Abstract
This highly innovative interdisciplinary project using sociological, managerial and psychological theories and state of the art quantitative methods aims to examine the impact of working-time flexibility on work-life balance of individuals, and the importance of contexts in this relationship. It brings together the key research strengths I've built over the years, i.e.; substantive knowledge of working-time practices across countries, theoretical understandings of the impact of job demands and resources on work-family conflict and the impact of contexts, my methodological knowledge using quantitative methods, and lastly my knowledge on some of the key comparative data sources available on these topics.
Work-life balance is a crucial aspect of an individual's well-being that also impacts the welfare of families and other societal issues such as fertility rates, and is therefore a major policy goal for most welfare states. For companies, considering that conflict between work and the family life will eventually impact a company's performance outcomes due to sickness, absenteeism, recruiting and retaining workers, providing work-life balance is crucial to retain a productive and effective workforce. One way of simultaneously addressing the work-life balance needs of employees and the productivity needs of employers, while keeping costs down for both governments and companies, is the use of flexible working arrangements. This approach has been supported at the company- national-, and even EU-levels via policies and campaigns, and can provide a good alternative to other more costly work-life balance policies. However, some scholars have pointed to the fact that flexible working can lead to spill-overs from work to home leading to negative results. Despite the mixed results, in-depth evidence based on cross-national data remain lacking and the question of who is really able to benefit from the use of flexibility, in what context, has yet to be answered. To provide this much-needed insight and empirical evidence for future policy developments, this project examines the following questions. What is the impact of working-time flexibility on work-life balance? Does this impact differ across different company and national contexts and individuals in question? If so, why? The study applies a multi-level approach connecting the different levels this dynamic takes place: namely the individual-, company- and country-levels. In addition, two time points are compared to see the extent of diffusion of working-time flexibility in the past years and how this influences its impact on work-family conflict. I will match different secondary data sets across 27 European countries, at the individual-, company- and national-levels for around 2004 and 2010 for the analyses. Different forms of quantitative analysis will be carried out, including multi-level modelling and models to study causal relationships.
The results of this research will provide crucial information for groups including trade unions, employers' organisations, organisations supporting working families and women's rights, as well as policy makers at the national and European levels. These beneficiaries will be contacted to take part as an advisory group, to provide valuable input for the project. This study will bring forward a new dimension the study of work-family conflict and the role of working-time flexibility by understanding the dynamics in a wider perspective, which reflects the actual environments individuals and companies are placed in and provide us with new understanding of the role of policies. The results of the project will be disseminated through policy reports and meetings open to all parties interested, as well as through attending international conferences and dissemination through academic publications. In addition, press releases, newsletters and web-site dedicated to the project topic will be used to distribute the outcomes of this project to a wider audience.

Planned Impact
The outcomes of the analysis will provide the much needed understanding of the preconditions and contexts where individuals are actually able to take up flexible working-time arrangements as well as when it provides good outcomes at the individual, company as well as country level. Through this, this project aims to help enhance the quality of life and well-being of individuals across Europe, contribute to evidence based policy making both at the national and company level, and enhance efficiency and performance outcomes at the company level as well as government levels. This will benefit the following bodies.
* Workers in need of work-life balance, trade-unions and other worker support organisations
-National level:Trade Union Congress, University and College Union
-European/International level:European Trade Union Confederation, European Trade Union Institute
-Non-government organisations working with work-life balance issues and women's rights:Working Families, Fawcett Society
- Workers?dividuals who are interested in the issues of flexible working
This project will provide workers and worker support organisation with empirical evidence of the business case for the use of flexible working arrangements, and information concerning how flexible working arrangements should be implemented to best benefit workers. This study will also provide helpful information that can enhance the public awareness and understanding of flexible working and to support the use and extension of flexible working rights for all workers and families.
*Companies and employers' organisation
-National level:Confederation of British Industries, Federation of Small Businesses
-European level:Business Europe, other European employer's organisations
-Companies who are interested in the issues surrounding flexible working
The results of the project will provide information on the company context where flexible working arrangements can provide optimum performance outcomes for workers as well as companies. Thus this study will help businesses in general, and provide useful insights that can be used by employers and business organisations to help their members use good cost-cutting HR management practices that can lead to productivity gains and profit generation.
* Policy makers and Whitehall departments
-National level:Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, Department for Work and Pensions
-European level:European Foundation, International Labour Organisation, European Commission DG-Employment
The results from the national-level analyses will show us which countries have been successful in providing flexible working-time arrangements to a wider group of workers. In addition, the results will indicate the national preconditions needed to enhance the use of flexible working arrangements and enable its use to the benefit of both workers and companies. This will help enhance the effectiveness of policies aimed to help workers balance work and family life. Without this knowledge, policies introducing flexible working-time may not be successful in achieving their goal and may even lead to unintended negative outcomes.
I will set up an advisory board consisting of individuals from the three major beneficiary groups as well as academics in the field of comparative working time issues to help guide the process of the project from beginning to end. The results of the study will be disseminated to the users that can benefit from the results of the study through a jargon free executive summary. This will be delivered through a one-day conference held at the University of Kent open to all interested parties. In addition, a website dedicated to this project and interactions with the media will help deliver the key findings of this project to the general public. This will also allow for an easier communication flow to the general public to help public awareness and understanding of working-time flexibility and its impact on work-life balance.

