abstract: 'More than 27\% of the U.S. workforce now reports having an ability to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
alter their daily starting and ending times of work Yet, provision of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flexibility in the timing of work is not keeping pace with demand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover there is much disparity in access to schedule flexibility by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers'' demographic. work, and job characteristics. Probit estimation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
finds that the probability that a worker has such flexibility is reduced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by being female, non-White, and less educated. The likelihood is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased by being self-employed, in college, married, part-time, in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
certain occupations and industries, and working 50 or more hours per
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
week flexibility is reduced for those working a standard day shift or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
40-hour workweek. Workers thus sacrifice either leisure time or income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to gain better access to flexibility in the scheduling of work, or they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
endure the costs of job mobility. Public policy should focus on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
delivering more flexible schedules to the excluded 73\%.'
