    Dear colleagues,

     

    I am hoping members of the GDO division might be able to help me and my co-authors locate the right data sources for a paper on work-life balance practices in Europe.

     

    We are using the Establishment Survey on Working time and Work-Life Balance and want to consider additional variables at the country level. We are looking for data on the 21 European countries included in the ESWT survey* to capture:

     

    1/ Family- vs. Work-centricity (importance of family vs. importance of work) - we currently use items from the World Values Survey but variance is too low.

     

    2/ Gender norms/gender roles – many indexes exist but none that we have identified covers a good number of European countries.

     

    * Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK

     

    Your help will be much appreciated and I will share a summary of the answers I receive.

     

    Thanks much and happy holidays!
