English term

to reconcile these two areas continue to

English to French Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
The labour market still favours men over women and reflects and reinforces men’s and women’s perceived roles in the home, polarising existing divisions despite clear evidence that the lifestyle of the majority of women but also of many men no longer fits into these tight compartments.

For example, demand for more balance in work and family life is coming from women and men yet policies to reconcile these two areas continue to focus largely on the mother.

Par exemple, la demande d'un plus grand équilibre dans la vie professionnelle et familiale provient de femmes et d'hommes ou encore de politiques visant à concilier ces deux domaines ???? continuent de mettre largement l'accent sur la mère.

Quelque chose ne va pas avec cette phrase...

Merci d'avance

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@ Asker At least now with 'cependant' you have got the right idea for 'yet'; however, I wonder if your comma shouldn't perhaps comme before (rather than after) the 'cependent'. Also, note that 'largely' doesn't by any means imply 'uniquement' ('solely'), so you have changed the meaning there.

Correct? Par exemple, la demande d'un plus grand équilibre entre le travail et la vie de famille provient de femmes et d'hommes cependant, les politiques qui tentent de réconcilier ces deux domaines continuent à se concentrer uniquement sur la mère.

Trop long pour écrire dans la case réponse ... la demande... provient de femmes aussi bien que d'hommes ; il n'en reste moins que les politiques visant... ces deux domaines (= le travail et la vie familiale) continuent...

uniquement sur la mère

cependant, les politiques qui tentent de réconcilier ces deux domaines continuent à se concentrer uniquement sur la mère

deux domaines : work - faily life

ce n'est aps un "équilibre dans la vie professionnelle et familiale", mais un équilibre ENTRE work et family

yet, policies to reconcile these two areas continue to focus largely on the mother.

… la demande provient autant des femmes que des hommes. Or, les politiques visant à concilier ces deux domaines (vie de famille et vie professionnelle) sont toujours essentiellement orientées vers les mères de famille.

"Pourtant" me semble préférable à "cependant"
