 abstract = {The article presents evidence from interviews in France, Spain and Poland to                    explore how individual actors make choices about their work-life balance. It                    shows that choice is a complex, contingent, and relative concept, which is both                    facilitated and obstructed by public policies and working regulations. Despite                    differences in national and sub-national policy contexts, institutional and                    cultural norms and expectations, the article draws the conclusion that                    family-friendly issues need to be mainstreamed and that the concerns of families                    should be added to those of the state, trade unions and employers on the agenda                    for negotiating work-life balance. It is also argued that the focus and scope of                    industrial relations need to be rethought to take account of the gendered nature                    of employment relationships.},