Gender, Flexibility Stigma and the Perceived Negative Consequences of Flexible Working in the UK
in Social Indicators Research
| Description | Key results of the project Who has access to schedule control/flexitime? - It is the highly educated, high skilled workers in upper occupational groups that have most access - Those who are likely to have more demand for the arrangement - e.g., women, workers with care responsibility do not necessarily have access - Female dominated job posts and sectors are those with the worst access to schedule control - Companies with high-skilled workers, and those using other types of high performance strategies are the ones providing schedule control to its workers - Countries with generous family policies seem to be those where workers have more access : family-friendly policies at the national level promotes better corporate culture of family-friendliness - This is especially for the higher skilled/highly educated --> it seems like schedule control is used as a top up policy in addition to existing family policies Flexible working and flexibility stigma - More than 1/3 of workers in the UK hold flexibility stigma based on the BIS Work-Life Balance Survey of 2011 - Men and fathers are more likely have flexibility stigma that flexible workers make more work for others, and that they are less likely to get promoted - Flexibility stigma reduces the perceived availability of flexible working arrangements as well as its take up when available - However, parents of young children still take up flexible working arrangements despite the stigma surrounding it - When examining the actual experienced negative outcomes of those who are /have used flexible working arrangements, negative career outcomes were seen mostly for those using part-time work. Those using flexitime and teleworking alone (not along side any working hours/intensity reducing arrangements) are unlikely to have said that they have experienced negative career outcomes due to working flexibly Flexible working and work intensity - There is evidence that schedule control/working time autonomy may increase overtime hours of workers - This effect is stronger for men, but also similar for full-time working women - Working remotely also increases (unpaid) overtime hours of workers, especially for men - However, for men this increase in work intensity seems to pay off - yet not for women (this may be due to employer's perception of how women's flexible working is being used) Does flexible working enhance work capacity? - Allowing women to work flexibly does increase the chances of them staying in employment after the birth of their first child - Allowing women to work flexibly decreases the chances of women reducing their working hours substantially after childbirth Does flexible working increase work-life balance? - Flexitime - flexible scheduling - helps reduce work-family conflict(the conflict felt between work and family life) for most workers - Teleworking on the other hand seem to increase work-family conflict - Especially those with demanding jobs are those where teleworking can lead to a stronger conflict - Yet for parents teleworking does not lead to a stronger conflict between work and family Do contexts make a difference? - Flexitime can be more beneficial if people are working in work places where long-working hours culture is prevalent - Flexitime/Schedule control is more detrimental in terms of work-spill over (into family lives) in countries where unemployment rates are higher |
| Exploitation Route | The following notes possible policy recommendations based on this project. Firstly, flexible working can help tackle the persistent gender inequalities in the labour market by allowing women to maintain their labour market positions after childbirth. This has huge implications for maintaining women's human capital and their career especially in a life-course perspective, which can help tackle the existing problems of gender wage gaps in the labour market. Yet, flexible working is still not being provided to many workers who need it most, especially with the most disadvantaged groups of workers without other means of tackling work-family conflict having the least access. Campaigns such as Working Families' 'Happy to talk flexible working' is a good and important step to change employers' and workers' views by suggesting that all jobs could potentially be flexible from day one. However, a stronger legislative right for workers in terms of requesting flexible working may be more effective in changing work cultures. As in the Dutch right to request, legislative changes that require employers to state reasons for rejecting flexible working requests would be a useful in ensuring that workers have a true right to flexible working. Such changes will enforce managers to rethink the current presentism work culture and embrace flexible working that can be productive for both employers and employees, especially in the longer term. At the company level it will be important to have campaigns to distribute the key messages of how flexibility can lead to better productivity outcomes to tackle the flexibility stigma still prevalent in our work places. It would be also be important to have work-life balance included as a part of the normal discussions between workers and managers. We should ensure to bring work-life balance at the forefront to change the existing "ideal worker norm" from that of a worker whose only responsibility and priority lies at work, to a more balanced worker that is able to deal with both the demands of work and other spheres of life. There is a potential for flexible working to reinforce gender roles by increasing men's work spheres and increasing women's family demands, due to the existing gender norms in our societies. More policies that encourage fathers to take up flexible working arrangements for family-friendly purposes are needed to overcome this. We also need to think of reshaping our labour laws to take into consideration the mass changes occurring in the workplace. Many labour laws are still are based on the standard worker working fixed hours, under manager's supervision. Most of these assumptions have now changed and the protection of workers need to move beyond our assumption to protect workers from working (needing to work) everywhere and all the time. It will be useful to have a more comprehensive discussion on issues around flexible working, changing gender roles, and work-life balance, as well as other changes in the labour market such as increase in work intensity, employment insecurity. We should also examine how a wider range of flexible working, including the new types of working such as the gig economy, should be promoted or regulated. This will allow workplace issues to be examined in a holistic manner and enable new strategies for a more productive, sustainable economy and decent work-life balance for all. |

