Arbeitszeit: Verlängern? Verkürzen? Flexibilisieren?
Verkürzung, Verlängerung oder Flexibilisierung der Arbeitszeit stehen immer wieder im Zentrum der Debatten. Was wünschen sich Unternehmen und Beschäftigte? Wie kann Arbeitszeitpolitik die Schaffung neuer Arbeitsplätze und die Sicherung vorhandener Arbeitsplätze unterstützen?
Dieses Themendossier bietet Publikationen zur Entwicklung der Arbeitszeiten in Deutschland auch im internationalen Vergleich, zur betrieblichen Gestaltung der Arbeitszeit und zu den Arbeitszeitwünschen der Beschäftigten.
Publikationen zur kontroversen Debatte um die Einführung der Vier-Tage-Woche finden Sie in unserem Themendossier Vier-Tage-Woche – Arbeitszeitmodell der Zukunft?

Parental time and working schedules (2008)
Rapoport, Benoit; Le Bourdais, Celine;Zitatform
Rapoport, Benoit & Celine Le Bourdais (2008): Parental time and working schedules. In: Journal of population economics, Jg. 21, H. 4, S. 903-932. DOI:10.1007/s00148-007-0147-6
Abstract
"This paper investigates the effects of working schedules and of other characteristics (including family composition) on the time devoted by mothers and fathers to different activities with children in Canadian households, by using 1992 and 1998 Canadian Time Use Surveys. Switching regression models and models with selection allow us to simultaneously model labour market participation, type of work schedules and allocation of parental time. Working time has a negative and very significant effect on parental time. Hours worked during the day or at night exert a similar effect on parental time, but the impact of hours worked in the evening is by far larger. Time worked in the evening mainly decreases leisure and social activities with children." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Identifying the potential of work-sharing as a job-creation strategy (2007)
Skuterud, Mikal;Zitatform
Skuterud, Mikal (2007): Identifying the potential of work-sharing as a job-creation strategy. In: Journal of labor economics, Jg. 25, H. 2, S. 265-287.
Abstract
"Between 1997 and 2000, the Canadian province of Quebec reduced its standard workweek from 44 to 40 hours with the aim of stimulating employment growth. Unlike the European work-sharing policies examined elsewhere, the Quebec policy contained no suggestion or requirement that employers provide wage increases to compensate workers for lost hours. For this reason, among others, the Quebec policy provides a better test of the potential of work-sharing as a job-creation strategy. The evidence suggests that, despite a 20% reduction among full-time workers in weekly hours worked beyond 40, the policy failed to raise employment at either the provincial level or within industries where hours of work were affected relatively more."

Emulation, inequality, and work hours: was Thorsten Veblen right? (2005)
Zitatform
Bowles, Samuel & Yongjin Park (2005): Emulation, inequality, and work hours. Was Thorsten Veblen right? In: The economic journal, Jg. 115, H. 507, S. F397-F412.
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."

Stressed on four continents: time crunch or yuppie kvetch? (2003)
Zitatform
Hamermesh, Daniel S. & Jungmin Lee (2003): Stressed on four continents. Time crunch or yuppie kvetch? (NBER working paper 10186), Cambridge, Mass., 28 S., Anhang. DOI:10.3386/w10186
Abstract
"Social commentators have pointed to problems of women workers who face time stress' an absence of sufficient time to accomplish all their tasks. An economic theory views time stress as reflecting how tightly the time constraint binds households. Time stress will be more prevalent in households with higher incomes and whose members work longer in the market or on required' homework. Evidence from Australia, Canada, Germany, Korea and the United States corroborates this view. Adults in higher-income households perceive more time stress for the same amount of time spent in market work and household work. The importance of higher full incomes in generating time stress is not small, particularly in North America much is yuppie kvetch.' While time stress is most prevalent among working wives, a decomposition suggests that women would perceive more time stress than men even if both worked the same number of hours in the market and at home.This paper provides an answer to an important empirical puzzle in the retirement."

Working part time: by choice or by constraint (2001)
Zitatform
Barrett, Garry F. & Denise J. Doiron (2001): Working part time. By choice or by constraint. In: Canadian Journal of Economics, Jg. 34, H. 4, S. 1042-1065.
Abstract
"The selection of workers into part-time jobs and the wages they earn are analysed using the 1989 Labour Market Activity Survey. We focus on the distinction between voluntary and involuntary part-time workers, since involuntary part-time workers earn substantially lower wages than other workers. We find that the selection of individuals into involuntary part-time work is more closely tied to job characteristics than personal or human capital characteristics. The lower wage earned by involuntary part-time workers is largely due to differences in returns and selection effects, rather than differences in endowments." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This is the second ot two volumes of selected papers presented at the conference 'Changes in working time', which was held in Ottawa, Ontario, June 13-15, 1996. The chapters of the first volume focuse on the weekly hours that individuals work. The chapters of this volume study an expanded set of working time issues, which may be loosely grouped under two topics; working time over the life cycle and nonstandard work arrangements."

Abstract
"This is the first of two volumes of selected papers presented at the conference on 'Changes in Working Time in Canada and the United States', which was held in Ottawa, Ontario, on June 13 - 15, 1996. It reflects a renewed interest in recent years in the empirical evidence for changing labor supply - both hours of work and labor market participation - and the implications for employment, income support benefits, and taxation policies and programs."

Changing times: work and leisure in postindustrial society (2000)
Zitatform
Gershuny, Jonathan (2000): Changing times. Work and leisure in postindustrial society. Oxford u.a.: Oxford University Press, 304 S.
Abstract
"Time allocation, whether considered at the level of the individual or of the society, is a major focus of public concern. Yet there is surprisingly little substantive evidence of how individuals and societies spend their time, and of how this has changed in the developed world over the recent past. The book brings together, for the first time, data gathered in some forty national scale 'time-diary' studies, from twenty countries, and covering the last third of the twentieth century. It examines the newly emerging political economy of time, in the light of new estimates of how time is actually spent, and of how this has changed, in the developed world."
