The 'long arm of the job': Improving parents' jobs and child development

该项目旨在确定影响工薪家庭福祉和儿童发展的优先工作压力源，并制定创新的基于工作的策略，以减少工作父母的工作与家庭冲突。三分之一的澳大利亚父母称，工作和家庭之间的冲突很常见。这些都会影响生产力、家庭关系，并最终影响儿童的发展。有证据表明，尽管最近国家出台了政策举措，但雇主仍在努力实施家庭友好做法。利用国家队列数据和行业合作伙伴关系，本项目研究了解决这一紧迫的国家困境的方法，以使受父母工作压力影响最大的人——工作的父母和他们的孩子受益。

This project aims to identify the priority job stressors that impact working families' wellbeing and child development, and to generate innovative job-based strategies to reduce work-family conflicts for working parents. Conflicts between work and family are common in Australia, reported by one in three parents. These affect productivity, family relationships and ultimately, child development. Evidence reveals that employers have struggled to implement family-friendly practices despite recent national policy initiatives. Using national cohort data and industry partnerships, this project investigates solutions to this urgent national dilemma to benefit those most affected by parents' job stressors – working parents and their children.
