Many of us – not only parents – are aware of the conflicts between job and family life. But is there also a positive aspect to parenthood? In her talk, professor Nina M. Junker discusses the concept of family-work enrichment and explains how the role as a parent can enrich one’s professional life and studies and which factors can have a positive influence on such enrichment.

The lecture is part of the RMU online talk series "Familie im Fokus – Vereinbarkeit in der Forschung“, in which the reconcilability of family life, studies and work is addressed from a scientific perspective. Over the course of the semester, researchers from the Rhine-Main Universities present their research results on various aspects of reconcilability.
