Financial Times, October 13.
Article on the changing dimensions of work and the tensions of modern work/life balance.

"The old model of male bread winner/non-employed wife meant tensions between work and family were almost non-existent, or ignored. Many people now find themselves in an uncomfortable place between the old world of traditional gender roles and a future in which fresh definitions of those roles will offer new flexibility and opportunities for fulfilment. It is important to align the issue of balancing work and life with the central vision of a company - those that do so successfully will reap the benefits of a more committed and productive work force."
