Ovaj rad se bavi dvostrukom ulogom žena u modernom društvu te povezanošću plaćenog rada žena s obitelji i obiteljskim odnosima. U suvremenom društvu žene zauzimaju sve veći dio tržišta te su sve više obrazovane, ali unatoč tome nisu pošteđene obavljanja kućanskih poslova. U vezi s time, žene obavljaju dvojaku ulogu kada se govori o usklađivanju poslovnih i obiteljskih obveza. Upravo zato je svrha ovog rada, kroz uvid u različite znanstvene članke, dobiti uvid u vrijednosti i preferencije žena koje su u isto vrijeme zaposlene i imaju obitelj te proučiti samu suštinu sukoba radnih i obiteljskih obaveza. Nakon pregleda znanstvenih članaka, zaključuje se kako su žene u modernom svijetu u istoj mjeri okrenute razvijanju svoje karijere te osnivanju obitelji, što pokazuje koliko su spremne primiti na sebe proces usklađivanja radnog života sa obiteljskim svijetom.

This paper deals with the dual role of women in modern society and the connection of paid work of women with family and family relationships. In a modern society, women are increasingly occupying the market and are more and more educated, but nevertheless they are not spared to do housework. In this regard, women play a dual role when discussing the reconciliation of business and family responsibilities. That is why the purpose of this paper is to gain insight into the values and preferences of women who are at the same time employed and have a family and to study the very essence of conflicts of work and family responsibilities through an overview of different scientific articles. After the review of scientific articles, it is concluded that women in the modern world are equally oriented towards developing their careers and establishing their families, showing how willing they are to take on themselves the harmonization of the working life with the family world.
