Abstract
Can one advocate work-life balance outside of the efficiency framework? This paper is an attempt to provide a normative, non-consequentialist grounding for the claim that life-work balance is morally valuable and should be promoted. We claim that there is a prima facie duty not to hinder life-work balance, and we focus on the search of agents responsible for bringing it about. We come to the conclusion that the structure of responsibility allocation in this case mirrors that of other structural injustices in situations of bounded rationality, and we take the oppression of women as our model of the distribution of blame. Using Claudia Card’s ‘complicity’ criterion, we conclude that agents should gradually opt out from the oppressive scheme that renders work-life balance difficult, or even impossible.
