Transforming retirement
Managing the work-life roller-coaster
Things are Getting Better all the Time
This ar ticle addresses the dilemmas associated with continuing to interpret women's experience through the lens of a progress narrative that emerged to represent the aspirations of women during the peak of the women's movement. The central theme of this narrative is that gender will no longer act as a social constraint once women are recognized as workers as well as mothers. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Karl Mannheim and empirical dat…
Testing the Practicality of a Personal Digital Assistant Questionnaire versus a Beeper and Booklet Questionnaire in a Random-Time Experience-Sampling Method Context
The Random-Time Experience-Sampling (RTES) method has been used to examine people’s subjective experience of time in particular activity contexts as they are experiencing particular events at random times throughout the day. The method involves a signalling device that cues respondents (at random intervals) to evaluate and report their activities for up to 70 moments of time during a week. While many empirical studies have used electronic pagers …
The Taylorisation of Family Time
Research suggests that perceptions of time pressure are increasing and are particularly acute in households where both parents combine paid work with household and caring responsibilities. What specific strategies do working parents use to ‘manage’ the three-way juggling act of ‘his’ job, ‘her’ job, and family responsibilities, while still finding time for leisure and civic contribution? This question was addressed in a series of focus groups con…
The big picture
For at least the last three decades, Australia has been experiencing profound economic and social changes which, it is argued, have resulted in a widening gap in health opportunities and outcomes between urban and rural areas. There are important health policy implications associated with these socio-cultural and demographic changes, and they are particularly relevant to women, who are greater users of the health care system, both as patients and…
Melt Down’
There is considerable evidence that increased levels of consumption, 'time-pressure' and transitory employment in current post-industrial or 'late-modern' society have implications for health, well-being and leisure. In this paper we focus on the leisure experiences of young women, paying specific attention to issues that link women's leisure, identity, health and well-being in the context of late modernity. Data are drawn from the Australian Lon…
The town dictates what I do’
The contribution of leisure to individual health and well-being is well documented. It is also clear that patterns of leisure activity are differentiated by gender and regional differences, as well as those of age, class and ethnicity. This paper explores the leisure and well-being of mid aged rural women in a small Australian country town in the late 1990s, focusing on issues which have been identified in the Canadian literature as being signifi…
Happy hours
While the labour force participation of women in postindustrial western societies is increasing, study after study shows that women still take major responsibility for family work, whatever their paid employment commitments. However, it has also been shown that employment is associated with better health and wellbeing for women. In regard to optimal integration of work, well-being and family life, there is therefore a need for more fine-grained r…
The Measurement of Socio-Economic Status
Travel, Young Women and ‘The Weekly’, 1959–1968
In an attempt to understand the gendered nature of travel and the possibilities which travel has offered women to resist patriarchal dominance, this paper examines the phenomenon of the increase in young women’s travel during the 1960s. An analysis of the representations of women travellers in the Australian Women’s Weekly during that period was carried out, in order to explore images of travel and travellers which were available to young women a…
