Abstract

<p>Objective: This study aims to clarify the factors related to work-family conflict (WFC) among dual-earner couples raising infants and toddlers, with particular focus on social capital (SC).</p><p>Methods: A self-administered, anonymous survey was conducted among 720 families with children enrolled in nursery schools. The survey items included basic attributes, the WFC scale, SC, working environment, childcare environment, and attitudes toward the division of labor according to gender roles.</p><p>Results: A total of 127 households were included in the analysis. Multiple regression analysis revealed that husbands’ WFC was influenced by trust in other people, expectations and trust in relatives, expectations and trust in work colleagues, degree of socializing with neighbors, frequency of socializing with work colleagues, working hours, and traditional gender role attitudes. On the other hand, wives’ WFC was influenced by trust in others, expectations and trust in relatives, expectations and trust in work colleagues, frequency of socializing with work colleagues, and working hours.</p><p>Conclusions: Our results suggest that fostering and encouraging the use of SC is important to support measures to reduce WFC among dual-earner couples raising infants and toddlers.</p>
