Abstract

We explore women's preferences for each of five work options when they have young children, specifically: staying home without a job, working part-time, a part-time paid job that can done from home, working full-time, and a full-time job that can be done from home. Using a nationally representative sample of Australian citizens, we find that most women prefer home-based work over conventional away-from-home options, rating home-based work an average of 16 points out of 100 higher. If they could follow their preferences, fewer would stay home without a job, fewer would work outside the home, many more would work part-time from home, and many more full-time from home. Structural equation analyses show that the strongest influence on these preferences is perceived conflict between a woman's career and her family life.

女性的工作偏好:居家工作的重要性
我们探讨了女性在有小孩时对五种工作选择中的每一种的偏好,具体来说:呆在家里没有工作,兼职工作,可以在家做的兼职带薪工作,全职工作,以及可以在家做的全职工作。通过对澳大利亚公民进行全国代表性的抽样调查,我们发现,大多数女性更喜欢在家工作,而不是传统的远离家的选择,在家工作的平均评分比在家工作高16分(满分100分)。如果他们能遵循自己的偏好,呆在家里不工作的人就会减少,在外工作的人也会减少,在家兼职的人会增加,全职工作的人也会增加。结构方程分析表明,对这些偏好影响最大的是女性在事业和家庭生活之间的冲突。
