    Presser, Harriet B., Janet C. Gornick & Sangeeta Parashar (2008): Gender and nonstandard work hours in 12 European countries. In: Monthly labor review, Jg. 131, H. 2, S. 83-103.

    Abstract

    "Labor force surveys conducted in several European countries in 2005 indicate high levels of nonstandard work hours, varying by gender; by contrast, nonstandard work hours for both men and women vary little by whether they have or do not have children." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Saffer, Henry & Karine Lamiraud (2008): The effect of hours of work on social interaction. (NBER working paper 13743), Cambridge, Mass., 25 S. DOI:10.3386/w13743

    Abstract

    "Over time, increases in hours of work per capita have created the intuitively plausible notion that there is less time available to pursue social interactions. The specific question addressed in this paper is the effect of hours of work on social interaction. This is a difficult empirical question since omitted factors could increase both hours of work and social interaction. The approach taken in this paper utilizes an exogenous decline in hours of work in France due to a new employment law. The results clearly show that the employment law reduced hours of work but there is no evidence that the extra hours went to increased social interactions. Although hours of work are not an important determinant of social interaction, human capital is found to be important. The effect of human capital, as measured by education and age, is positive for membership groups but negative for visiting relatives and friends. Also, contrary to expectations, there are no important differences in the determinants of social interaction by gender, marital status or parent status. Finally, a comparison between France and the US show that the response to human capital and other variables are much the same in both nations." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Did work-sharing work in France?: evidence from a structural co-integrated VAR model (2008)

    Schreiber, Sven (2008): Did work-sharing work in France? Evidence from a structural co-integrated VAR model. In: European journal of political economy, Jg. 24, H. 2, S. 478-490. DOI:10.1016/j.ejpoleco.2007.11.004

    Abstract

    "French employment increased significantly after a labor-market reform in 2000. This paper analyzes whether that development was driven by work-sharing (the mandated reduction of the workweek length) as claimed by the government. We use a structural VAR model in error correction form (SVECM) to assess the impact of shocks to the workweek length. It turns out that downward workweek shocks actually had adverse employment effects. We conclude that other reform components were responsible for the employment success in France, namely reduced non-wage labor costs and possibly higher firm-level flexibility of temporarily adjusting the workweek."

    Anxo, Dominique, Lennart Flood, Letizia Mencarini, Ariane Pailhe, Anne Solaz & Maria Letizia Tanturri (2007): Time allocation between work and family over the life-cycle. A comparative gender analysis of Italy, France, Sweden and the United States. (IZA discussion paper 3193), Bonn, 38 S.

    Abstract

    "This article analyses the extent to which changes in household composition over the life course affect the gender division of labour. It identifies and analyses cross-country disparities between France, Italy, Sweden and United States, using most recent data available from the Time Use National Surveys. We focus on gender differences in the allocation of time between market work, domestic work and leisure over the life-cycle. In order to map the life-cycle, we distinguish between nine key cross-country comparable life stages according to age and family structure such as exiting parental home, union formation, parenthood, and retiring from work. By using appropriate regression techniques (Tobit with selection, Tobit and OLS), we show large discrepancies in the gender division of labour at the different life stages. This gender gap exists in all countries at any stage of the life course, but is usually smaller at the two ends of the age distribution, and larger with parenthood. Beyond social norms, the impact of parenthood on time allocation varies across countries, being smaller in those where work-family balance policies are more effective and traditionally well-established."

    Calavrezo, Oana, Richard Duhautois & Emmanuelle Walkowiak (2007): The effect of working time reduction on short-time compensation. A French empirical analysis. (Centre d'Etudes de l'Emploi. Document de travail 88), Noisy-le-Grand, 20 S.

