TÖÖ- JA PEREELU ÜHITAMINE REC<strong>ON</strong>CILING WORK AND FAMILY LIFE<br />
up to two years of age in the household and working part-time reported the need to take care of<br />
children or adults requiring care as the reason for part-time work.<br />
Women have shortened working hours and taken days off to take care of children remarkably<br />
more often than men. Only remote working has been used by men a little more often than by<br />
women.<br />
Flexible working time may compensate for lower wages and as women primarily are expected to<br />
take care of children, the effect of the application of this compensation mechanism is also higher<br />
for women. In order to balance the effect between men and women, men should assume more<br />
responsibilities for taking care of children than before. However, a higher contribution of men to<br />
taking care of children need not necessarily depend on the wish of the men alone but is also<br />
related to the attitude of employers and traditional role behaviour of women.<br />
