Young Adults’ Relationship Happiness in England During Covid-19
Given the relevance of romantic relationships for physical and mental health, it is important to be attentive to how younger adults may have experienced COVID-19 and to explicitly differentiate between being in a romantic relationship and living arrangements (i.e. co-residing or not with the partner). Yet most research during the pandemic has focused on older adults, families, or cohabiting partners. This work investigates relationship happiness …
Mothers’ Nonstandard Work Schedules, Economic Hardship, and Children’s Outcomes
The authors investigate the moderating role of three dimensions of economic hardship on the relationship between maternal nonstandard work schedules (working evening, nights, or weekends) and children’s behavioral and cognitive outcomes at age five in the United Kingdom. The literature on the relationship between nonstandard work and child development in early childhood has not taken into consideration the potentially important role of families’ …
Supplemental nutrition assistance program and parents’ time investments in children
An emerging literature explores whether social policy programs have benefits to families and their children, above and beyond economic and human capital outcomes. We investigate whether the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), an anti-poverty program, is associated with the time that parents invest in their children. We assess the association between SNAP and parental time investments by leveraging the temporary expansion of SNAP ben…
Work hours, weekend working, nonstandard work schedules and sleep quantity and quality
These results should prompt employers and policymakers to recognise the need for rest and recovery, consider how the timing and scheduling of work might be improved to better support workers' health and productivity, and consider appropriate compensation for anyone required to work atypical temporal work patterns
Nonstandard work schedules in the UK
This article investigates the associations between nonstandard work schedules, parents’ mental health, and couple relationship happiness across childhood using the Millennium Cohort Study, a longitudinal, population-based data set of births in the UK. Using individual fixed effects models, we investigated the relationship between maternal and paternal nonstandard work schedules, examining both separate and joint work schedules and mental health a…
Making it work
Objective We examined associations between types of nonstandard work schedules among fathers, couple‐level work schedules, and fathers' parenting activities in infancy and middle childhood in the United Kingdom. Background An emerging body of literature has interrogated the implications of fathers' nonstandard schedules for their parenting. The evidence is mixed owing to the range of child ages investigated and country context. It remains unclear…
Educational gradients in nonstandard work schedules among mothers and fathers in the United Kingdom
Mothers' and fathers' participation in nonstandard employment across children's lives is not well understood in the United Kingdom
Long work hours, weekend working and depressive symptoms in men and women
BACKGROUND: Globalised and 24/7 business operations have fuelled demands for people to work long hours and weekends. Research on the mental health effects of these intensive temporal work patterns is sparse, contradictory or has not considered gender differences. Our objective was to examine the relationship between these work patterns and depressive symptoms in a large nationally representative sample of working men and women in the UK. METHOD: …
Internalising and externalising behaviour profiles across childhood
Race/ethnic inequalities in early adolescent development in the United Kingdom and United States
BACKGROUND: Comparative literature investigating race/ethnic patterning of children's health has found racial/ethnic minority status to be linked to health disadvantages. Less is known about differences during early adolescence, a period during which health outcomes are linked to later life health. OBJECTIVE: Using the UK Millennium Cohort Study (n = 10,188) and the US Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey-Kindergarten Cohort (n ~ 6,950), we examin…
Socioemotional wellbeing of mixed race/ethnicity children in the UK and US
Existing literature suggests that mixed race/ethnicity children are more likely to experience poor socioemotional wellbeing in both the US and the UK, although the evidence is stronger in the US. It is suggested that this inequality may be a consequence of struggles with identity formation, more limited connections with racial/ethnic/cultural heritage, and increased risk of exposure to racism. Using data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (n = 1…
Maternal Nonstandard Work Schedules and Breastfeeding Behaviors
Objectives Although maternal employment rates have increased in the last decade in the UK, there is very little research investigating the linkages between maternal nonstandard work schedules (i.e., work schedules outside of the Monday through Friday, 9-5 schedule) and breastfeeding initiation and duration, especially given the wide literature citing the health advantages of breastfeeding for mothers and children. Methods This paper uses a popula…
Math Achievement Trajectories Among Black Male Students in the Elementary- and Middle-School Years
In this article, we analyze the variation in math achievement trajectories of Black male students to understand the different ways these students successfully or unsuccessfully navigate schools and the school characteristics that are associated with their trajectories. Using longitudinal student-level data from a large urban US city (n = 7,039), we analyze Black male students from one cohort to identify trajectories. We find a lack of growth in s…
Parental nonstandard work schedules during infancy and children's BMI trajectories
Empirical evidence has demonstrated adverse associations between parental nonstandard work schedules (i.e., evenings, nights, or weekends) and child developmental outcomes. However, there are mixed findings concerning the relationship between parental nons
Women's Time Poverty and Family Structure
Discretionary time deficits are a result of a disproportionate amount of time spent in paid and unpaid work. Such time deficits are related to negative health outcomes. Discretionary time deficits may be influenced by family structure, because other adults can provide additional economic and time resources. Research to date does not examine differences in discretionary time deficits by family structure. Using the 2003-2010 American Time Use Surve…

Ethnic differences in children's socioemotional difficulties
This paper investigates ethnic differences in children's socioemotional difficulties and possible explanations for any observed inequalities. We used data collected from the fourth sweep of the Millennium Cohort Study when children were aged 7 years. We found that Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Black Caribbean children had significantly more socioemotional difficulties than White children. These differences were partially explained by the relative s…
