Description of the research topic:
Work-life balance that was historically framed to support working women with caring responsibilities at home even today continues to follow the same gendered approach and is not adequate in addressing the conflict created due to the rapid changes in technology, nature of workplaces and their impact on the well-being of individuals. The employees today are overworked more than ever and the ever-unchanging focus on ‘caring’ has made their lives appear like it is just about work and caring for others. In light of this, the present study is proposed and aims to evaluate if the present caring policy approach is sufficient to strike a work-life balance or if something more individualistic that’s in sync with the present life situations is needed to resolve the issue. To address the research questions and objectives proposed in this exploratory study both quantitative and qualitative approaches shall be used. Questionnaires shall be used to conduct surveys and interviews with employees, employers, doctors, mental health professionals, and policy specialists identified through the Random Sampling Method; the results of which shall be analyzed qualitatively.
