Collection description

This PhD study examined how gender influences experiences of work-life balance and its connections to health among workers in non-professional jobs. The study used a qualitative dataset consisting of 40 semi-structured interviews with women and men in administrative, technical, and manual roles across multiple UK cities. The sample included full-time and part-time workers, individuals with additional employment or further education, and participants diverse in age and family situation. The dataset captures participants’ narratives about paid work, family, and leisure, providing rich qualitative insights into how gender and job type shape experiences of work-life balance and related stress.