| Description | ESRC narrative impact (Apologies but it seems like all hyper links have been erased/if possible it would be good to be given the opportunity to submit this as a doc file?) The impact of this research are four parts,; influencing UK government and international governments across their world in their flexible working/future of work policy agendas; influencing the policy direction and capacity building of policy stakeholders and advocacy groups ; changing international (research) organisations' policy stance on flexible working; and changing public perceptions on flexible working. 1. Shaping the future of work agendas of governments across the world The results have influenced government's policies on flexible working and work-life balance issues. In particular this study has shown that flexible working can help reduce gender inequality in the labour market by allowing women to maintain their labour market position, yet that it can also lead to increased working hours, and/or negative career outcomes - namely the flexibility stigma. The project raised awareness of the need to increase the right to flexible working, as well as the need to change work cultures to enable a better use of flexible working arrangements. UK government At the national level, my work - especially that on flexibility stigma - is cited by the Women& Equalities select committee in their report on fathers and the workplace, which highlights the problems with the existing right to request flexible working. Due to this, Business, Energy & Industries Strategies (BEIS) will be undertaking a review of the right to request flexible working policy next year and I am working closely with the groups involved. Similarly, I have been working closely with Government Equalities Office to help strengthen their policy capacity in relation to family policies. More specifically I have worked with GEO to draft up key policy recommendations for employers in how to best use flexible working arrangements to tackle the gender wage gap (document in process/to be published shortly). Such expertise in the area has also led to being invited by BEIS to take part in revising Maternity & Paternity Leave Survey of 2019. European level The results of this project have also influenced the development/progress of the European Commissions' pillar of social rights on work-life balance. This is done by supporting the policy capacity of one of the key advocacy groups at the European level on work-family issues - i.e., COFACE (see below), but also directly by providing key support material for policy makers at the European level. This is evidenced by the reference to my work in the European Economic and Social Committee's opinion supporting the European Commission's proposal on the directive on Work-life balance of working parents and care givers: Read it here My research has also been cited in the White paper of the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affair on Future of Work (Arbeit 4.0) in 2016 "Flexible working can lead to not only working differently and better, but also to increase in work intensity. Women and men use schedule control differently, which can enforce traditional roles. " . In 2017-18, the findings have also help shaped the Estonian government's future of work agenda in ensuring better flexible working practices are developed. I have been invited by the Italian ministry of equal opportunities in 2017 and her work highlighting the potential negative outcomes of flexible working has help shaped its policy directions on flexible working. International I have been/am advising the Korean Federation of Trade Unions on their policies around working time and gender equality. Through workshops and reports, I've helped shaped their position on flexible working and working time reduction. 2. Shaping policy agendas and building capacities of policy stakeholders and advocacy groups across the world The results of the study has help policy directions of advocacy groups on work-family issues across the world, and help build capacity for policy advocacy in promoting good flexible working practices. My work has been cited in the "The Better Work Tool Kit" of the Better Life Lab a top American think-tank on work-family issues in 2016 "So workers with flexible schedules and remote work tend to put in longer hours, viewing the time as an accommodation or gift" . My papers have also been used in COFACE(Families Europe)'s response to the European Commission's Pillar of social rights proposal on work-life balance in 2017 "However, we would like to point out a risk that needs to be taken into account in the transposition of the directive on this point, and more in general on smart and flexible working: avoid the shift from a culture of presence at work to a culture of full availability. Having access to devices that allow workers to be connected at all times may further blur the boundaries between work and private life" . These results also helped shape the international labour organisation's agenda on working time issues to ensure that flexible working does not result in overwork/long hours work. I have been invited by the ILO to work as in an expert group to help formulate key policies that can be discussed in the upcoming tripartite meeting. The results of this project has also been used to help inform policy stances of various NGOs in the UK such as Working Families, Workingmums, and Families Europe, all of whom have been key players in shaping policy directions of the UK government and the European commission. For example, the findings of this project has been crucial in developing Families Europe's strategy in influencing the proposal on the pillar of social rights of work-life balance in 2017 "Work Autonomy, Flexibility and Work-Life Balance" helped us further develop our policy reflection on the role of worklife balance measures in the workplace (flexible working, smart work, telework, and the autonomy in defining such arrangements, etc) ". I have also been invited by the European commission as an expert in shaping their policy tools of measuring flexicurity, which also ensures that good flexible working practices are being used in 2017. I am a policy expert for the European Foundation, a research body of the Commission, to help support their policy capacity building in relation to work life balance /working time issues. I have worked closely with TUC in help shape their approach to work-life balance/right to request flexible working in 2017. This work has help shape TUC policy documents and policy stance on work-life balance and flexible working. I have also been a key policy advisor for the Charter Management Institute's White paper on gender gap in 2016-18. I ensured the inclusion of the role of flexible working and its positive and negative outcomes are measured in their survey, and that their key policy stance and training provided to managers include how to encourage good flexible working practices - cited 13 times in the white paper. 3. Changing the perception of the public on flexible working I have continued to write think pieces based on the results of this project, and the outcomes of the project has received international press coverage. My work has been covered by news medias from all over the world - in more than 20 different countries 70 different news outlets and dozen different languages. Some notable coverage include a full coverage by the Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times, the Daily Mail, BBC international, Fortune Magazine, Harvard Business Review, Der Speigel/Speigel Online, Die Zeit, La Tribune, the Times of India, the World Economic Forum etc. This information has reached an estimate of 30 million people worldwide, and generated almost a million pounds worth of press coverage over the past 5 years.

| Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
| Impact | My work on flexible working has help shaped the response of COFACE (the largest NGO at the European level for family issues) regarding the European commissions' proposal on the Work Life Balance directive. The Work life balance directive is a new directive currently being reviewed which will shape family policies across all European member states, which includes a range of different policies but especially of interest to this project is the right to request flexible working. COFACE has been a part of this project's policy advisory board, and thus I have frequently advised them on policies on flexible working. My work has directly influenced their stance on the right to flexible working - whilst welcome, that we should introduce other safety measures to ensure workers do not end up working all the time everywhere. This response was very influential in shaping of the directive/proposal which will influence workers' well being/work life balance and gender equality in the labour market for all EU member states. |

| Description | Citation in EIGE report Gender Equality Index 2020: Digitalisation and the future of work |
| Geographic Reach | Europe |
| Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
| Impact | My published work provided evidence in EIGE's Annual Gender Equality Index around the role of flexible and teleworking in maintaining women's employment after childbirth, as well as the impacts of flexible working policies on gender equality in the workplace. EIGE's 2020 index report subsequently influenced the European Economic and Social Committee opinion report on the benefits and risks of teleworking implementation. This article calls for an assessment of existing European framework agreement on teleworking (2002) to ensure that contemporary European policy addresses the signifiant rise in teleworking and enables social partners to play a role in advancing teleworking in a manner that promotes gender equality, wellbeing at work and productivity. The EIGE annual gender equality index is a highly influential and widely accessed resource. Accordingly, citation in this resource will have increased awareness of the benefits and challenges of using flexible working to promote maternal sustained labour force participation.

