Abstract
This article examines women’s perceived work-life balance at different stages of family development. Defini-tions of the concept of balance are given, the current state of foreign and domestic studies on this topic is pre-sented, a model of the family life cycle is considered. The empirical section presents the results of a compara-tive analysis of the severity of certain balance aspects in groups of women at different stages of family devel-opment. The sample size of the study was 247 women. The study used the “Subjective Work-Life Balance” methodology by A.N. Mospan, E.N. Osin, T.Yu. Ivanova, et al. (2016), supplemented with a questionnaire to assess the demographic characteristics of the respondents (age, occupation, work experience, and presence and age of children). The results were processed using ANOVA analysis with post-hoc pairwise comparisons. The study revealed a non-linear change in the perceived work-life balance among women.
