A two-income nuclear family is becoming more and more common in ASEAN. Employees or workers are constantly juggling their priorities and time to fulfill their roles as parents, sons and daughters, siblings and relatives to extended families. Everyone wants to do their best and yet, there is never enough time and opportunity.
IN addition, many in ASEAN countries have limited opportunity to jobs and income-generating avenues, especially women who are from low-income households, or are disabled, or are caregivers who cannot afford childcare or nursing care for dependents.
We want to promote work-life balance for happiness and self-fulfillment for all people -urban, rural and all income levels. This requires policy changes on labor and talent retention at government and corporation levels besides initiatives such as reducing mega traffic jams, building Smart cities that allow for wholesome and non-stressful living, and formulating national mechanisms to facilitate teleworking, job-sharing, flexi-hours and various forms of schemes to allow for productive fair treatment to work from home.
Such changes would not only produce a happy workforce and enable workers to spend more time with their families and fulfill their parental and filial commitments, but would generate much more income for a country's economy due to higher retention of employees - especially mothers.
We want governments and companies to form and incorporate employment policies that will allow teleworking, job-sharing, flexi-hours and various forms of working from home.
We want broadband and Internet costs to be reduced to facilitate working from home.
