Résumé
Dans cet article, à partir d’entrevues menées auprès de 40 familles avec jeunes enfants, en France et en Suède respectivement, nous étudions l’effet des politiques sociales et des normes de groupe sur la conciliation des vies professionnelle et familiale. Les principaux résultats de notre recherche indiquent que les conflits de rôles sont plus fréquents chez les parents suédois que chez les parents français, ce qui vient appuyer la théorie de la tension de rôle chez les Suédois. Tandis que les Suédois déplorent manquer de temps pour soi, les Françaises, en particulier, se disent insatisfaites de la division des tâches ménagères entre partenaires. Les parents français sont plus favorables à la garde individuelle au foyer ou sur le lieu de travail que les parents suédois qui, pour leur part, préconisent les services collectifs de garde de l’État.
Abstract
This article investigates how social policy and norms affect experiences of the reconciliation of work and family life, using interviews with 40 families with young children from France and Sweden respectively. The major findings indicate that Swedish parents more often experience role conflicts and stress than French parents, thus giving stronger support for the role stress theory among Swedes. Swedes refer to lack of own time whereas particularly French women express dissatisfaction with the domestic division of labour with their partner. French parents favour individual childcare at home or care at the workplace more than Swedes, who emphasise public collective childcare.
