Contents Summary -- 1. This study in the context of previous research -- 2. Aims and methods -- 3. Profiling families' work patterns -- 4. Are parental working patterns related to the amount of time that parents spend with their children? -- 5. How are parental working patterns related to the activities that parents do with their children? -- 6. Are parental working patterns related to how parents spend their time over the week (with a focus on non-child centred activities) and the time families spend together? -- 7. Atypical work and how children spend their time -- 8. How might any changes in working patterns - or policy changes - affect the lives of parents and their children?
Summary Using data from the UK 2000 Time Use Survey, this study examines workers of atypical hours, whether atypical hours are related to differences in the amount of time parents spend with their children and on leisure, and whether the parents' atypical working hours are related to differences in how children spend their time
