Abstract :
Although gender equity was advocated,
women with at least one child had difficulty reconciling
work and family. If women with healthy children
experience conflict between their two spheres of life,
what about women living with disabled or sick children?
This article highlights the challenges, the different
individual strategies adopted and socially responsible
management practices that can facilitate the
reconciliation of work and private life to break the glass
ceiling of women with at least one sick or disabled child.
The results of an exploratory qualitative study of 15
women with at least one disabled or sick child show that
the challenges of medical emergencies, working hours,
working hours, daily stress, permanent insecurity linked
to the state of health, the education of its children, the
care of his children, the sharing of family responsibility
between spouses, care for close relatives, the possibility
of changing working hours, overload at work, young
children, unfavourable culture does not facilitate
conciliation.
These women use the individual strategy of social
support, redefinition of roles and temporal organization
to reconcile their professional and private lives. And
finally, the results show that his individual strategies are
not enough to reconcile work and family. To do this,
companies must put in place socially responsible
practices and management that can further enable them
to facilitate conciliation and be efficient at work.
