Abstract
AWALI 2012 is the fifth AWALI survey, with previous surveys carried out in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Australian Work and Life Index (AWALI) survey measures how work intersects with other life activities, as seen by a randomly selected representative group of 2,887 working Australians. Alongside its usual assessment of work-life interference in Australia, the 2012 AWALI survey offers new insights on six particular themes: How women who work full-time are experiencing worsening work-life outcomes; how employees are experiencing high levels of work intensification; how employee requests for flexibility have changed since the Fair Work Act 2009 created new rights to request flexibility for some workers; how men request flexibility much less frequently than women, and are much more likely to have their requests refused; how the length of parental leave relates to work-life outcomes; and how working from home affects work-life outcomes.
