Résumé

ABSTRACT The present doctoral dissertation ¿ Analysis of the European Union (EU) rules and the case-law established by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in matter of work-life balance- has been written within the European Union Law.

Identifying the possible shortage of these tools, as well as identifying their possible vices and defects is absolutely relevant and can be really useful for society. Thus, a contribution here is intended in order to reach a better solution to combine the different aspects of the private life and, consequently, improve all those areas affected to a greater or lesser extent by the work-life balance.

Which ends are behind these regulations? Does the way this issue has been covered keep the traditional sexual division of labour between men and women?
