Working women face barriers in their daily lives that make achieving work life balance, therefore experiencing consequences in other areas of their lives. This study analyses six dimensions: reward, work-life time interference, couple relationship and parenting, physical and mental health care, household responsibilities, and leisure time. Specifically, to analyse these variables in women’s lives, a qualitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 880 women between the ages of 18 and 60 who currently or previously worked in the State of Guanajuato in Mexico. This study concludes that optimal time
management can mitigate these challenges; the key lies in sociocultural dynamics, adjustments in government regulations and organizational policies, plus the deconstruction of gender roles assigned to women.
