Combining work, family and personal life

Successful reconciliation of work and family responsibilities is a foundation of decent work for women and men. Experience of most countries that find solutions to the work-family conflict and bring the national legislation and policies in line with ILO convention No. 156 on Workers with Family Responsibilities and ILO Convention No. 183 on Maternity Protection proves that. In their turn, employers and trade unions at their enterprises can do a lot for the workers with family responsibilities.
