“…We hypothesize that the focal associations outlined above may differ for mothers and fathers because of persistent gendered expectations in work and family spheres, as well as 8 women's more generous consideration of others' problems (Glavin, Schieman, and Reid 2011;Hochschild 1989;Milkie et al 2010;Rosenfield and Smith 2010). Our ideas here originate from theories on gender differences in self-salience and mental health (Kessler and McLeod 1984;Rosenfield and Smith 2010).…”

ABSTRACTWe examine the association between perceptions of spouse's work-to-family conflict, family stressors, and mental health outcomes using cross-sectional data from a sample of 1,348 dual-earning parents from a 2011 nationally representative survey of Canadian workers. Based on crossover stress theory and the Stress Process Model, we hypothesize that perceptions of spouse's work-to-family conflict are associated with family stressors, which in turn mediate the association between perceptions of spouse's work-to-family conflict and individuals' mental health. Using ordinary least square regression techniques, we find that perceptions of spouse's work-to-family conflict are associated with mental health outcomes, as well as secondary family stressors.Furthermore, the family stressors resulting from perceptions of spouse's work-to-family conflict facilitate family-to-work conflict among respondents, which further explains the association between perceptions of spouse's work-to-family conflict and mental health outcomes. We discuss the implications of these findings for theories of crossover stress and the Stress Process Model.

RESUMENLa ciudad ofrece variadas posibilidades para interactuar con actividades y personas. El binomio acceso-actividad resulta ser relevante de estudiar, en función del tiempo que los ciudadanos dedican a actividades próximas y no próximas. Este es el objetivo del estudio, cuya metodología aplica geografía del tiempo y cadena de actividades. La novedad del método es reflejar de forma más real el comportamiento tanto de los tiempos como de los espacios utilizados en la ciudad. El método se aplicó a la encuesta de viajes basadas en hogares de Barcelona. Los resultados muestran que las duraciones de las actividades próximas son menores que las actividades no próximas, lo que induce a pensar que la proximidad genera mayor número de actividades cotidianas, cambiando el paradigma de sustitución entre tiempo de acceso y duración, al de tiempo de acceso y número de actividades. La conclusión final es que la proximidad presenta un valor relativo, que va de una clara sustentabilidad ambiental, a una probable des-socialización del desarrollo de las actividades.Palabras clave: uso del tiempo, actividades, espacios próximos. ABSTRACTThe city offers many opportunities to interact with people and activities. The duo proximity-attractivity is relevant to study, under the approach of the time that citizens spend in such activities. This is the aim of the study, the methodology applied time geography and activity chain approach. The novelty of the method is the more realistically view of the behavior of the use of time and spaces in the city. The method was applied to household travel survey of Barcelona. The results show that the nearby activity durations are smaller than the no nearby. The proximity generates more activities in the daily activity chain, changing the paradigm of trade-off between access time and duration, with the trade-off between access time and number of activities. The final conclusion is that proximity has a relative value, from a clear environmental sustainability, to a probable de-socialization of activities.

“…Despite the changes in the family structures, the traditional gendered division of family labour and consequently the inequalities of household and parenting tasks have survived in many cases (Milkie et al, 2010;Takács, 2008). Child-rearing is still considered an inherently motherly duty as women are supposed to be more natural caregivers than men, even in those societies where the majority of women take part in paid work (Silverstein and Auberbach, 1999).…”

In this study, being the first Hungarian qualitative study devoted to this subject, we focus on the work-life balance situation of Hungarian women acting as main breadwinners within their family. The empirical base of our study consisted of 22 in-depth interviews conducted with Hungarian mothers of dependent children younger than 14, living in (heterosexual) couple households, who bring in at least 60 per cent of the total household earnings. We examined how the main breadwinner role might affect the gender norm expectations acquired during socialisation, the division of domestic labour and child care duties between the partners, as well as the internal power relations of the couple. According to our findings, various versions of work-life balance management could be identified even within our small-scale qualitative sample on the basis of two main dimensions. On the one hand, on the basis of our interviewees' accounts we examined whether the partners had similar role expectations in terms of egalitarian sharing of family related tasks or traditionally gendered role specialisation. On the other hand, we have also considered to what extent other contextual factors contributed to women becoming primary breadwinners, and whether these were perceived in terms of external constraints or preferred choices (or both). On the basis of our analyses we have identified four models of family relations in the context of primary female breadwinning: the traditional, the egalitarian, the externally forced role reversal and the consciously implemented role reversal models.
