Abstract

RESUME :La participation croissante des femmes au marché du travail a contribué à faire de l’équilibre entre la vie professionnelle et la vie familiale un enjeu central dans les politiques d’aide aux familles. Si les formes publiques de soutien à l’articulation travail et famille ont été relativement bien étudiées, ce que font les entreprises est moins connu. Prenant appui sur quelques enquêtes récentes, cet article tente de comparer les pratiques des entreprises dans trois pays, l’Allemagne, la France et le Royaume-Uni en les situant dans leur contexte institutionnel pertinent. Il analyse les modalités et les raisons de la sollicitude des entreprises. Montrant que la gestion de la parentalité participe aujourd’hui de leur « responsabilité sociale », il interroge ses enjeux en matière de qualité de l’emploi.
