Working time is a crucial issue for both research and public policy. This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of both paid and unpaid work time, integrating a unique discussion of overwork, underwork, shortening of the working week, and flexible work practices. Time at work is affected by a complex web of evolving culture and social relations, as well as market, technological, and macroeconomic forces, and institutions such as collective bargaining and government policy. Using a variety of new data sources, the authors review the latest trends on working time in numerous countries.

The gradual reduction in weekly working hours in the first half of the last century, which culminated in the widespread adoption of the 'standard' working week by the 1960s, was grounded in a concern for health and safety and for the preservation of time outside of paid labour.Over the last few decades, however, this progressive standardization of

First Published in 2007. Lee, McCann and Messenger trace the theoretical background of the concept of working time before examining recent trends in working time laws in developing countries and countries in transition. The study then shifts its focus to developments in selected countries, considering both broad trends in working time at a national level and the structure and dynamics underlying these trends. The authors provide a remarkable set of policy suggestions that preserve health and safety, are ?family- friendly?, promote gender equality, enhance productivity and facilitate workers? choice and influence over their working hours. This book will be of great interest to policy-makers engaged with working conditions or health and safety, labour market experts, trade union leaders and workers? organizations, as well as academics and researchers in the fields of industrial relations, labour economics and labour law.

Including international comparative analysis alongside national case studies, this volume offers a wealth of information on the new trends which have emerged over the past decades - all of which were discussed at the recent 9th International Symposium on Working Time, Paris (2004). It looks at the increasing use of results-based employment relationships for managers and professionals, and the increasing fragmentation of time to more closely tailor staffing needs to customer requirements (e.g., short-hours, part-time work). Moreover, as operating/opening hours rapidly expand toward a 24-hour and 7-day economy, the book considers how this has resulted in a growing diversification, decentralization, and individualization of working hours, as well as an increasing tension between enterprises' business requirements and workers' needs and preferences regarding their hours. This new reality has raised some other challenging issues as well and the volume addresses those such as increasing employment insecurity and instability, time-related social inequalities, particularly in relation to gender, workers' ability to balance their paid work with their personal lives, and even the synchronization of working hours with social times, such as community activities.

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Dresden, language: English, abstract: Is part-time work the key to happier families? Empirical findings on job-satisfaction and personal happiness of part-time workers. Over the last decades, there has been a large increase of women in jobs and hence an increase in dual earner households. Consequently, a significantly higher amount of stress and pressure on men and women has been observed as it is difficult to combine the duties at work and at home which can reduce the overall quality of life and threat the work-life balance. For many people part-time work can be a solution to this problem especially in industrial nations. By definition, an employee works part-time if he regularly works fewer hours than a comparable full-time employee. The number of hours varies from state to state and institution to institution. However, there has been an increase in part-time work also in traditionally full-time professions. In Europe about 32% of all women and 8% of men work part-time, though this rate is lowest in eastern countries and highest in northern and western countries. In the USA about 23% of employees work part-time. But does part-time employment really increase the personal and work satisfaction? Why is the satisfaction higher or lower and what are benefits and disadvantages of part-time work? Moreover, what determines the satisfaction in part-time arrangements apart from influences of work and personal life?

First published in 1985, this book examines the major components of working time from an international perspective, considering the individual aspects of working time, with particular emphasis on the argument that work should be shared to alleviate unemployment and the case for further increasing the flexibility and choice in working arrangements. Paul Blyton reviews working time since the Industrial Revolution, when a strict time-frame was first imposed on workers, and the growth in work-sharing, flexitime, part-time working and changes to the retirement age.

This volume comprises the papers and debates of the second France/ILO Symposium on the future of work, employment and social protection. Reflecting the aim of the Symposium itself, the book provides in-depth reflections on work, employment and social protection. Designed to be more than an account of the discussions, this book is a useful tool for all those interested in labour market transition and the increasing importance of female labour for the future of the labour markets, particularly in the developed world. The book discusses the need for more family friendly policies and a more radical policy of equality between the sexes. The legal dimensions of labour market change are also debated and the book explores the positive and negative sides of globalization and its links with technological change.

Work Time is a sociological overview of a complex web of relations that shapes much of our experience of work and life yet often goes without critical examination. Cynthia Negrey examines work time past and present, exploring structural economic change and the gender division of labor to ask: what are the historical, cultural, public policy, and business sources of current work-time practices? Topics addressed include work-time reduction in the US culminating in the 40-hour statute of 1938, recent trends in annual and weekly hours, overtime, part-time work, temporary employment, work-family integration, and international comparisons. She focuses on the US in a global context and explores how a new political economy of work time is taking shape. This book brings together existing knowledge from sociology, anthropology, history, labor economics, and family studies to answer its central question and will change the way upper-level students think about the time we devote to work.
