Children and Women's Hours of Work
利用英国家庭追踪调查数据，分析家庭形成和发展过程中女性和男性工作时间的演变，发现女性在第一个孩子出生后大量转向兼职工作，且性别工时差距持续存在。
The prevalence of women in part-time work continues to be a distinguishing feature of female employment in Britain. Using data from the BHPS, this article analyses the evolution of work hours for women and men during family formation and development. A substantial movement towards part-time work for women occurs with the first birth and continues steadily for ten years. The gender gap in hours subsequently diminishes but persists even after children have grown up. Births have little impact on men's hours, although there is some adjustment in the balance of work hours for couples following births and last school entry. Copyright 2008 The Author(s).
