| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine in a multivariate context the relevance of job and family characteristics as determinants of employment during nonstandard hours for men and for women. Results support the contention that the demand for employment during nonstandard hours and weekends is pervasive throughout the occupational hierarchy for both men and women and particularly for those in service occupations and in personal service industries. However, gender differences exist with regard to the role of preference for nonstandard work schedules when family variables are considered. Women are more responsive to caregiving consideration than are men when choosing or keeping a job. Marriage reduces women's but not men's probability of employment during nonstandard hours, and the presence of children affects women's but not men's employment schedule behavior. |
