Abstract

This chapter focuses on the connections between work-life balance and gender role in Egypt and their vital role in the context of the Egyptian Government strategy for Sustainable Development. The chapter is divided into three main parts. The first part focusses on the contextual influences on gender roles and Work-Life Balance in Egypt. In the second part, we review the determinants, nature and consequences of WLB and identify potential benefits for Egyptian women and organisations. In the third, we draw conclusions on the challenges and opportunities and identify the need for further research to inform future policies and initiatives for achieving work-life balance in Egypt.
