social well-being. Therefore\, a healthy work-life balance positively affects our personal relationships and helps coping with stress. This balance extends to family responsibilities\, including care for both children and elderly family members. \nFamily care includes taking care of both children and older family members. According to 2019 Eurostat data\, almost 90 million people in the EU have care responsibilities for children\, and more than 12 million people in the EU take care of ill\, elderly and/or disabled relatives. Work-life balance rights are being consolidated in public policy across Europe (in great part following the transposition of the EU work-life balance directive)\, and also increasingly in company policies which are building family-supportive workplaces. \nThe European Pillar of Social Rights puts a strong focus on work-life balance of parents and carers\, with different initiatives to support families: legal frameworks like the EU work-life balance directive and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive; and policy frameworks like the European Care Strategy and the European Child Guarantee. \nThis European expert meeting \n1. Explored the intersectional dimensions of work-life balance\, considering how factors such as gender\, socioeconomic status\, race\, and ethnicity intersect with family dynamics and mental health outcomes.\n2. Promoted the integration of family-friendly working conditions\, mental health services and family-friendly policies into organisational structures that best meet families’ needs.\n3. Facilitated dialogue and collaboration among diverse stakeholders\, including employers\, employees\, policymakers\, researchers\, and community organisations\, to develop comprehensive strategies for supporting family mental health in the workplace. \nWorking languages: English and Lithuanian \nFull programme: English and Lithuanian. \nKey findings: You can see the full meeting report here. \nResources \nPresentations Session 1: Study session 1: The evolution of family policies in Europe \n\nWillem Adema\, Senior Economist\, Social Policy Division\, OECD\nSilvija Stanić\, Director\, Parents Association Step by Step\, Croatia\nTeresa Roščinska\, adviser of Horizontal Policy and Project Management Group\, Ministry of Social Security and Labour\, Lithuania\n\nPresentations Session 2: 1000 days of parenthood and the mental load \n\nVytautas Peciukonis\, Research Officer at European Institute for Gender Equality\nMartino Serapioni\, Research Programme Coordinator\, European Observatory on Family Policy\nVilma Ražauskienė \, Researcher at Institute Of Sociology At The Lithuanian Centre For Social Sciences\n\nPresentations Session 3: Caring for the caregiver \n\nSylvia Van Walleghem\, Researcher at KU Leuven in Magentaproject\, Belgium\nSarah Loriato\, Policy Officer on Employment and European Parliament Liaison\, AGE Platform Europe\nSandra Norvilienė\, Human Resources Manager\, Employment Partner Retiva\, Lithuania.\n\nPresentations 4: Building family-supportive workplaces  \n\nTina Weber\, Research Manager\, Eurofound\nMarta Pompili\, Policy Officer responsible for Gender Equality\, EQUINET\nInga Ruginienė\, President\, The Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation
