Resumen

CASACA, Sara Falcão. New labour dynamics and the challenge of work-life balance. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2013, n.72, pp.31-52. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2012722617.

Considering the recent labour market dynamics, this article explores the main patterns of women’s employment, including working time flexibility and the high incidence of temporary work in Portugal. It also stresses the main changes in working and employment conditions in the new service sectors (ranging from the high-intensive knowledge ICT to the call centres and the new retail sector), thereby discussing the implications for women in terms of the organisation of their family life. The main argument is that flexible working time schedules not only have ambiguous (and even contradictory) effects on gender relations; they also originate difficulties in work-family life balance and reinforce social inequalities among women.

Palabras clave : women’s employment; working time flexibility; work-family life balance; new sectors of activity.