    Abstract

    "The short-time compensation (STC) program aims to avoid lay-offs in case of short-term downturns. According to insurance models, STC is an instrument of both job security and flexibility. This paper investigates the impact of workweek reduction to 35 hours on the French STC recourse. We quantify the average decrease in the STC authorized days with kernel matching estimators assessed on a balanced panel of French establishments. We highlight a substitution effect between STC and working time reduction (WTR) due to their internal flexibility role. As a consequence, the WTR policy refocused STC on its initial job security function." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Dupre, Michele & Michel Lallement (2007): Regulation of working time in SMEs of the information and communication technology sector in France. In: New Technology, Work and Employment, Jg. 22, H. 1, S. 66-82. DOI:10.1111/j.1468-005X.2007.00184.x

    Abstract

    "This paper focuses on the impact of the French working-time reduction law on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the information and communication technology sector. After a presentation of the main features of this sector, made up of a wide range of SMEs, the paper aims at describing how the actors have negotiated the application of the new legal framework at sector and company levels. The new working-time regulation outlines the status of high-skilled employees (cadres) as a very important conflict and negotiation subject." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Work-life balance, management practices and productivity (2006)

    Bloom, Nick, Tobias Kretschmer & John Van Reenen (2006): Work-life balance, management practices and productivity. London, 53 S.

    Abstract

    "A debate is raging all over the developed world about quality of work issues. As unemployment has fallen in the US and UK, attention has focused more on the quality rather than quantity of jobs. This has sharpened as women's participation has risen and issues of work-life balance and family-friendly policies have risen up the political agenda. This paper has tried to shed some empirical light on these debates. We characterized two opposing views of globalization entitled the pessimistic (or trade off) and the optimistic (or win-win) view. The pessimists argue that 'savage neoliberalism' encapsulated by tougher product market competition, globalization and 'Anglo-Saxon' managerial policies are undesirable for workers. Although these forces will raise productivity, they come at the expense of misery for workers in the form of poor work-life balance (long hours, job insecurity, intense and unsatisfying work). The more optimistic Human Resource Management literature argues that better work-life balance will, in fact, improve productivity (and even profitability) and employers are mistakenly failing to treat their workers as assets and implement better work-life balance policies. In short, we find evidence for a hybrid view between these two extremes. Using originally collected data, we show that we have a useful firm specific measure of WLB. The pessimists' argument that 'Anglo-Saxon' management practices are negatively associated with worse WLB is rejected - there is a positive association as suggested by the optimists. Similarly, the pessimists' theory that competition is inevitably bad for workers' WLB is also rejected: there is no significantly negative relationship. Larger firms - which are typically more globalized - also have better WLB practices on average. However, the view that WLB will improve productivity is also rejected: there is no relationship between productivity and WLB once we control for good management. Neither is there support for the pessimists' prediction that WLB is negatively associated with productivity. Finally, looking at US multinationals based in Europe we find an intriguing result that these firms appear to bring over their superior US management practices with them to Europe but then adopt more worker-friendly European work-life balance practices. Why US firms internationalize their management practices but localize their work-life balance practices appears to be due to a combination of regulations and social norms, an area of ongoing research."

    Bunel, Matthieu (2006): Les modes de flexibilite dans les etablissements francais. In: Travail et emploi H. 106, S. 7-24.

    Abstract

    "This paper deals with the French firm's organisational design practices, as well as the factors which determine organisational design by using a 6 000 firms representative sample drawn in 2000 (Acemo survey). The use of overtime and short term contracts are the most useful flexible practices. Econometrics tests analyse successively the probability to use one of this flexible practice, and the intensity of the using. I identify the variables explaining such choices and I point out the existence of complementary and Substitution effects related to the use of such flexible practices regarding the firm's working time reduction process and regarding the firm's modulation/annualisation workplace agreement. Econometrics tests suggest the intern/extern flexible practice choice or the quantitative/qualitative flexible practice choice is not related to demand characteristics as assumed by theoretical studies. For instance, the fluctuation forecast does not affect the flexible practice choice. Finally a working time agreement has a negative impact on overtime but does not affect the use of short time contracts." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Are the French happy with the 35-hour workweek? (2006)

    Estevao, Marcello & Filipa Sa (2006): Are the French happy with the 35-hour workweek? (IZA discussion paper 2459), Bonn, 26 S.

