abstract: 'In Australia, as in many industrialized countries, the past 50 years
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have been marked by increasing female labor-force participation. It is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
popularly speculated that this might impose a mental-health burden on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women and their children. This analysis aimed to examine the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associations between household labor-force participation (household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment configuration) and the mental health of parents and children.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seven waves of data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were used, comprising 2004-2016, with children aged 4-17 years). Mental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health outcome measures were the Strengths and Difficulties
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Questionnaire (children/adolescents) and 6-item Kessler Psychological
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Distress Scale (parents). A 5-category measure of household employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
configuration was derived from parental reports: both parents full-time,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
male-breadwinner, female-breadwinner, shared-part-time employment (both
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
part-time) and father full-time/mother part-time (1.5-earner).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixed-effects regression models were used to compare within-person
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects, controlling for time-varying confounders. For men, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
male-breadwinner configuration was associated with poorer mental health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compared with the 1.5-earner configuration (beta = 0.21, 95\% confidence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interval: 0.05, 0.36). No evidence of association was observed for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
either women or children. This counters prevailing social attitudes,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggesting that neither children nor women are adversely affected by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household employment configuration, nor are they disadvantaged by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extent of this labor-force participation. Men''s mental health appears to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be poorer when they are the sole household breadwinner.'
