Family-friendly work practices in Britain: Availability and perceived accessibility
利用英国工作场所与员工匹配数据，发现五项家庭友好型政策在工作场所层面的可得性较低，而员工个人感知的可及性更低，表明官方统计高估了政策的实际覆盖。
Using linked data for British workplaces and employees, we find a low base rate of workplace-level availability, and a substantially lower rate of individual-level perceived accessibility, for five family-friendly work practices' parental leave, paid leave, job sharing, subsidized child care, and working at home. Our results demonstrate that statistics on workplace availability drastically overstate the extent to which employees perceive that family-friendly policies are accessible to them personally. British workplaces appear to be responding slowly, and perhaps disingenuously, to pressures to enhance family-friendly work practices. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
