The responsibility for the children becomes at the top of a person’s
responsibilities towards his family. In Turkey, often mothers fall outside of
working life to look after their children. Especially in single-parent
families, harmonization of work and family life is difficult and this leads to
either unemployment or inefficiency. Work-life balance means for employees
achieving a balance between job responsibilities, personal and family
responsibilities. Work life and family life’s mutual intervention to each other
reduces the quality of life. It also reduces efficiency and performance. For
this reason, in order to prevent parental unemployment, arrangements to ensure
the work-life balance can help prevent staying home to look after their
children. In this regard, the government, trade unions and employers are all responsible.
In solving this problem, we should look for different perspectives on flexible
working; revise family friendly policies at the community level and must make
new arrangements in this issue. This chapter informs about concepts of
work-life balance and work-life quality which provide work and employee’s
productivity. Maternity leave, paternity leave and parental leave issues in
Turkish labour law are examined in this study. This is followed by
implementation recommendations to policy-makers.
