Workers with home commitments get fewer opportunities

Toronto (12 April 2007) - Workers whose family commitments impact on their work get fewer chances to advance and have poorer relationships with bosses, says a study conducted by researchers at three Ontario universities.

Statistics suggest Canadians are having a more difficult time balancing work and family life. In 2005, a Statistics Canada report said Canadian workers spent 45 minutes less with their family during workdays than they did 20 years earlier.
