My diploma thesis analyses the problems encountered by women in their attempt to reconcile the responsibilities of family and work. In order to successfully harmonise these two areas of life women need to receive assistance from their employer. Women are frequently faced with the necessity of making decisions which give precedence to either family or career. It is of interest to chart aspects of the contemporary situation and so subsequently be able to point to the possibilities which can help to solve this pressing problem. Coordinating home and vocational life is a particularly relevant issue, and, if a deeper understanding of this problem can be allied to practicalities, it will facilitate making decisions concerned with career and raising a family that confront many qualified women. This diploma thesis firstly takes a theoretical overview of policies towards coordinating home and vocational life. The next section considers practical help available to address these issues through membership of the European Union. Part of the section concerned with practical matters is the results from processing information from a questionnaire sent to women who have recently returned to the work place after maternity and family leave, and who have experience of the difficulties of balancing domestic and professional responsibilities.
