| 505 | 8 | |a This book looks at the effects of nonstandard work schedules on family functioning and shows how these schedules disrupt marriages and force families to cobble together complex child-care arrangements that should concern us all. The number of hours Americans work has received ample attention, but the issue of which hours-or days-Americans work has received much less scrutiny. This work provides a comprehensive overview of who works nonstandard schedules and why. The author argues that the growth in women's employment, technological change, and other demographic changes over the past thirty years gave rise to the growing demand for late-shift and weekend employment in the service sector. It is also demonstrated that most people who work these hours do so primarily because it is a job requirement, rather than a choice based on personal considerations. The consequences of working non-standard schedules often differ for men and women since housework and child-rearing remain assigned primarily to women even when both spouses are employed. As with many other social problems, the burden of these schedules disproportionately affects the working poor, reflecting their lack of options in the workplace and adding to their disadvantage. The book shows how such work arrangements have created a new rhythm of daily life within many American families, including those with two earners and absent fathers. With spouses often not at home together in the evenings or nights, and parents often not at home with their children at such times, the relatively new concept of home-time has emerged as primary concern for families across the nation | |

Presser Working in a twenty-four/seven economy New York Russell Sage Foundation ©2003 1 online resource (xiii, 267 pages) illustrations txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Print version record This book looks at the effects of nonstandard work schedules on family functioning and shows how these schedules disrupt marriages and force families to cobble together complex child-care arrangements that should concern us all. The number of hours Americans work has received ample attention, but the issue of which hours-or days-Americans work has received much less scrutiny. This work provides a comprehensive overview of who works nonstandard schedules and why. The author argues that the growth in women's employment, technological change, and other demographic changes over the past thirty years gave rise to the growing demand for late-shift and weekend employment in the service sector. It is also demonstrated that most people who work these hours do so primarily because it is a job requirement, rather than a choice based on personal considerations. The consequences of working non-standard schedules often differ for men and women since housework and child-rearing remain assigned primarily to women even when both spouses are employed. As with many other social problems, the burden of these schedules disproportionately affects the working poor, reflecting their lack of options in the workplace and adding to their disadvantage. The book shows how such work arrangements have created a new rhythm of daily life within many American families, including those with two earners and absent fathers. With spouses often not at home together in the evenings or nights, and parents often not at home with their children at such times, the relatively new concept of home-time has emerged as primary concern for families across the nation About the author -- Preface -- Introduction -- Who works nonstandard schedules and why -- The temporal structure of American families -- The quality and stability of marriages -- The gender division of household labor -- Parent-child interaction -- The complexity of child care -- Implications for low-educated mothers -- Summing up and moving forward -- Notes -- References -- Index Travail et famille / États-Unis Horaires de travail / États-Unis Horaires variables de travail / États-Unis Enfants / Soins / États-Unis Qualité de la vie au travail / États-Unis Arbeidstijd gtt Variabele werktijden gtt Gezin gtt Familienleben swd Arbeitszeit swd SOCIAL SCIENCE / General bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations bisacsh Child care fast Flextime fast Hours of labor fast Quality of work life fast Work and family fast Wirtschaft Work and family United States Hours of labor United States Flextime United States Child care United States Quality of work life United States Lebensqualität (DE-588)4034922-6 gnd rswk-swf Familie (DE-588)4016397-0 gnd rswk-swf Arbeitszeit (DE-588)4130587-5 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Familie (DE-588)4016397-0 s Arbeitszeit (DE-588)4130587-5 s Lebensqualität (DE-588)4034922-6 s 1\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Presser, Harriet B .
