- Nevenka ÄŒernigoj Sadar reports on Slovenia’s Young Mothers/Family Friendly Employment project, funded by the European Social Fund of the EU, aimed to “investigate the problems of young people and young parents looking for employment, learn about their workplace situations, sensitize the public about the problems young people, especially young mothers, have with balancing work and family life, inform employers and managers about work-family issues, and give suggestions for strategies to ease reconciliation of work and family demands.”
These as well as popular press articles from Korea, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States may be found in What’s New in Work and Family on our main site.
