主要的人口趋势正在影响美国员工的工作时间表，可能会对健康和生活质量产生影响。这些趋势包括长时间工作，至少对某些员工群体来说是如此，以及美国和其他国家越来越多的员工从事非标准工作时间表。本章回顾了经验文献，这些文献将工作时数以及个人和夫妇一级的工作时数分布与各种结果（横截面和纵向）联系起来。此外，由于大多数美国工人生活在二元结构中（Jacobs & Gerson（2004））。时间鸿沟：工作、家庭和性别不平等。剑桥，MA：哈佛大学出版社），主要关注的是工作时间对雇员的配偶以及对雇员的影响。报告还指出，工作时间与成果之间的关系在有子女的单身就业妇女中可能有所不同。数据来自我的研究团队进行的两项新研究，以填补一些关键的知识空白。最后，我提出了一些未来研究的方向。
Major demographic trends are affecting the work schedules of U.S. employees with likely consequences for health and quality-of-life outcomes. These trends include long work hours, at least for some groups of employees, and an increasing proportion of employees in the U.S. and other countries who are working nonstandard work schedules. This chapter contains a review of the empirical literature linking the number of hours worked and the distribution of those hours at the individual and couple level to a variety of outcomes, cross-sectionally and longitudinally. In addition, because the majority of U.S. workers live in dyads (Jacobs & Gerson (2004). The time divide: Work, family and gender inequality. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press), major attention is given to the impact of work hours on the employee's spouse as well as on the employee. It is also noted that the relationship between work hours and outcomes might be different among employed single women with children. Data are presented from two new studies conducted by my research team to fill some of the critical knowledge gaps. Finally, I suggest some directions for future research.
