Bal­an­cing Par­ent­hood & Work/Study

The topic of balancing work/study and family life raises partly the same, but also very different questions for employees and students.

While for employees, for example, the framework conditions for organising working hours are of particular importance, for students the first question is often how to finance their studies with a child.
The topic of childcare or coming to terms with one's own role as a mother or father are, in turn, relevant for all parents.

For this reason, these pages contain information explicitly for students and employed parents, as well as relevant information in general.
