    The "WORKING AND FAMILY LIFE OF ACADEMIC WOMEN IN TELETWORKING TIMES" is a research topic for the degree work that is incorporated in the Research Project "INTRALABORAL AND EXTRALABORAL TRAJECTORIES OF ACADEMIC WOMEN IN TELETWORKING AND PRESENT MODALITY; FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE". The research focuses on exploring the complex interrelationship between work and family life of academic women, a topic of growing relevance in the Ecuadorian and global context. This study acquires importance by examining how family responsibilities and professional demands impact the careers and well-being of these women. The methodology used within the research was the qualitative method, accompanying the descriptive level, opting for a documentary research modality with an inductive approach. The main sources of data collection were secondary, such as academic documents and institutional statistics, complemented by semistructured interviews with women academics. The results reveal significant challenges: disparities persist in the distribution of family responsibilities between genders, which has a negative impact on the career trajectory of women academics. These inequities highlight the urgent need for institutional policies that promote an equitable distribution of family and work burdens, as well as cultural changes to equally value gender roles in academia. In addition, the study shows that telework, while offering flexibility, also introduces additional challenges such as the difficulty to establish boundaries between work and personal life, exacerbating stress and overload of responsibilities. It is agreed that: the importance of implementing concrete measures to support the reconciliation of work and family life of academic women should be emphasized. It is recommended to develop inclusive policies that foster a work environment that allows professional development without neglecting family responsibilities. This includes the creation of support programs, such as child care and flexible hours and raising awareness of gender equity at all levels of education and work
