HERNANDEZ MONTANO, Alicia et al. Differences in life-job balance among women of Coahuila and Sonora, Mexico. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.1, pp.69-80. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2017.0001.05.

The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in the life-job balance of women in two northern states of Mexico, Coahuila and Sonora, in order to know the contrasts in the distribution and harmonization of tasks inside and outside the home. A scale was applied to measure life-job balance to 556 women in both states. Six dimensions were explored: gratification, interference, family and parenting, health care and responsibility at home and free time. The results indicate that the sample of Sonora has higher levels of conciliation. In general, the incorporation of women into the workplace generates personal rewards, however, this condition has not substantially changed the sexual division of labor, and women working their daily hours and then continue with care and family care tasks at home.