| Impact | This report highlights areas where the EU could take new or additional actions or policy levers to support parents to remain in the labour market. These include targeting the unequal distribution of unpaid labour and reducing the gender pay gap; reviewing the need to further enforce or strengthen leave provision for the self-employed; and conducting further research. The report improves awareness of the policy issues hindering parental and maternal employment and can change the regulatory environment. It also raises awareness of the role flexible working can play in supporting mothers to remain in employment following childbirth. |

| Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
| Impact | Multiple works of mine from this project and previous projects on working time has been cited in the OECD policy briefing on flexible working. this brief is crucial for governments in OECD countries and elsewhere to understand what flexible working is and its outcomes. The main contribution of my work has been to understand the multiple dimensions of flexible working currently taking place in OECD/European countries, as well as to understand the potential negative outcomes of blurring of boundaries between work and family life. This will help improve policies in the labour market to protect workers and improve worker's work life balance and well being. |

| Impact | The two paper cited in the report as below The access to remote, flexible, and/or part-time jobs can improve labour market inclusion for women. In a cross-country comparison, the share of women working from home correlates broadly to maternal employment rates (OECD, 2017). Evidence also suggests that flexible work allows mothers to maintain their careers after childbirth (Chung and Van der Horst 2018b) and reduces barriers to mothers' employment in higher-wage jobs Flexible work may deteriorate women's working and employment conditions. First, the relation between flexible working and work-life balance is not evident, and some studies suggest it may in fact exacerbate work-family conflict and blur boundaries between work and non-work responsibilities (and, as a result, negatively impact well-being) (Chung and van der Lippe, 2018). This is used to 1) provide better access to flexible working for workers but also 2) consider protective mechanisms for flexible workers to ensure that it does not lead to further exacerbation of gender inequality This would be used to provide legislative framework to expand and protect flexible working practices. |

| Description | cited by the European Commission's report |
| Geographic Reach | Europe |
| Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
| Impact | The report notes below - citing my work. Evidence demonstrates that women were more likely to work from home during the pandemic because they (rather than their male partners) 'picked up the slack' and combined work with domestic caring activities while childcare services and schools were closed (Chung et al, 2021). In this way, existing gender disparities in the distribution of unpaid domestic work may have been exacerbated by the pandemic. This highlights 1) how homeworking can exacerbate gender inequality patterns if no further regulatory changes are made to ensure gender norms change and 2) how homeworking can also enable parents to cope with work -family demands in terms of extereme demands (e.g. pandemic) This has led to a push within the European Commission/parliament to consider the implementation of different regulatory mechanisms to ensure that flexible working can increase but so that its rise does not lead to further entrechment of inequalities. |

| Description | cited/used in the Eurofound's report on telework |
| Geographic Reach | Europe |
| Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
| Impact | The text that cites my work is as follows; Similarly, autonomy may be a double-edged sword because it could also result in employees working longer and unsocial hours (Eurofound and ILO, 2017; Eurofound, 2020a). Telework offers workers more autonomy, which is an asset. Autonomy, however, can also lead to an intensification of work when combined with heavy workloads and work cultures dominated by competition, self-management or mechanisms to enforce job performance. This is the 'autonomy paradox' of such arrangements and is particularly evident when the phenomenon of self-exploitation is considered (Chung, 2022). Therefore, this work organisation may lead to unsocial and irregular working hours, as shown at EU and national levels above This report has led to more debates around the need for regulatory frameworks to protect home/flexible workers in the future - including the legislation of right to disconnect. this will benefit millions of workers across Europe to ensure that flexible working is not at odds with well-being/health and safety. |

| Results and Impact | The aim of this event is to celebrate feminist achievements at the University of Kent, setting them in the context of research over the past fifty years. During this symposium, there was a session about women and employment. Here we have discussed some limitations for women to take part in employment - including lack of flexibility and childcare. This has stimulated a heated discussion on the lack of government responses to such issues and how we can address these issues locally- University of Kent, Region of Kent, but also nationally. The talk has increased public awareness on the issues that women face as barriers in engaging in the labour market. Several students from the talk also decided to take up this issue in their studies as their thesis dissertation. (both BA and MA). |

| Results and Impact | Research undertaken by Dr Heejung Chung from the University of Kent and Yvonne Lott (Hans-Böckler foundation) shows how employees are opting for flexible working-time more often. Particularly men now tend to work longer hours. While the increase in working hours leads to a higher income for men, women are discriminated against and do not experience the same increase in their salaries. |

| Results and Impact | Research undertaken by Heejung Chung from the University of Kent shows flexible schedules reward dads, not moms. German women, like American women, still shoulder the majority of domestic responsibilities. Chung's research suggests what a large body of academic evidence already supports: Mothers are sometimes viewed as less committed employees, regardless of their productivity and that perception appears to show up in the way they are paid. |

