“…Tall fra SSB viser at én av fem sykepleiere slutter i yrket innen ti år (Skjøstad, Hjemås & Beyer, 2017). En årsak kan vaere deltidsarbeid (Ingstad & Hedlund, 2017). Mange deltidsstillinger påvirker kontinuiteten i helsehjelpen (Glavin & Gjevjon, 2016).…”

Sammendrag Hensikten med kapitlet er å beskrive hvordan forskning blir formidlet og anvendt, og hvilke faktorer som påvirker anvendelsen av ny evidensbasert kunnskap i klinisk praksis for å forbedre kvaliteten i tjenestene til pasienter og brukere. Viktige spørsmål i den sammenheng er: Hvorfor og hvordan formidles ny kunnskap? Hva påvirker anvendelsen? Hva betyr det å arbeide kunnskapsbasert? Hvordan skape gode fagmiljø som anerkjenner og anvender kunnskap fra forsknings-og utviklingsarbeid?

“…Surprisingly, working as a part-timer was more significant with women whereby working full time/long hours was more significant with men (Kjeldstad and Nymoen, 2012). Ingstad and Hedlund (2017) stated that the public sectors offered flexibility on the well-being of their employees and household rather than the private sector hence, they were given the choices to join the public sectors, whether as a full-timer or vice versa. This shows a big difference between the public and private sectors approaches towards employees in Norway.…”

Quite recently, working dual jobs among workers in Malaysia was permitted by the government on the grounds of earning additional income as a substructure for daily living, managing household debts and soldiering on towards achieving a sustainable future. The Malaysian Central Bank’s report indicated that ‘gaji kehidupan wajar’ or the living wage is needed for a household to afford a minimum acceptable living standard as well as a substance for a developing nation. Concurrently, the living wage also was seen to be a potential tool in reviewing current salaries relevancies for Malaysian employees. Assuming that the national living wage is yet attainable, working dual jobs were allowed to certain working sectors. However, the permission was bound to a specific act and circular since it only involved primary official jobs. Working dual jobs can be one of the initiatives to supplement everyday living for most families. This article selects 10-year official-based and academic-content literature that review the relevant concepts of working dual jobs from both international and Malaysian situations. The compilation of this contemporary reviewed reading materials may be useful for the academics and researchers to undertake further deliberation in this pressing socio-financial situation among Malaysian workers, particularly women. As further, this compilation of study may have significance towards the organisational context in the prevalence of women’s empowerment and work-life balance today.

“…Depending on the family's economic capability, mothers may to assign child care to grandmothers, relatives, assistants, householders, babysitters, and daycare facilities (Ingstad and Hedlund 2017;Samman et al 2016;Veramendi and Urzua 2011). This has implications for the quality of children's growth (Rizky et al 2017;Kusumawardhani and Warda 2013;Rahmani et al 2018).…”

The Effect of Working Mother Status on Children’s Education Attainment: Evidence from Longitudinal Data

2022

This study builds on the debate on whether mothers‘ employment in the early life of children bring positive or negative impact to children in later life. This is based on the fact that employment often result in reduced family time in which mother may not be able to take care of their children fully. This study estimated the effects of mothers’ employment status on children’s education in the short-term and in the long-term in 24 provinces in Indonesia. This study used data on children from three waves of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS): IFLS-3 (in 2000) aged 0–7 years, IFLS-4 (in 2007) aged 7–14 years, and IFLS-5 (in 2014) aged 14–21 years. The outcome variable was the children’s education and the variable of interest was the mother’s employment status. To overcome endogeneity, the analysis of the relationship between outcome and interest variables in this study was done by using the ordinary least square estimation (OLS) method and instrumental variables (IV). This study also used a cross-sectional design which estimated IFLS-4 (in 2007) and IFLS-5 (in 2014), separately. The main finding suggests that the mother’s employment status positively influenced children’s education both in the short- and long-term, as evidenced by the ordinary least square estimation (OLS) results. The instrumental variable (IV) estimate showed that decision-making was a strong instrument; and, it further revealed that mothers’ decision-making within the family affected their opportunity to work. This research could contribute to strengthening working mothers’ self-border and the concept of work-family facilitation in a family. It could also become a reference for stakeholders involved in the policy making to regulate policies which facilitate and support working mother to create ideal working environment. This condition is expected to supports children’s development as well as creating equity for working mothers in Indonesia.
