Women and the Standard Workweek: Developing a Typology of Work Schedules in the UK
利用英国时间使用调查数据，通过序列分析识别女性工作时间的多种类型，发现标准/非标准二分法不足以描述女性复杂多样的工作经历，对劳动经济学和性别研究有参考价值。
When do women work? Which women work when? Much of our understanding of the temporal organisation of women’s paid work relies on oversimplified stylised estimates of duration and categorical indicators of work timing. Using United Kingdom Time Use Survey 2014–2015 workweek grid data and innovative sequence analysis, this research provides new empirical evidence by identifying a typology of women’s work schedules , including variants of and departures from the standard workweek. Furthermore, sociodemographic and job characteristics are found to be associated with different work schedules. A feminist evaluation of findings highlights the insufficiency of the standard/nonstandard dichotomy and presents new ways of describing worktime that better capture the complex and diverse experiences of women. It concludes that, while the standard workweek is not strictly identifiable as a type of schedule, it acts as an organising principle of worktime among contemporary working women.