    Abstract

    "Legally mandated reductions in the workweek can be either a constraint on individuals' choice or a tool to coordinate individuals' preferences for lower work hours. We confront these two hypotheses by studying the consequences of the workweek reduction in France from 39 to 35 hours, which was first applied to large firms in 2000. Using the timing difference by firm size to set up a quasi-experiment and data from the French labor force survey, we show that the law constrained the choice of a significant number of individuals: dual-job holdings increased, some workers in large firms went to small firms where hours were not constrained, and others were replaced by cheaper, unemployed individuals as relative hourly wages increased in large firms. Employment of persons directly affected by the law declined, although the net effect on aggregate employment was not significant." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This article analyses the effects on dynamics of industrial relations in French public services of the hybridisation of public and private models of manpower management. The study begins with the case of the negotiation over the reduction of working hours in a local council. In order 'to modernise the public services', the town council organises an original procedure of dialogue with the objective to reconcile participate democracy and representative democracy. From a detailed chronicle, the research shows how adjustments of the volume of working hours are negotiated between employers, trade-union and employees. It also aims at assessing the impact of these procedural innovations over the process of regulation and the service dispensed to the public." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Unemployment and hours of work: the North Atlantic divide revisited (2006)

    Pissarides, Christopher A. (2006): Unemployment and hours of work. The North Atlantic divide revisited. (CEP discussion paper 757), London, 51 S.

    Abstract

    "The author examines the dynamic evolutions of unemployment, hours of work and the service share since the war in the United States and Europe. The theoretical model brings together all three and emphasizes technological growth. Computations show that the very low unemployment in Europe in the 1960s was due to the high productivity growth associated with technological catch-up. Productivity also played a role in the dynamics of hours but a full explanation for the fast rise of service employment and the big fall in aggregate hours needs further research. Taxation has played a role but results are mixed." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "The application of the reduction of working time (ARTT) constitutes a factor of development on a large scale for both individuals and organisations in French firms. This research attempts to improve our understanding of the ARTT agreements and to evaluate their impacts on the development of organisations, on attitudes and on behaviour at work; particularly as regards the implications for working time and non-working time. The methodology is based on a study of a single case using both quantitative and qualitative methods (interviews and questionnaires): The statistics approach enables us to measure and to analyse changes which appeared within individual behaviour undergoing the reduction of working time. The method of those interviews complements and highlights these statistics results. The field studied is a large insurance company in West of France where more than 1,200 employees have been working 35 hours since Spring 1999." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Auray, Stéphane & Samuel Danthine (2005): Bargaining frictions and hours worked. (IZA discussion paper 1722), Bonn, 36 S.

    Abstract

    "A matching model with labor/leisure choice and bargaining frictions is used to explain (i) differences in GDP per hour and GDP per capita, (ii) differences in employment, (iii) differences in the proportion of part-time work across countries. The model predicts that the higher the level of rigidity in wages and hours the lower are GDP per capita, employment, part-time work and hours worked, but the higher is GDP per hours worked. In addition, it predicts that a country with a high level of rigidity in wages and hours and a high level of income taxation has higher GDP per hour and lower GDP per capita than a country with less rigidity and a lower level of taxation. This is due mostly to a lower level of employment. In contrast, a country with low levels of rigidity in hour and in wage setting but with a higher level of income taxation has a lower GDP per capita and a higher GDP per hour than the economy with low rigidity and low taxation, because while the level of employment! is similar in both economies, the share of part-time work is larger."

