This article considers the impact of flexible working arrangements (FWAs), using the British Household Panel Survey and Understanding Society, 2001–10/11. Results of panel logit, ANCOVA and change-score analysis are indicative of positive impacts from use of a number of FWAs, including homeworking having positive effects for men and women on job and leisure satisfaction. However, findings reveal gaps in availability and use of FWAs, and highlight the gendered nature of flexible employment. Flexi-time, the most common FWA among men, has positive effects as it facilitates management of household responsibilities while maintaining full-time employment. Part-time and homeworking are also positive, consistent with men using FWAs with a greater degree of choice. Women more often are constrained in their use of FWAs, often into working reduced hours. Consequently, FWAs have negative impacts for some women, on job (part-time when used for extended periods, flexi-time), leisure (job-share, flexi-time) and life satisfaction (job-share).

Contingent (just-in-time, or gig) employment is on the rise in tourism and hospitality. People in contingent employment are not offered long-term contracts, but are called upon when needed. This chapter explores whether peer-to-peer accommodation networks are part of the problem or part of the solution. They create new challenges by increasing the competitive pressure on the established commercial sector, which leads to a reduction in jobs and a conversion of full-time to contingent employment. But they also offer new employment opportunities: without entry barriers, people can earn additional income by renting out spare space, and other opportunities – especially for a workforce trained in hospitality – are emerging as listing managers for hosts. These jobs may be particularly suitable to people traditionally struggling with full-time employment arrangements.

Abstract We investigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on gender disparities in three employment outcomes: labor force participation, full-time employment, and unemployment. Using data from the monthly Current Population Survey, in this research note we test individual fixed-effects models to examine the employment status of women relative to that of men in the nine months following the onset of the epidemic in March of 2020. We also test separate models to examine differences between women and men based on the presence of young children. Because the economic effects of the epidemic coincided with the summer months, when women's employment often declines, we account for seasonality in women's employment status. After doing so, we find that women's full-time employment did not decline significantly relative to that of men during the months following the beginning of the epidemic. Gender gaps in unemployment and labor force participation did increase, however, in the early and later months of the year, respectively. Our findings regarding women's labor force participation and employment have implications for our understanding of the long-term effects of the health crisis on other demographic outcomes.

British women's increasing levels of educational attainment have led to expectations of gender convergence in employment patterns and hence in lifetime earnings and pension income. However, it is not clear how far losses due to motherhood vary with educational qualifications. A polarisation in mothers’ employment is evident, according to whether women have high levels of educational and occupational capital and some writers have suggested that a young graduate mother is likely to maintain almost continuous full time employment, with minimal loss of lifetime earnings and no loss of pension income. This paper uses data from the British General Household Surveys from 1994-1996 to examine how the impact of childrearing on women's full and part time employment, earnings and private pension coverage varies according to educational level. Less than half of women with dependent children were employed full time in all educational groups, including graduates. Even among women graduates, only a third of those with a pre- school child were in full time employment. Motherhood substantially reduced women's earnings and private pension coverage at all educational levels, indicating the scale of losses in lifetime earnings and hence in private pension entitlements. The motherhood gap in private pension coverage was least for graduates and greatest for mid-skilled women but in view of the amount of the motherhood gap among graduates it is concluded that the pension protective effect of a degree for mothers has been overstated.

AbstractObjectivePrevious studies on maternal work hours and child diet quality have reported conflicting findings possibly due to differences in study design, lack of a comprehensive measure of diet quality and differing ages of the children under investigation. The present study aimed to prospectively examine the impact of parental work hours from age 1 year to age 14 years on adolescent diet quality.DesignMultivariate linear regression models were used to examine independent associations between parents’ work hours at each follow-up and across 14 years and adolescent diet quality at age 14 years. A diet quality index was based on the international literature and Australian recommendations, consisting of six food groups and nine nutrients.SettingPerth, Western Australia.SubjectsChildren (n 1629) participating in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study.ResultsCompared with children of mothers in full-time employment, children of mothers who were not employed in early childhood up to age 5 years had a higher average diet quality score at age 14 years, independent of maternal and family socio-economic status. Across 14 years the number of years the mother worked full time and increasing average weekly hours were associated with lower diet quality. Father's work hours had little association with adolescent diet quality.ConclusionsHaving a mother stay at home in early to middle childhood is associated with better diet quality in adolescence. Support may be beneficial for families where the mother returns to full-time employment before the child reaches 8 years of age.

