This volume is the first publication in a series of research
reports being produced within the framework of a multinational
research project "Households, Work and Flexibility".
Individual chapters of the report (one chapter for every
country in the project plus an international overview)
summarize national debates over flexibility as well as
relationship between home and work.
In addition, the authors describe, where possible, the
contemporary discourse about flexibility in each country.
The countries covered are: three EU-members (United Kingdom,
the Netherlands and Sweden) and five pre-accession countries
(Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania).