    Abstract

    Die Studie stellt eine Analyse des Betriebszeit- und Arbeitszeitmanagements in sechs europäischen Ländern vor (Großbritannien, Deutschland, Frankreich, die Niederlande, Portugal und Spanien). Zusätzlich wurde Nordrhein-Westfalen in die Analyse miteinbezogen. Die Analyse basiert auf einer repräsentativen Betriebsbefragung. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass es keinerlei empirische fundierte Anhaltspunkte für die Behauptung gibt, in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland sei die Arbeitszeit zu kurz und zu unflexibel. Die Betriebe in Deutschland weisen mit denen in Großbritannien und Frankreich deutlich längere Betriebszeiten auf als die Betriebe Spaniens, Portugals oder der Niederlande. Dabei liegen die nordrhein-westfälischen Betriebe noch leicht über dem bundesrepublikanischen Durchschnitt. Die Befunde zur Konstitution der Betriebszeiten zeigen, dass die Untersuchungsländer mit den längsten indirekten Betriebszeiten auch die höchsten Anteile bei der Schichtarbeit aufweisen. Insbesondere in den britischen, aber auch in den deutschen Betrieben des Produzierenden Gewerbes sind die verhältnismäßig langen Betriebszeiten auch durch versetzte Arbeitszeiten gebildet. Im Dienstleistungsbereich haben Großbritannien, Portugal und Frankreich die längsten Betriebszeiten. In allen Untersuchungsländern müssen die Betriebe des Produzierenden Gewerbes auf marktbedingte Schwankungen häufiger reagieren als die des Dienstleistungsbereichs. In allen Untersuchungsländern ist die Variation der Arbeitszeiten das bevorzugte 'Bewältigungsmuster'. Die Beschäftigungsverhältnisse mit sinkenden Betriebszeiten sind in allen Untersuchungsländern zurückgegangen. (IAB)

    Abstract

    "We investigate the manner in which a desire to emulate the rich influences individuals' allocation of time between labour and leisure, greater inequality inducing longer work hours as a result. Data on work hours in ten countries over the period 1963-98 show that greater inequality is indeed associated longer work hours. These 'Veblen effects' are large and the estimates are robust using country fixed effects and other specifications. Because consumption inequality is a public bad, a social welfare optimum cannot be implemented by a flat tax on consumption but may be accomplished by more complicated (progressive) consumption taxes."

    Abstract

    "Under the impulse of the EU since the 1980s, European states have implemented policies which attempt to raise the level of employment among seniors. Despite the common gaol, national policies remain heterogeneous, as they are linked to existing systems of employment and of social protection. Policies range from those inspired by a liberal logic (the UK) to those of a universalistic logic (Sweden). Germany and France demonstrate the importance of the effect of institutional systems (competition and the substitution of mechanisms). The authors give details of the reforms carried out by France, Sweden, Germany and the UK, analysing very closely the two institutionalist approaches: the first of these in terms of local justice, which highlights the different dimensions of public policy choices, the second approach functions with the analysis of institutional change."

    Abstract

    "During a survey of signatories the Aubry agreements number I, 52 interviews were analysed with a specific program. They highlight the consequences of the negotiations, inside companies, of the application of the 35 hour week: these consequences bare specifically on inequality between men and women due, in part, to the commissioned representatives. Female signatories are most of the time commissioned by default, as opposed to their male colleges, who choose to be representatives. Commissioned women negotiate agreements which favour balancing personal and professional life, while commissioned men give this preoccupation less priority. Union representatives'strategies are closer to the commissioned women, and thus paradoxically contribute of gender inequalities, leaving domestic tasks and child care to women. While female union representatives are aware of the equality issues, but only the young male union representatives, intending to participate in childcare, can contribute to a positive evolution."

    Abstract

    Die Studie legt eine Sekundäranalyse der Dares-Studie 'RTT et Modes de vie' (Arbeitszeitverkürzung und Lebensweisen) vor. Durch eine textuelle Datenanalyse mithilfe der Software Alceste wurden fünf lexikalische Welten ermittelt, die Lebensweisen repräsentieren, die mit Arbeitszeitverkürzung zusammenhängen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Repräsentation von Freizeit kein exogener Wert ist, wie die mikroökonomische Analyse behauptet, sondern dass Freizeitpräferenzen von Arbeitnehmern aus ihrer realen Lebenssituation heraus gebildet werden. Freizeitpräferenz drückt sich niemals nur als Verfügung über rein quantitative Zeit aus. Drei arbeitszeitpolitische Orientierungen werden aus der Analyse abgeleitet: Leistungsorientierung und Ablehnung von Arbeitszeitverkürzung, Verkürzung der Arbeitszeit als Mittel zur Schaffung sozialer Gerechtigkeit und Arbeitszeitverkürzung zur Förderung des sozialen Lebens, vor allem des Familienlebens.
