abstract: 'Occupationally-differentiated patterns of paid work arrangements help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shape the extent to which mothers of children under the age of 16 have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access to both career and caring security (stable paid jobs with career
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prospects that also guarantee the ongoing capacity to provide and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arrange high-quality care for children). Five sets of conditions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
critical to mothers'' work and caring security are: contracts providing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
two-way mobility between full-time and part-time work; actual hours
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
worked; work scheduling; work location; and contractual security.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Occupations can be clustered into `shapes'', based on the relative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mother-friendliness of different ways in which they combine these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions. Some shapes provide both employment security and caring
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
security; others involve types of `flexibility focusing a trade-off
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between the two types of security. Data for 64 occupations, taken from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
early waves of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(HILDA) Survey, were used to identify statistical norms for key aspects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of each employment condition, and also the strength of these norms -
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that is, how flexible they were, for better or worse. These occupational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
norms and strengths were assumed to reflect regulatory standards or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
commonly accepted organisational practices. The 64 occupations could be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
grouped into five shapes that were associated with different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concentrations of mothers. Occupational `shapes'' may thus act as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers or enablers to mothers'' labour market transitions. They may
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tend to exclude mothers by denying caring security; allow employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance based on a trade between caring and career security; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enable full occupational integration by providing both forms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
security. The concept of shapes aids theoretical understanding of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mechanisms of occupational segregation and labour market segmentation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and may aid the targeting of regulatory interventions to improve
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers'' access to both career and caring security.'
