The term ‘rush hour of life’ refers to the phase between the ages of 25 and 45 into which life’s major tasks are concentrated – starting a family, building a career and, increasingly, caring for parents.
The Nordic Embassies in Germany, Population Europe and the Herbert Quandt-Foundation are inviting to an event on May 18th to focus on disparities in the Nordic countries and in Germany. When it comes to equality and gender issues, the Nordic countries are considered exemplary, parental leave for both partners is for example more customary.
How, then, does the work-life balance function in practice? What policy measures have proved effective and what could be done to slow down the ‘rush hour of life’?
Those and related questions will be discussed with researchers, experts and politicians from the Nordic countries and Germany.
Please register for the event by sending an eMail to info [at] nordischebotschaften.org.
