Abstract
Work is an indispensable human endeavour whether it is being paid for or not. The human society believes that work is something one has to do which may be drudgery and not necessarily pleasurable. Gender plays an important role on work and family life of many nations. Family life in many societies has witnessed a lot of changes as a result of work. It is on the basis of this that attempt is made in this study to examine the connection existing among gender, work and better family life. The study was conducted among employees of banks in Ilorin metropolis in 2012. Primarily, questionnaire method was used to obtain data from the selected respondents while personal interview was adopted to supplement data obtained from the main research method. The major finding is that employees of banks varied in terms of demographic data and work has no relationship with better family life among employees of bank based on gender. Therefore, it is recommended that management of banks should encourage more role expansion for their workers so that employees can continuously maintain better family life irrespective of gender.
