You are in an archived section of the AIFS website
Having the time and energy to successfully combine work and family life can be a particular challenge for parents working long or non-standard hours. The author presents findings from a British study, Atypical Work Patterns and Family Life, which examined the consequences for family life when parents worked early mornings, evenings, weekends or shifts. Issues common to both British and Australian policy makers and working parents are discussed.
