20 Summary Several indicators of the dimension of balancing work and non-working life were examined on the basis of data from existing sources. The main source of data for these indicators was the Labour Force Survey. This paper demonstrates that family situation is of crucial relevance in examining work-life balance. Moreover, we have highlighted the need of establishing adequate facilities to assist working mothers with child care.
