Abstract

The incidence of social, cultural, and normative factors on work/family conflict has been addressed internationally. However, there is no evidence for the case of Chile. This study analyzed the effect of attitudes towards the welfare state and different socio-labor factors on this conflict in 550 working parents with children under 14 in Santiago, Chile. The logistic regression analysis showed that difficulties in reconciling work and family life in the company positively influence the conflict. In addition, earning the minimum wage generates greater conflict, while care time has an impact on family-to-work conflict.
