Abstract

A dual-earner family is a condition where the husband and wife work outside the home and also take care of the children at home simultaneously to fulfill the family's needs. Families in middle age undergo significant transitions, affecting both their external and internal dynamics. This research aims to analyze the impact of work-family conflict on the life satisfaction of working middle-aged families. This research was conducted using a purposive sampling with a questionnaire in Greater Jakarta. This study was conducted from July to August 2024. Data analysis was performed using SMART-PLS 3 to investigate the influence between variables. This research involved 99 women aged 46-50 years (middle age), and worked outside the home with productive working hours (7-8 hours a day). The results show that the majority of wives who work in middle age can handle work-family conflict and have good life satisfaction. The SEM analysis reveals that the higher the work-family conflict, the lower a person's life satisfaction in the family will be. This research strengthens the structural-functional theory which states there must be a homeostasis principal to maintain their respective roles in the family. This study implies that working families need to maintain a balance between work and life to enhance overall family well-being.

Abstract

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) continues to receive global scholarly attention. Adult attachment theory provided a lens to understand IPV in close relationships. This study explored whether childhood attachment persists into adulthood, how insecure adult attachment relates to IPV risk, and what additional factors influence this across domestic and dating contexts as a form of IPV. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles were retrieved from Scopus and Google Scholar using predefined keywords, focusing on studies published between 2015–2025. A total of 22 studies (N = 7211) met the eligibility criteria. The findings indicate while early attachment influence adult attachment, but the situational context and additional life experiences can shape the way individuals respond to their partner or the attached figure. In addition, the dynamics of the adult attachment, anxiety, and avoidance components are related to victims and perpetrators of violence. This review deepens the understanding of IPV through the adult attachment lens, emphasizing that attachment is not a fixed predictor. Future studies should examine other psychological and contextual factors and support the development of counselling and intervention strategies for IPV prevention.

Abstract

Family communication is essential for family life. This study aimed to determine the influence of family characteristics, coping strategies, and homemaker stress levels on family communication. The respondents in this study were housewives with children of a minimum age of junior high school. A total of 100 respondents were obtained using volunteer sampling techniques, of which 50 people were domiciled in villages and 50 in cities in the Bogor area. The results indicate that the education of husbands and wives and family income in villages are lower than those in cities. However, the number of children living in cities was more significant than that living in villages. In addition, the number of mothers in villages categorized as high was more significant than in cities. Likewise, regarding stress levels, the average stress level of mothers in villages was lower than that of mothers in cities. The average communication of mothers in villages and cities was higher for conversation-oriented communication than conformity. The results of the regression test showed that stress levels and coping strategies had a significant positive effect on family communication during conversations. In addition, coping strategies significantly positively affected communication orientation conformity. This implies that stress and coping strategies influence family communication. Thus, family conformity orientation communication must continue to improve to reduce maternal stress levels.

Abstract

This study examined marriage preparation among university students in Indonesia through Family Life Education (FLE). FLE was an educational program that aimed to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes to foster harmonious family relationships and prevent family problems. The objectives were to assess students' knowledge of family life, identify key materials in FLE, and explore preferred program formats. Research data were collected from 56 University of Education Indonesia and Bandung Islamic University students using an online questionnaire via non-probability sampling, specifically voluntary sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA to explore differences in knowledge, material importance levels, and implementation preferences based on gender and age group. The study revealed that students were exceptionally knowledgeable about family law, roles, responsibilities, parental responsibilities, family dynamics, and money management, deeming these subjects essential for marriage preparation. Students preferred flexible FLE implementation (in-person, online, or blended), a minimum duration of 24 hours, qualified speakers, and certification. No significant differences were found based on gender or age. Integrating the FLE program into the university curriculum was considered crucial for students to acquire comprehensive knowledge, skills, and attitudes for responsible married life and family responsibilities.

Abstract

Role balance is essential for dual-career mothers to perform optimally in both work and family domains.  The purpose of this study was to understand how dual-career mothers with children achieved work–family balance to promote family well-being. This study used a qualitative approach employing a phenomenological research design. The sample for this study was selected through purposive technique consisting of four mothers who have dual-careers, children, and are not in a long-distance relationship with their husbands. The data analysis technique used is interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The results indicated that there were five components that supported work–family balance among dual-career mothers, namely dual role balance, work–family balance motivation, family support, dual-career impact, and family well-being. A positive and supportive family environment played a major role in contributing to mothers’ success in achieving a balance between work and family. This study contributes to a better understanding of how dual-career mothers can manage role demands, with potential implications for enhancing family functioning and well-being.

