Article Synopsis
- Cross-cultural analysis of work-family conflicts (W_F_Cs) found that they were more common in Egyptian civil workers compared to their Japanese counterparts, with women in Egypt experiencing the highest rates.
- Health assessments indicated that Japanese workers reported poorer self-rated health overall, despite lower W_F_Cs, suggesting a complex relationship between work dynamics and health perception.
- Factors influencing W_F_Cs included longer working hours, family structures, and living situations, with significant associations drawn from gender and country-specific contexts impacting health outcomes.
