How Much Should We Work: Working Hours, Holidays and Working Life: The Participation Challenge. The Australian Work and Life Index 2010

The Australian Work and Life Index (AWALI) is a national survey of work-life outcomes amongst working Australians. It measures how often work interferes with responsibilities or activities outside work, how often it restricts time with family or friends, how often it affects connections and friendships in the local community, overall satisfaction with work-life 'balance', and how often people feel rushed and pressed for time.

Each AWALI survey takes a particular focus, 2010 focussed on the issues of future employment participation, generational differences and holiday leave.

The 2010 report shows that there are no signs that things are getting easier on the work-life front. A quarter of women working full-time and one fifth of full-time men are dissatisfied with their work-life balance in 2010.
