For more than three decades, researchers have pointed out the importance of
work in adult life and its relationship with other aspects of life. It has been
argued that making work a number one priority over other aspects of life can be
detrimental to physical, mental, and social health. In regions, such as
Argentina, where unemployment is high and there are still differences and
preferences in the job opportunities that men and women have, it is important
to analyse work-life balance based on gender. We revise the literature that
analyses how employees are able to achieve meaningful balance between their
work and private lives and examine if women could achieve the same level of
balance as men.
