This pioneering work aims at understanding the impact of
non-standard (evening, night, weekend) working time on family
cohesion, meaning parent-child interaction, partnership quality and
divorce or partnership dissolution. 'Out of time - the Consequences
of Non-standard Employment Schedules for Family Cohesion' is the
first work to treat this important topic in a cross-national,
comparative way by using data from two large comparable surveys.
The impact of work in non-standard schedules on workers can be
divided into individual and social consequences. Research so far
has shown the clear individual effects of these schedules, such as
increased stress levels and sleeping and physical disorders. There
is less clarity about social consequences. Either no or positive
effects of these types of schedules on workers and their families
are found, or a significant negative impact on the relations
between the workers and others, especially other members of the
family is shown in research results. This Brief compares the
Netherlands and the United States of America, countries that both
show a high prevalence of non-standard schedule work, whereas both
operate in very different institutional and welfare regime settings
of working time regulation. By combining both quantitative and
qualitative data, the authors are able to provide generalized views
of comparative surveys and challenging those generalizations at the
same time, thus enabling the reader to get a better understanding
and more balanced view of the actual relationship between
non-standard employment schedules and family cohesion.
