Summary/Abstract: Achieving work-life balance means that both family and work life function effectively and that they are based, among other things, on the principles of gender-equality and that state policies dealing with this area create environment which enables work to be adjusted to family duties and vice versa. Family policy measures should be focused on an important segment – protection of motherhood/fatherhood/parenthood, consider and use instruments such as compensations, various social contributions, appropriate measures of care for children and the elderly, as well as exercising rights based on contract on employment – different forms of leave and flexible working hours and other measures which enable employees to balance life and work.
