Australian women are working more now than ever before. Over the noughties, total fertility rates increased also, back to 2.0 children per woman from 1.7 in 2001. Women do around twice the unpaid work and care compared to men. Since 2008, Women’s Forum Australia's Reality Check: Work Life Balance project has undertaken extensive research – through a focus group, literature review and web-based survey with over 950 respondents – investigating the conflict between women’s work and life goals, impacts of conflict, and solutions for achieving better work life balance. We've asked: What are core goals that women want to acheive in work and in life? How and to what extent do these goals conflict? What are the personal, social and economic impacts of this conflict? What policies and community initiatives are in place in Australia to assist women in resolving the tensions? How could policies and initiatives be improved?
