Abstract
The Australian Work and Life Index (AWALI) measures how work affects the rest of life for employed Australians. It measures how often work interferes with responsibilities or activities outside work, how often it restricts time with family or friends, how often it affects connections and friendships in the local community, overall satisfaction with work-life 'balance', and how often people feel rushed and pressed for time. The AWALI index brings together these five measures and scales them from 0 (the lowest work-life interference) to 100 (the highest work-life interference). In AWALI 2010, the national AWALI score was 43.0, very close to the previous three years.
