| Abstract: | This article examines the relationship between part-time work and family wellbeing, taking into account interdependence within the family. Panel data from the Household, Income and Labor Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey is used. It is found that part-time women are more satisfied with working hours than full-time women. Women's life satisfaction is increased if their partners work full-time. Male partners' life satisfaction is unaffected by their partners' market hours. However, it is increased if they themselves are working full-time. The results are consistent with the gender identity hypothesis. |
