Parents with non-traditional work schedules often
face considerable challenges coordinating employment
with family routines. At the same time, the nature of
motherhood and fatherhood is changing and raising
children has become more time-intensive than ever
before. In this book, Margo Hilbrecht explores how
employed parents spend their time and the
relationship to time pressure, stress and work-life
balance. Drawing on a gender relations perspective,
she uses quantitative data to outline differences and
similarities among mothers and fathers, weaving
together household factors, employment arrangements
and broader socio-cultural influences. The findings
raise questions about reconciling parents and
employers needs with the rhythm of family life, and
why patterns of gendered behaviour persist despite
the obstacles and opportunities created by
non-standard or irregular work hours. The role of
leisure is highlighted as an important component of
work-life balance. This book is particularly useful
to researchers, educators, parents and employers
interested in gaining critical insight into the
effect of non-traditional schedules and
time-intensive parenting practices on parents lives.
