Working from home and health complaints
Background: With the increase in the prevalence of working from home (WFH), understanding its impact on health has become more relevant. However, the possibility that health effects may depend on the specific WFH arrangement has largely been ignored in research. Objective: The aim of this study is to offer a differentiated view of WFH by distinguishing between informal overtime at home and telework during recognized working time when assessing it…
Temporary Employment and First Births
In many countries, temporary work (including fixed-term and casual employment contracts) is negatively associated with fertility. Yet, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. This study investigates several mediating pathways (wages, financial satisfaction, short tenure, and subjective job insecurity) through which temporary work influences the transition to first birth in two contrasting contexts: Australia and Germ…
Working from Home, Covid-19, and Job Satisfaction
This article examines the impact of the growth in the incidence of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic on workers' job satisfaction. Using longitudinal data collected in 2019 and 2021 as part of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, fixed-effects models of job satisfaction are estimated. Changes in the share of total weekly work hours usually worked from home are not found to have any significant associ…
Working from home and bi-directional work-family conflict
ObjectiveThis study investigates the effects of working from home (WFH) on both work-to-family conflict (WTFC) and family-to-work conflict (FTWC) among parents, and whether family demands and the COVID-19 pandemic moderate these effects.BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic saw a marked increase in the incidence of WFH in many countries, which many argue has been beneficial for families. Convincing evidence in support of this hypothesis, however, is sc…
Does temporary employment increase length of commuting? Longitudinal evidence from Australia and Germany
On average, temporary jobs are far less stable than permanent jobs. This higher instability could potentially lower workers’ incentives to relocate towards the workplace, thereby resulting in longer commutes. However, surprisingly few studies have investigated the link between temporary employment and commuting length. Building on the notion that individuals strive to optimize their utility when deciding where to work and live, we develop and tes…
Working From Home and Work-Family Conflict
Working from Home and Work-Family Conflict
Longitudinal evidence on whether, and under what conditions, working from home is good or bad for family life is largely absent. Using 15 waves of data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey, this study investigates the association between working from home and work-family conflict among parents. Fixed-effects structural equation models reveal that more hours worked at home are associated with less work-family conflict…
Non-Standard Employment and Partnership Dissolution
This paper investigates the link between non-standard employment (NSE) and the risk of partnership dissolution, applying event history analysis to data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey for the period 2001-2016. It moves beyond previous studies by (a) considering a broader range of employment types, including fixed-term and casual contracts, temporary agency work …
W eekend work and work–family conflict
Objective This article investigates whether weekend work is associated with higher levels of work–family conflict (WFC) among parents, and whether resources like schedule control or presence of a partner mitigate this effect. Background The 24/7 economy requires many workers to work on weekends. Nevertheless, research on the impact of weekend work on families, and on WFC in particular, is underdeveloped, with previous studies relying on cross‐sec…
The Effects of Non-standard Employment on the Transition to Parenthood Within Couples
Eltern während der Corona-Krise
Die Studie gibt einen Überblick über die Größenordnungen der von der Schließung von Kindertagesstätten (Kitas) und Schulen betroffenen Elterngruppen sowie der Veränderungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in den Monaten des Lockdowns. Im Anschluss werden vier Themenbereiche, die während der Krise an Relevanz gewannen, näher betrachtet: Eltern in systemrelevanten Berufen, Homeoffice als Lösung, Arbeitsteilung zwischen Frau und Mann sowie psychologische Folge…
Temporary Employment Contracts and Household Income
Contingent Employment and Labour Market Pathways
The debate over whether contingent (and typically more precarious) employment acts as a bridge to permanent employment, or as a trap, has tended to focus on transitions rather than longer-run pathways. This approach cannot accurately identify indirect pathways from contingent to permanent employment or ‘trap’ pathways involving short spells in other states. It also fails to distinguish between those experiencing contingent employment as a ‘blip’ …
