Consequences of nonstandard work schedules for parent and child wellbeing: A multi-country study (NONWELL)

所谓的“24/7经济”的出现导致越来越多的人在非标准时间表上工作（例如，晚上、晚上或周末）。这些趋势极大地改变了家庭进程和相互作用。非标准的工作时间表会减少父母可用于子女的时间，损害父母的心理健康，从而限制了养育能力，削弱了亲子关系。新南威尔士对父母的这些负面影响最终会影响儿童的福祉。迄今为止，关于非标准工作时间表在不同情况下如何影响家庭福祉的证据有限。拟议的项目NONWELL将利用来自德国、澳大利亚、英国和美国的大规模纵向数据，研究非标准工作时间表对儿童和父母心理健康的影响。我们这个项目的首要目标是研究NSWS对父母的影响，特别是对他们的心理健康和福祉的影响。第二，我们会研究新南威尔士大学对家长的影响，会否及如何影响其子女的福祉。为此，我们将分析传播途径（中介因素），并确定儿童，家庭和工作特征，减轻或加剧NSWS对儿童福祉的影响（调节因素）。第三，我们将研究新南威尔士州对父母和子女福祉的影响是否在不同家庭政策和工作时间制度的国家之间存在差异。NONWELL将是这一国际范围的第一个项目，以阐明在不同的社会和经济背景下，新社会福利对家庭福祉的影响。

The emergence of the so-called “24/7 economy” has led to an increasing number of people working nonstandard schedules (e.g., evenings, nights, or weekends). These trends have dramatically altered family processes and interactions. Nonstandard work schedules (NSWS) can reduce the amount of time parents have available for their children and compromise parents’ mental health, thus limiting parenting capacities and weakening parent-child relation-ships. These negative impacts of NSWS on parents can ultimately affect children’s well-being. There is limited evidence to date on how nonstandard work schedules impact family well-being in different contexts. The proposed project, NONWELL, will examine the consequences of nonstandard work schedules for the psychological well-being of children and parents using large-scale longitudinal data from Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Our first aim in this project is to examine the consequences of NSWS for parents—in particular, for their mental health and well-being. Second, we will examine whether and how the consequences of NSWS for parents in turn affect their children’s well-being. To do so, we will analyze transmission pathways (mediating factors) and identify child, family, and job char-acteristics that mitigate or exacerbate the impact of NSWS on child well-being (moderating factors). Third, we will examine whether the impact of NSWS on parent and child well-being varies across countries with different family policies and working time regimes. NONWELL will be the first project of this international scope to elucidate the impact of NSWS on family well-being in diverse social and economic contexts.
