Gender differences in child and adolescent daily activities
This study used 2009-2015 time-diary data to examine gender differences in daily activities among children and adolescents aged 10-17 in Finland, Spain and the UK ( N = 3517). In all three countries, boys were significantly more involved in screen-based activities and exercising and girls in domestic work, non-screen educational activities and personal care. Gender differences in socializing time were only significant in the UK, with girls social…
The effect of early career social capital on long-term income development in Finland
Purpose In this study, the authors examine whether social capital embedded in individuals' social networks is connected to employees' long-term income development in Finland. Design/methodology/approach Analyses are based on 25–35-year-old employees from the Finnish Living Conditions Survey of 1994 combined with register data on earned incomes from 1995 to 2016. The authors used questions addressing the frequency of meeting parents or siblings, s…
Child and Adolescent Time Use
ObjectiveThis study examined the differences in child and adolescent time use across the following three countries with distinct policy and cultural regimes: Finland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.BackgroundStudying children's time use cross-nationally is urgent to better understand how societal contexts influence children's daily lives in ways that affect their future lifestyles, development, and identity formation. Yet previous studies have lar…
Disconnected Lives
Discussions about social isolation have been extensive over the past few decades. A less sociable nature of social ties has been identified in Western societies. The phenomenon has been associated with demographic changes such as aging and living alone as well as changes in the use of new technologies. In this study we employ representative Finnish Time Use Surveys from three decades, 1987-1988 (n = 1887), 1999-2000 (n = 2673) and 2009-2010 (n = …
Towards formalisation
According to European comparative studies, organisational change and restructuration have been especially prevalent in Nordic countries. In particular, public-sector organisations have been under turbulence due to pressures for cost reduction and increased efficiency. Yet, not much is known about how these changes have affected the organisation of everyday work. Based on the three waves of European Working Conditions surveys (2000, 2005, 2010), t…
Abating inequalities? Job quality at the intersection of class and gender in Finland 1977-2013
Globalization with its many side-effects on working life is seen to pose accentuated risks especially for women and low skilled workers - resulting in increasing polarization of job quality. In contrast to 'universal theories', institutional theories claim changes in work life might vary according to the institutional and cultural frameworks which mediate the global pressures of change. This study analyses job quality trends in Finland at the int…
A Prospective Study of Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Mortality in Finland
Objectives. To estimate the simultaneous effects of social isolation and loneliness on mortality. Methods. We analyzed a representative Finnish sample (n = 8650) from the cross-sectional Living Conditions Survey of 1994, with a 17-year follow-up period (1995–2011), by using Cox regression models adjusted for several possible confounding variables. We examined the possible nonlinear threshold effect of social isolation on mortality. Results. The a…
Working-Time Regimes and Work-Life Balance in Europe
The organization of times and places of work are key elements of working conditions, and define employees’ possibilities for balancing work and other life spheres. This study analyses several aspects of temporal and spatial flexibility, and their associations with employees’ work-life balance. This study separates four dimensions of temporal flexibility and one indicator of spatial flexibility. The dimensions of temporal flexibility are the numbe…
Informal overtime at home instead of telework
Purpose – The authors aim to compare how formal flexibility, such as telework, differs from informal overtime work at home regarding the work-family interface. Design/methodology/approach – By using data from the Finnish Quality of Work Life Surveys from 2003 and 2008, the positive and negative measures concerning the work-family interface are examined through logistic regression analysis. Findings – Employees doing informal overtime at home are …
Knowledge Work, Working Time, and Use of Time Among Finnish Dual-Earner Families
The industrial working-time regime is dissolving-not dramatically, but rather as a trend. A new trend is that those in dynamic sectors and in a good labor market position work long hours: Demanding knowledge work appears to require the marginalization of private life. This study investigates the family situation of knowledge workers, the concentration of knowledge workers into family, working time, and use of time in different family types. The a…
The Institutional Context of the Quality of Life
In this chapter we analyse the institutional context in eight European countries by examining economic, labour market and demographic trends and changes in employment and family policies in each one. Institutional contexts matter. Male and female employees in Europe cannot escape the wider institutional environment and the cultural and structural conditions of their countries, either in their work or their private lives. Less supportive contexts …
Work at home and time use in Finland
This study examines the relationship between home-based work (HBW) and time use by comparing unpaid (overtime) home workers, paid (agreed) home workers and non-home workers. Especially, unpaid HBW was linked to the stretching of working hours and the reduction of free time
Work engagement in eight European countries
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the level and predictors of work engagement among service sector employees in eight European countries. Design/methodology/approach The work seeks to discover if job demands and resources, i.e. job autonomy and social support, affect work engagement in differing ways in different countries when socio‐demographical variables and work‐related factors are controlled. The study is based on a statistical…
The Experiments of Reduced Working Hours in Finland
This paper examines experiments of shorter working hours in Finnish municipalities between 1996 and 1998 in terms of the effects of the experiments on work–family interaction and which of the ways of reducing working time had the most positive effect. We analyse the experiment in respect of the Finnish working time regime, and in addition, from the perspective of community time. The analysis combines questionnaire and interview data. The results …
