Abstract

PEREIRA, Edson et al. The support network in the conciliation of family and work: a systematic review of literature. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.2, pp. 556-579. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n2p556-579.

The conciliation between professional activities and family life is a challenge for everybody. In face of the formation of a family and, especially, with the arrival of children, role adjustments are necessary. Therefore, the goal of this study was to understand how the interaction of work and family has been described in the scientific literature, in the context of the support network in economically active couples with the arrival of their children. This is a systematic review of the literature, including articles published between 2011 and 2016. The results reveal that the woman continues as a "multitask" member, who shares her chores better with the man compared to a few years ago, especially in caring for her children. The support network is extremely important to the family in its constitution, which is represented mainly by the spouse, grandparents, and others. Coping strategies in the family/work and work/family conflict are discussed, along with the relevance of future studies with methodological rigor.

Keywords : Work/family conflict; Family support; Conjugality; Parenting.
