Abstract
Work and family balance can be examined from different angles, be it Philosophy, Psychology, Politics or Sociology, but in all of them there is a common topic: shared time. This is a moment in history when everything takes places in a hurry, when time is a seen as a commodity and everyone’s dayly routine is organised around the work timetable. Therefore, it is neccesary to develop strategies and cultivate values to not only balance work and family, but also to favour personal growth. From this point of view, work and family balance would be in the field of Ethics and it becomes something that can be taught and learnt.
The articles collected in this book show that, besides the neccesary application of appropriate public policies, balancing work and family implies learning to manage shared spaces and individual times, as well as being aware that balancing the different aspects of our life is, basically, a matter of a values scale.
