Hours of Work and Gender Identity: Does Part-time Work Make the Family Happier? Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics ALISON L. BOOTH
JAN C. VAN OURS
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Taking into account interdependence within the family, we investigate the relationship between part-time work and family wellbeing. We use panel data from the Household, Income and Labor Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. We find that part-time women are more satisfied with working hours than full-time women, and that women's life satisfaction is increased if their partners work full-time. Male partners' life satisfaction is unaffected by their partners' market hours but is increased if they themselves are working full-time. Our results are consistent with the gender identity hypothesis. Copyright (c) The London School of Economics and Political Science 2008.
