abstract: 'Objective: This paper pursues the question as to how extended flexible
working possibilities in the labor market are legitimized among
employers and employees and whether they have potential to mitigate
inequalities.Background: Persistent and increasing gendered inequalities
in Austria are reflected in the unequal division of unpaid family work
in parental couples and in men''s stable fulltime employment while women
increasingly work part-time. In recent years, employers have expanded
flexible working possibilities for all employees, regardless of their
gender, also in leading positions and especially for those with family
responsibilities.Method: We conducted six focus groups and 16
semi-structured interviews with employers (n=30) and employees (n=25)
from 29 contrasting companies across Austria. An in-depth reconstructive
analysis facilitated our exploration of collective notions and concepts
associated with flexible work and career opportunities. Results: The
respondents constructed part-time and flexible work as a new norm
strongly connected to women with (potential) children. At the same time,
employers and employees legitimized that these women must be protected
from penalties resulting from the ideal worker norm still in force and
must be variously supported by employers. However, men - the partners of
women they could support by making use of these options and taking over
childcare - are not constructed as a target group.Conclusion: In a
cultural context such as Austria, family-friendly flexible working
opportunities perpetuate rather than level gendered inequalities, as
men''s need for those opportunities do not emerge in the constructions.
The lack thereof is neither explicitly addressed nor challenged.'
