Request for 2014 to be European Year for Reconciling Work and Family Life

A declariation requesting that 2014 be the European Year for Reconciling Work and Family Life has been presented in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, initiated by Marian Harken ALDE Ireland, amongst others. COFACE, together with the European Alliance for the EY2014, is trying to bring attention to the fact that creating and promoting policies that enable the reconciliation of work and family life would be a win-win situation – both for individual EU citizens, as well as for the European Union as a whole, enabling women and men in all kinds of family models to exercise greater choice in balancing work and family life on the basis of their individual needs and preferences.
