Abstract

This article provides a snapshot of paid employment and working hours through life, charting the way people juggle work and family responsibilities across their life stage transitions.

The article is a reprint of a separately published fact sheet, produced in support of the 2008 National Families Week available on the Australian Institute Family Studies website.
