Preferences vs Constraints Revisited: Multilevel Modelling of Women's Working Time Preferences in England and Scotland
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates determinants of the probability of preferring to work less hours among parttime and full-time working women aged 16 to 59 in England and Scotland in 2005-2006, against the background of the ongoing discussion about the role of preferences and orientations to work in women!s participation in the labour market. Theoretically rooted in a Bourdieusian tradition, it investigates the patterns of association between resources available to women as well as their constraints at individual, household, as well as local authority levels and their expressed preferences for shorter hours.
