为了应对工作和母性的不相容要求，许多母亲寻求非全时工作。尽管许多母亲认为这是“两全其美”的选择，但学者们对兼职工作是否符合妇女的最佳利益存在分歧，因为它与家庭中的性别分工有关，因此与性别不平等有关。在本文中，我们调查了兼职工作对家庭性别分工的最意想不到的后果。我们对54位自愿从事兼职工作的母亲进行了深入访谈，探讨了母亲在从事兼职工作时如何体验家务劳动和儿童保育安排。在了解兼职工作如何塑造母亲的性别分工经验方面，三个因素最为重要：兼职工作的途径、工作地点和工作时间表。根据这些因素，非全时工作可能被认为是加强或破坏了性别分工，从而促进或破坏了家庭中的两性平等。
In response to the incompatible demands of work and motherhood, many mothers seek out part-time work schedules. Although many mothers consider this option “the best of both worlds,” scholars are divided about whether part-time work is in women’s best interest because it is linked to the gender division of labor in the home, and hence, to gender inequality. In this paper, we investigate the mostly unintended consequences of part-time work on the gender division of labor within the household. Drawing on 54 in-depth interviews with mothers who voluntarily work part-time, we explore how mothers experience household work and child care arrangements when they work part-time. Three factors emerged as most important in understanding how part-time work can shape mothers’ experiences of the gender division of labor: pathway to part-time work, work location, and work schedule. Depending on these factors, part-time work may be experienced as either enhancing or undermining of the gender division of labor, and thus, as promoting or undermining gender equality in their families.