The research study described in this article is an extension of a yearlong mixed methods study of eight co-teaching pairs (four English and four science) and their implementation of co-teaching during the clinical experience. A year after these eight pre-service teachers participated in the co-teaching research study while enrolled in a teacher education program, they were interviewed at the conclusion of their first year of employed teaching with the goal of exploring the impact that the co-teaching experience had on their development as a teacher. Findings reveal that co-teaching during the clinical experience provides an opportunity to shape pre-service teachers to be collaborative, reflective practitioners who seek out opportunities to collaborate and position themselves as lifelong learners. However, teacher education programs that implement co-teaching during the clinical experience have a responsibility to ensure that co-teaching occurs with fidelity and that pre-service teachers are supported to transition to full-time employment where the day-to-day co-teaching opportunities may be more limited.

ABSTRACTConsideration of the income and social security needs of informal carers has remained conspicuously absent from discussions about ‘community care’. Similarly, carers have been more or less invisible in the development of social security policies. This paper reports on a study of the financial circumstances of a sample of working age carers, who were living with and providing substantial amounts of help and support to a disabled person in the same household. The study highlights first, the substantial work-related costs incurred by carers with full time employment; and second the financial dependency of carers without full time earnings, on their spouse, sibling or on the person being cared for. The implications of these findings are discussed in the light of recent developments in social security policies.

Abstract Background Inflammatory arthritis (IA) predisposes to comorbidities (CC) including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, depression, infections, and cancer. CC are associated with higher mortality, poorer quality of life, and greater utilisation of health resources. Treating CC can be challenging and their impact is not addressed by current guidelines. The patient’s perspective of living with multiple conditions remains largely unexplored. We explored patient experience, impact of CC and polypharmacy on their quality of life and activities of daily living. Methods A mixed methods approach has been used. Patients with a definite diagnosis of IA with at least 1 Charlson comorbidity were invited to answer questionnaires. A sample of patients was invited for an in-depth qualitative interview which was analysed using thematic analysis approach. Results 146 patients from 3 centres were recruited. 82 (56%) were females. 58 (40%) had 1 CC, 62 (42.5%) had ≥2 CC, 21 (14.5%) had ≥4 CC. Most common CC was hypertension 76 (53%), pulmonary disease 49 (34%), and diabetes 34 (23.5%). 28 (19%) remained in full time employment and 19 (13%) were unemployed. 27 (18.5%) had to cut down hours because of illness. Disease duration was >10 years in 74 (51%), 5-10 years in 29 (20%), 3- 5 yrs in 21 (14%) and <3 years in 22 (15%). Self-rated severity of disease was rated as low (26%), moderate (42%), severe (24%) and very severe (5.5%). Awareness and impact of CC: 77 (53%) expressed that CC affected their health as much as their arthritis. No information on CC was provided in 27 (18%), minimal information in 35 (24%) and detailed information 69 (47%). 68 (47%) were aware that some of the comorbidities could be the result of the disease or medications and 72 (49%) weren’t aware. 82 (56%) needed help from their family members/carers and of those 30% needed help daily due to CC. Polypharmacy: 73 (50%) stated either they were not involved or ‘just a little’ in choice of medication. 23 (15%) needed medication for side effects. 116 (79%) stated that doctors discuss the risks and benefits at follow ups. 130 (89%) take arthritis and CC related medication regularly. Lifestyle advice: 106 (73%) stated that education on CC wasn’t offered. 24 (16%) were not offered smoking cessation and 32 (22%) declined smoking cessation clinics. 43 (30%) weren’t aware that obesity could cause joint pains or increase the risk of diabetes, hypertension or IHD. 95 (65%) said advice on benefits of exercise was provided. Light exercises such as walking for minimum of 30 minutes was undertaken by 75%: reasons for not exercising were pain, fatigue, lack of motivation, low morale and CC. Conclusion This novel study provides insight into patient experiences of understanding comorbidities in the context of inflammatory arthritis. CC have a large impact on their lives and current care does not adequately meet their needs with respect to education of CC, understanding the impact, shared decision-making and lifestyle advice.
