This project uses two large-scale nationally representative datasets and advanced quantitative methods to investigate whether and how dual-earner couples' time-use patterns and well-being vary alongside the intersectional axes of parenthood, gender and social class. The project carries the promise of providing many critical contributions and implications. Firstly, it will provide new insights into how parenthood influence dual-earner couples' behaviours in paid work (e.g., work hours, work schedules) and domestic work (e.g., childcare/housework hours, division within households). Secondly, the project will explore whether parenthood improves or inhibits subjective well-being (e.g., job/life satisfaction, instantaneous feelings) and whether such associations are moderated or mediated by socio-demographic characteristics and time use behaviours. Thirdly, individual variations and spillover effects between couples will be captured. Fourthly, this project aims to give precise details on dual-earner couples' time-use patterns in private sphere and labour market using time diary data, which is a more reliable method for estimating time-use than stylised data, and reduces memory bias and systematic errors (Kan, 2008).

本项目使用两个具有全国代表性的大型数据集和先进的定量方法，调查双职工夫妇的时间利用模式和幸福感是否以及如何随着父母身份、性别和社会阶层的交叉轴而变化。该项目承诺提供许多重要的贡献和启示。首先，它将提供关于父母身份如何影响双职工夫妇在有偿工作（例如，工作时间、工作时间表）和家庭工作（例如，照顾孩子/家务时间、家庭分工）方面的行为的新见解。其次，该项目将探讨为人父母是否会改善或抑制主观幸福感（例如，工作/生活满意度，瞬时感受），以及这些关联是否受到社会人口特征和时间使用行为的调节或调解。第三，捕获个体差异和夫妻之间的溢出效应。第四，该项目旨在使用时间日记数据提供双职工夫妇在私人领域和劳动力市场的时间使用模式的精确细节，这是一种比程式化数据更可靠的估计时间使用方法，并减少记忆偏差和系统错误（Kan, 2008）。
