Home In this chapter we examine work, family and women’s well-being in Malaysia. We begin by briefly positioning education as a prerequisite to women’s labor force participation and highlighting this development over the last few decades. We then discuss studies in the work-family literature from two fronts: one focusing on work and family life in relation to women’s well-being, and another examining work-life balance policies and practice.

These include addressing work-family (work-life) issues as societal issues rather than individual problems, providing better support for the implementation of work-life policies, and reframing the work-life framework by going beyond the family to include other aspects of life as well as other strands of diversity besides gender.
