Abstract
Changes are occuring in people’s life-cycle of work and non-work in cultures around the world. Individuals now define work and non-work in different and new ways and these re-definitions have resulted in a fundamental paradigm shift. Concepts like the “full-time working career mother” are out-dated in many cultures with the newly defined roles of fathers at home, fathers as care providers and mothers working at home for income. The traditional definitions of work and leisure are no longer relevant nor do they describe how people define themselves.
