Work-Life Balance: A Male Perspective

Listen Thursday, Jul. 2, 2009 at 1:06 p.m. in Economy, Society

For decades, the movement to strike a healthy work-life balance focused on women. But a new generation of young men is adding a Y chromosome to the debate. Millenial men now want to share both the bread-winning and the child-rearing, and in fact report higher levels of work-life conflict than do women. Kojo examines the concerns of young working men and looks at how employers are beginning to respond.
