Work-family conflict was studied in the context of the transition to parenthood, parenting practices, the composition of working environments, scaling back, mental health, and fertility preferences.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Explicitly discussing family issues and their implications for work-family conflict is necessary to understand the interdependencies between family and work, and to pave the way towards a much broader understanding of the antecedents and consequences of work-family conflict in the context of family living.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Family Research}, author={Schulz, Florian and Reimann, Mareike}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={1002–1009} }
