"In spite of Australians' reputation for being laid-back and carefree, average weekly hours worked by both full-time and part-time workers have increased over the last two decades. Many workers, especially working mothers, are now struggling to achieve a balance between work and their personal lives. Productivity and the skills shortage, working families, work-related stress, job satisfaction, flexible work arrangements, family-friendly employers, child care and disability/elder care arrangements, government assistance, household debt, downshifting ... how can Australians achieve a greater balance between paid work, family and carer responsibilities and leisure time?"--Provided by publisher.
For secondary school age.
