Abstract: In this paper, we describe a questionnaire
study exploring the everyday problems of working parents. A total
of 715 working parents rated the extent to which 27 problems affected
their everyday lives. The data were analyzed in terms of severity
of problem and differences in terms of gender, age of children,
and country of origin. The findings point to important areas for
the development of new technologies to support a person's whole
lifestyle.
