“…Dutch women's part-time work is on a fairer basis than in the UK, where women's part-time work is particularly poorly valued (Fagan, 2001;Grimshaw and Rubery, 2001;Plantenga, 2002). These policies should enable households to negotiate, adapt and share working hours more equally.…”

This article addresses some implications for gender equality and gender policy at European and national levels of transformations in family, economy and polity, which challenge gender regimes across Europe. Women's labour market participation in the west and the collapse of communism in the east have undermined the systems and assumptions of western male breadwinner and dual worker models of central and eastern Europe. Political reworking of the work/welfare relationship into active welfare has individualised responsibility. Individualisation is a key trend west − and in some respects east − and challenges the structures that supported care in state and family. The links that joined men to women, cash to care, incomes to carers have all been fractured. The article will argue that care work and unpaid care workers are both casualties of these developments. Social, political and economic changes have not been matched by the development of new gender models at the national level. And while EU gender policy has been admired as the most innovative aspect of its social policy, gender equality is far from achieved: women's incomes across Europe are well below men's; policies for supporting unpaid care work have developed modestly compared with labour market activation policies. Enlargement brings new challenges as it draws together gender regimes with contrasting histories and trajectories. The article will map social policies for gender equality across the key elements of gender regimes -paid work, care work, income, time and voice -and discuss the nature of a model of gender equality that would bring gender equality across these. It analyses ideas about a dual earner-dual carer model, in the Dutch combination scenario and 'universal caregiver' models, at household and civil society levels. These offer a starting point for a model in which paid and unpaid work are equally valued and equally shared between men and women, but we argue that a citizenship model, in which paid and unpaid work obligations are underpinned by social rights, is more likely to achieve gender equality.

“…Den kritiseres saerlig fordi den ikke har et kontekstuelt perspektiv og fordi den er statisk: Teorien gir lite rom for individuelle og samfunnsmessige endringer (Crompton & Harris 1998;Fagan 2001). Fagan hevder at en eller flere korte perioder med deltidsarbeid ikke er i konflikt med en sterk dedikasjon til yrket.…”

Dedikasjon og deltidsønsker blant politi og sykepleierstudenterPart-time preferences and professional commitment among police and nursing students Bente AbrahamsenProfessor, Senter for profesjonsstudier, Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus bente.abrahamsen@hioa.no Silje Bringsrud FekjaerProfessor, Senter for profesjonsstudier, Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus silje@hioa.no SAMMENDRAG Jobber kvinner deltid i noen yrker på grunn av strukturelle forhold som de møter i yrket, eller er kvinnene som søker seg til disse yrkene mindre dedikerte og mer orienterte mot deltidsarbeid? I denne artikkelen undersøker vi når forskjeller i deltidsønsker etableres blant politi-og sykepleierstudenter, og om det er de minst dedikerte som ønsker deltidsarbeid. Studien er basert på en longitudinell spørreundersøkelse hvor politi-og sykepleierstudenter er fulgt fra de starter på studiet og frem til uteksaminering (N=661). Resultatene viser at kvinnelige sykepleierstudenter er mer orienterte mot deltidsarbeid enn kvinnelige politistudenter. Forskjellen i deltidspreferanser er tydelig allerede når de starter på utdanningen, og dette holder seg gjennom studiet. Vi finner også at de som er mest dedikerte til yrket oftere ønsker å jobbe heltid, men forskjellen i yrkesdedikasjon forklarer i liten grad forskjellen i deltidsønsker mellom sykepleierstudenter og politistudenter. Studien indikerer at deltidsorientering og dedikasjon til yrket formes tidlig. Politi-og sykepleierstudenter er ulike allerede ved studiestart. Tidlige preferanser for deltid kan vaere med på å forklare hvorfor deltidsarbeid er mer utbredt i sykepleieryrket.Nøkkelord Deltid, dedikasjon til yrket, politi, sykepleier, student

“…Numerous studies found that working longer hours or longer days can seriously boost work family conflict (e.g., Shamir, 1983;Greenhaus et al, 1987;Carlson and Perrewe, 1999;Grzywacz and Marks, 2000;Nielson et al, 2001;Fagan, 2001;MacInnes, 2005;Boyar et al, 2008;Russell et al, 2009;Allen and Finkelstein, 2014). Moreover, work family conflict was found to be predicted by greater work demands (e.g., Yang et al, 2000), a greater time commitment to work (e.g., Parasurman and Simmers, 2001), rotating shifts (e.g., Shamir, 1983), higher organisational loyalty (e.g., Tenbrunsel et al, 1995), greater autonomy at work (e.g., Parasurman and Simmers, 2001), inequity rewards at work (e.g., Greenhaus et al, 1987), and working weekends (e.g., Shamir, 1983).…”

The main purpose of this research was to identify gaps in the existing literature on work family conflict from the past 30 years, and develop a viable research plan for further research. Research papers from peer-reviewed journals were collected from multiple databases including Proquest, Business Source Premier (EBSCOhost), Expanded Academic (Gale), Emerald, ISI Web Science, the Sloan Work and Family Research Network at Boston College, and Google Scholar. Full text papers published in English in the last three decades were included in this study. The collected papers were then classified and analysed using thematic content analysis. Factors influencing work family conflict, their consequences and the relevant constructs were systematically identified and summarised. The gaps in the extant literature from the past 30 years were identified and these were subsumed under a regional gap-theoretical cultural perspective, a measurement gap, cross cultural studies, organisational responsiveness, environmental factors and gender role theory. The present study serves as a springboard for future studies and theory building on the interaction between the work and family domains. This research is original in its nature as it has identified major strands of the extant literature on work family conflict and ipso facto it can guide research scholars towards the unknown terrain of the work family sphere. This research urges policy makers, practitioners and members of organisations to digest this knowledge and it aims to make them aware of the overarching area of work and family in the contemporary world. The major limitation of this study is the Tower of Babel Bias, to wit, research studies not published in English were excluded from this study.
