Abstract	This guide, which presents the findings of a 1994 survey of nearly 500 Canadian women who fulfill family and work responsibilities while studying in social work, nursing, and adult education programs, is designed to help employers, educators, advisors, and administrators deal with the increased numbers of female students attempting to balance family, work, and school responsibilities. Discussed first are the stimulating effects and challenges of balancing the roles of parent, employee, and student. The next two sections contain demographic information about the women and an overview of their attitudes regarding the helpfulness of support from various sources. Listed next are ways in which administrators and professors and advisors can increase formal and informal support for employed female students in the university and in the workplace. Strategies for employers to use in reducing their employees' role conflicts and encouraging them to continue their education are presented. Concluding the guide is a discussion of why cooperation within educational institutions (administrators, professors, students) and the workplace (employers, unions, employees) is to all parties' advantage. The bibliography lists 14 references. A French version of the guide is included. (MN)
