Abstract

This research project examines people’s private life/work life balance, and how classifications race, marital, and gender contribute to the differences in people’s balance of the two worlds. I hypothesized that many people would feel an imbalance mainly because of demands from work. By surveying people randomly in a large city, I found that gender, racial, and marital classifications yielded the largest differences in how people perceived their own balance of work and private life.
