Usage Note

Compatibilizar means to reconcile two things so they can coexist; compatibilizar la vida laboral y familiar ('to balance work and family life') is its most frequent collocation. It is a regular -ar verb. Unlike compaginar (to juggle, to combine practically), compatibilizar leans toward a structural or systemic compatibility, often used in policy and HR contexts.

Examples

"Es difícil compatibilizar el trabajo y la familia."

Natural Translation

It is difficult to balance work and family.
