Women are making important strides in education, careers, and influencing the global economy, while at the same time nurturing families. This is a study to learn about the life stories of women globally. The Purpose of this study is to establish a global project of women's lives and is threefold:

  1. What experiences (identity, relationship style, drive and motivation, and adaptive) shape the life course of women that impact work-family life balance decisions?
  2. How do socio-demographic variables (education, age, country of residence, family composition, profession, marital status, spouse education and profession) influence work-family life balance decisions?
  3. What are the relationships between influencers (family background, mentoring and faith) and career goals on work-family life balance decisions?
