Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of the relationship between the principle of equality and prohibitions of discrimination between men and women in the labour market. The study focuses on Italian and European legislation. We will try to demonstrate how the Work-life balance policies contribute to the achievement of gender equality by promoting the participation of women in the labour market, the equal sharing of caring responsibilities between men and women. Work-life balance remains a considerable challenge for many parents and workers with caring responsibilities, in particular because of the increasing prevalence of extended working hours and changing work schedules, which has a negative impact on women's employment. The aim is to verify the degree of protection of women and the balance between professional and private life (ex. care activities)1.
