Abstract: Over the past years, work - life balance has been considered important, for it has already become unattainable due to increasing pressure at work. Due to the awareness of the influence of the fast - pacing working environment, studies about work - life balance have been undertaken in a contemporary, global setting.

They prefer to draw distinctions between their job and personal lives. In contrast, other employees saw work - life balance as highly unrealistic and varied with the reality of their circumstances. Even older workers are more likely to pay more attention to the demands at work.
