More than six out of 10 mother's believed their work-life balance is just right.
For men, however, they appear to be less content with the balance.
The research was released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as part of its latest assessment of national well-being. The findings also come as both the British Government and the Labour party try to encourage more women to vote for them as they pledge to increase subsidised childcare.
There is also pressure on the government because the falling unemployment levels appears to be dependent on the increasingly large number of people in part-time jobs. However, the ONS report suggests a majority of women do not need full-time jobs or taxpayer subsidies to work longer hours.
It stated: "Over half of employees in the UK agreed or strongly agreed that they achieved the right balance between their work and home lives.
"Men are less likely than women to agree or agree strongly that they achieve the right balance."
Some 13% of women 'strongly agreed' their work-life balance was good, while 48% said it was 'fine'. A quarter admitted they were unhappy with how their lives were divided, with a further 17% disagreeing that the balance was right. Only 8% strongly disagreed, while 15% were undecided.
Looking at the men, 53% felt their work-life balance was 'good', while 31% didn't.
