El marco jurídico de la conciliación. Revisión de las políticas de conciliación en España desde 1999 hasta 2009

Resumo

Since the Reconciliation of Work and Family Life Act passed in Spain in an important legal framework is being developed for Life-Work Balance. . The incorporation of women into the labor market without abandoning the reproductive and family space, has led the European welfare states to legislate on conciliation to energize and relax both spaces. This study aims to describe chronologically the legal framework built in Spain since 1999 (Reconciliation Act) until 2009, two years after the enforcement of the Equality Act. Together with a review of existing literature on this subject, an analysis was made of a compilation of international the rules on life-work balance; in Europe and finally in Spain. In Spain, in particular, an analysis was made of the two most important rules on this subject: Law 39/1999, November 5, to Promote the Reconciliation of Work and Family Life of Employed Persons, and Organic Law 3/2007, March 22, for Effective Equality Between Women and Men. The aim is to describe the legal status of the problem and to analyze the measures proposed for its solution.
