Non-weekday work schedules are on the rise in the USA. Among non-standard shifts, the evening shift is the most common. Low-income parents are more likely to be required to work non-standard schedules. However, little work has been done to examine the effect of parental evening work on school-age children. Data collected in the USA in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) was used to examine the effect of parental evening work on the home environment for 1133 school children, aged 5-10 years. The Home Observation Measurement of the Environment (HOME) score used in this study has been shown to predict children's school, developmental and health outcomes. Having at least one parent work in the evening had a significantly negative effect on the home environment both for families living in poverty and those who were not living in poverty. The effect size, an 11% decrease in HOME scores when mothers worked evenings and an 8% decrease in HOME scores when fathers worked evenings, was of the same order of magnitude as living in poverty. As the USA and other countries have increasingly functioned as 24-hour economies, the demand for evening work has increased. Without changes in public or industrial policies, many parents have no choice but to work evenings, whether or not quality substitute care is available for their children, and whether or not they believe that the benefits of evening work outweigh the costs. While policies that provide parents with a way to see their children after school are important for all families, they are particularly important for working parents living in poverty and their children. Parents living in poverty often have the least choice about working conditions and the least resources available for finding quality substitute care when their work keeps them away from their children in the evenings. Horarios no tradicionales están creciendo en los Estados Unidos. De los horarios no tradicionales, el turno de noche es el más común. Los padres de bajo ingreso tienen la probabilidad mas alta de trabajar turnos no tradicionales. Sin embargo, hay pocas investigaciones que analizan las consecuencias de trabajo nocturno para los hijos de edad escolar. Se usan datos recopilados en los Estados Unidos en el 'National Longitudinal Survey of Youth' (NLSY) para examinar el efecto de trabajo nocturno de los padres en el ambiente del hogar para 1133 niños de edades 5 años a 10 años. La medida de Observación del Ambiente del Hogar (HOME), que se usa en este estudio, ha sido efectivo en pronosticar el nivel de desarrollo de los niños en sus actividades escolares y en su salud. Tener un padre con el turno de noche tiene un efecto negativo y significativo en el ambiente del hogar para las familias que son pobres y para las familias que no son pobres. La magnitud del efecto, un descenso de 11% en la medida de HOME cuando la madre trabaja el turno de noche y un descenso de 8% en la medida de HOME cuando el padre trabaja el turno de noche, es igual a la magnitud de vivir en pobreza. Cambios en la estructura de las economias de los Estados Unidos y otros países han incrementado la demanda por trabajadores del turno de noche. Sin cambios correspondientes en la política puéblica o industrial, muchos padres han tenido que trabajar de noche por necesidad sin la posibilidad de buscar cuidado bueno para sus hijos. La habilidad de tener tiempo con sus hijos después del día escolar es importante para todos los padres, pero es aún más importante para empleados de bajos ingresos y sus niños. Por lo general, padres de ingresos bajos tienen la posibilidad minima de escoger sus condiciones del trabajo, y frecuentemente faltan los recursos necesarios para conseguir cuidado de buena calidad para sus niños durante la noche
