This article aims to analysethe adequacy of Spanish labour regulations with the EU’snormative acquis concerning work-life balance and co-responsibility—essential elements for the achievement ofequality in the workplace. To this end, detailed referencewill be made to the introduction of rights through thedomestic regulatory framework.