Abstract

Urban issues, particularly in the context of university students, were shaped by factors such as the type of residence, mode of transportation, and social interactions, which influenced their daily lives and decisions regarding privacy, freedom, and convenience. This study explored how the type of residence influences the happiness of university students, focusing on students living with their families versus those living independently. Using a descriptive qualitative method with semi-structured interviews, four students aged 23–30 years were interviewed.  The data were analysed thematically, with the PERMA theory serving as a conceptual framework to understand the participants' experiences. Findings showed that students living with their families experience higher happiness levels due to stronger social support, which fostered positive emotions and a sense of meaning in their daily lives. In contrast, students living independently faced more challenges and limited social support, requiring extra effort to achieve acceptance and happiness. The key factors influencing happiness for both groups included the form of social support, engagement in daily activities, and the meaning attributed to challenges. Students living with their families received more support through direct interactions, while those living independently relied on support from significant others outside their residence. Despite differences in support sources, both groups demonstrated resilience and meaning-making strategies that contributed to their happiness. The study highlighted the importance of social support and individual coping strategies in shaping students' well-being.

Abstract

Entering marriage is a significant life decision that includes major transitions in one's life. The study investigated the perceptions of marriage among Filipino senior university students majoring in Human and Family Development at a university in the Philippines. It aimed to understand their definition and views of marriage, and the factors that influence their decision to get married. The study employed a two-step descriptive qualitative design, combining initial surveys to identify themes, followed by in-depth interviews for deeper exploration, and purposive sampling to select eight senior students aged 20-22 years old from the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 2019, whose responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that participants define marriage as a lifelong commitment to another person that is legally recognized and strengthened by intimacy. While they viewed marriage as a personal choice, they acknowledged its legal benefits, such as legitimate recognition of their children. Five key factors emerged in their decision to marry: influence of media, family pressure, financial capability, achievement of personal goals, and desire to build their own family. These findings reflect the negotiation between traditional family values and the modern aspirations of the younger generation in the Philippines. The study offers valuable insights for developing culturally-responsive relationship education programs for Filipino students and informing family-oriented policies that address the evolving perspectives of early adults toward marriage.

Abstract

This systematic review synthesizes evidence from 23 peer-reviewed studies to examine the multidimensional impacts of parental migration on the well-being of left-behind children (LBC). Given the rising global trends in labor migration, understanding its implications on child well-being is crucial for determining child protection frameworks. This review adopted the PRISMA included over 80,000 child participants from studies conducted across Asia, Eastern Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa. It identified five core domains of child well-being affected by parental absence: psychological-emotional health, social-relational functioning, educational outcomes, physical health, and subjective well-being. Maternal migration, inconsistent caregiving, and weak parent-child communication were consistently associated with poorer emotional security and academic performance outcomes. In contrast, stable caregiving by educated guardians and sustained emotional contact with migrant parents mitigated some negative effects. Mediating factors, such as caregiver quality, peer and school support, and gender dynamics, influenced how children internalize the migration experience. These findings consistently highlighted that the nature and quality of caregiving environments are critical in mediating the developmental risks associated with parental migration. This review underscores the urgent need for migration and welfare policies prioritizing family unity and children’s voices in decision-making.

Abstract

Gender inequality in domestic and emotional responsibilities remained strongly embedded in modern families. This study aimed to examine how domestic and emotional roles were represented and negotiated in dual-income families in Surabaya. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving five urban families selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected over three months through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation. The results indicated that domestic and emotional work was still dominated by women, with primary responsibilities largely assigned to them, while men’s involvement tended to be occasional and was socially perceived as voluntary. Subtle resistance strategies adopted by women, such as delaying housework or involving their sons, rarely led to sustained changes in the division of labor. The study concluded that efforts toward gender equality in the domestic sphere required gender-responsive policies, expanded paternity leave, and early gender equality education. These measures were essential to encourage men’s active participation in household labor and to foster more egalitarian family relationships.

Abstract

Muslim women workers in the education sector play a strategic role as educators of the nation's next generation and household managers, making the balance between professional and domestic responsibilities a crucial issue in human resource management. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the work-life balance (WLB) of Muslim women workers in the Greater Jakarta area by examining five key variables: religiosity, support from Islamic organizations, family support, work-family role conflict, and job demands. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey design and purposive sampling technique with 150 married Muslim women respondents working in formal educational institutions. Data collection was conducted using a five-point Likert-scale closed-ended questionnaire, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that religiosity and family support had a positive and significant effect on WLB, while work-family role conflict had a significant negative effect. Conversely, organizational support and job demands did not significantly influence WLB. These results indicate that Muslim women's work-life balance is more determined by the strength of religiosity and family support than by organizational factors or workload. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening religious values ​​and family social support in policies for managing the female workforce in the education sector.
