abstract: 'Although it is generally assumed that women engaged in paid work have
better health than full-time homemakers, little is known about the
situation in Southern European countries like Spain or about differences
in the impact of family demands by employment status or the potential
interaction with educational level. The objectives of this study are to
analyse whether inequalities in health exist among housewives and
employed women, and to assess whether the relationship between family
demands and health differs by employment status. Additionally, for both
objectives we examine the potential different patterns by educational
level. The data have been taken from the 1994 Catalonian Health Survey
(Spain). The sample was drawn from all women aged 25-64 years who were
employed or full-time homemakers and married or cohabiting. Four health
indicators (self-perceived health status, limiting long-standing
illness, chronic conditions and mental health) and two health related
behaviours (hours of sleeping and leisure-time physical activity) were
analysed. Family demands were measured through household size, living
with children under 15 and living with elderly. Overall, female workers
had a better health status than housewives, although this pattern was
more consistent for women of low educational level. Conversely, the
health related behaviours analysed were less favourable for workers,
mainly for those of low educational level. Among workers of low
educational level, family demands showed a negative effect in most
health indicators and health related behaviours, but had little or no
negative association at all in workers of high educational level or in
full-time homemakers. Moreover, among women of low educational level,
both workers and housewives, living with elderly had showed a negative
association with poor health status and health related behaviours. These
results emphasise the need of considering the interaction between family
demands, employment status and educational level in analysing the impact
of family demands on women''s health as well as in designing family
policies and programmes of women''s health promotion. (C) 2003 Elsevier
