本文旨在调查弹性工作时间和远程工作如何帮助女性在产后维持职业生涯。尽管英国劳动力市场上的妇女人数有所增加，但许多妇女在分娩后大大减少了工作时间或完全离开劳动力市场。基于边界和边界管理理论，我们期望弹性工作时间和远程工作可以帮助母亲保持就业和维持工作时间。我们探讨了英国的情况，在那里，要求灵活工作的权利已经迅速扩大，作为解决工作与生活平衡问题的一种方式。所使用的数据集是了解社会（2009-2014年），这是一项大型家庭小组调查，其中有关于灵活工作的数据。我们发现一些有启发性的证据表明，灵活工作可以帮助妇女在第一个孩子出生后继续就业。更多的证据表明，使用弹性工作时间和远程工作的母亲在分娩后减少工作时间的可能性较小。这有助于我们理解灵活工作不仅是一种平衡工作与生活的工具，而且是在家庭需求增加时期提高和保持个人工作能力的工具。这对支持母亲的事业和加强劳动力市场的两性平等具有重大意义。
This article sets out to investigate how flexitime and teleworking can help women maintain their careers after childbirth. Despite the increased number of women in the labour market in the UK, many significantly reduce their working hours or leave the labour market altogether after childbirth. Based on border and boundary management theories, we expect flexitime and teleworking can help mothers stay employed and maintain their working hours. We explore the UK case, where the right to request flexible working has been expanded quickly as a way to address work–life balance issues. The dataset used is Understanding Society (2009–2014), a large household panel survey with data on flexible work. We find some suggestive evidence that flexible working can help women stay in employment after the birth of their first child. More evidence is found that mothers using flexitime and with access to teleworking are less likely to reduce their working hours after childbirth. This contributes to our understanding of flexible working not only as a tool for work–life balance, but also as a tool to enhance and maintain individuals’ work capacities in periods of increased family demands. This has major implications for supporting mothers’ careers and enhancing gender equality in the labour market.