While the increase in working hours leads to a higher income for men, women are discriminated against and do not experience the same increase in their salaries. |

| Results and Impact | Heejung Chung from the University of Kent says that new 'flexible working' rights could mean longer days and less family time. Increased flexibility at work allows workers to dedicate time to do many things that were not possible before and this has the potential to provide workers with a better work-life balance. However, Chung argues we need to be aware of the honey trap where the sweetness of freedom lures us into ever diminishing boundaries between work and life, a job that never ends, or into making irreversible decisions that have dire consequences for our future careers. |

| Results and Impact | Flexitime and having autonomy over working hours - known as schedule control - impacts differently on men and women and may increase the gender pay gap. The research undertaken by the University of Kent and the Hans-Bockler Foundation, Dusseldorf, Germany, showed that the increase in overtime was much higher for men, meaning that schedule control has the potential to 'traditionalise' gender roles. This was because of the large number of women taking part in the study sample who were working part-time. |

| Results and Impact | A key issue surrounding the EU referendum are workers' rights. And, as with all referendum issues, Dr Heejung Chung from the University of Kent suggests to be careful about the way interpreting the arguments. The IJK has been a country where liberal policies on labour regulation have historically been more lax compared to others. |

| Results and Impact | Research undertaken by Dr Heejung Chung from the University of Kent and Yvonne Lott (Hans-Böckler foundation) shows how employees are opting for flexible working-time more often. Particularly men now tend to work longer hours. While the increase in working hours leads to a higher income for men, women are discriminated against and do not experience the same increase in their salaries.This is due to the gendered division of unpaid labour at home. While women use flexible working hours to do additional chores, men opt for longer working hours of paid labour. |

| Results and Impact | Research led by Heejung Chung from the University of Kent shows flexible hours make employees work longer as flexible working hours tempts people to work more. Chung and Mariska van der Horst on UK workers finds when workers have more autonomy over their working hours they are likely to increase the length of time they work. Chung and Yvonne Lott (Hans-Böckler foundation) also argue that those with more control over their work schedule work more than those with less control. In fact, people have a tendency to work more overtime hours once they are allowed to work flexibly, compared to when they were not |

| Results and Impact | Research undertaken by Heejung Chung from the University of Kent shows flexible schedules reward dads, not moms. German women, like American women, still shoulder the majority of domestic responsibilities. Chung's research suggests what a large body of academic evidence already supports: Mothers are sometimes viewed as less committed employees, regardless of their productivity and that perception appears to show up in the way they are paid. |

| Results and Impact | Flexitime and having autonomy over working hours - known as schedule control - impacts differently on men and women and may increase the gender pay gap. Research from the University's School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research and the Hans-Böckler Foundation showed that the increase in overtime was much higher for men, meaning that schedule control has the potential to 'traditionalise' gender roles. |

| Results and Impact | Research undertaken by Dr Heejung Chung from the University of Kent and Yvonne Lott (Hans-Böckler foundation) shows how employees are opting for flexible working-time more often. Particularly men now tend to work longer hours. While the increase in working hours leads to a higher income for men, women are discriminated against and do not experience the same increase in their salaries. Additionally, Chung and Mariska van der Horst (University of Kent) on UK workers find when workers have more autonomy over their working hours they are likely to increase the length of time they work. |

It raises the issue that in a workplace where the long working hours are considered ideal, reducing working hours itself especially for women may lead to negative results. It sparks the question for the readers to critically think about the current workplace culture of 'ideal worker.' |

For each move, we are bringing together key stakeholders and a variety of perspectives, to firstly discuss the state of play and then pave the way for actions and solutions: Workshop on Economic move "Portability of benefits and services for families moving within the EU: breaking down key legal and practical barriers" Workshop on Digital move Empowering families to move freely online: harnessing the full potential of the internet through genuine data portability. Workshop on Geographic move Separated families moving across borders: how to make the right to family reunification a reality for third country nationals of the EU? Workshop on Social move The societal shift in parenting and working roles: legislation as a driver to achieve work-life balance for all Workshop speakers include representatives from European and national civil society, the European Commission, the Organisation for European Cooperation and Development, the UNHCR, Migration Policy Group, Council of Europe, European and national social partners (ETUC, Business Europe, Dutch trade unions), researchers from universities involved in different EU-wide projects, policy-makers in national government, company representatives, and more. |

| Results and Impact | Heejung Chung from the University of Kent presented on a number of findings from the Work Autonomy, Flexibility and Work-Life Balance (WAF Project) at the Oxford Sociology Department Seminar. The paper examines whether flexible work arrangements can help relieve work-family conflict of individuals, and whether this relationship will depend on the national, gender, family and work contexts. It uses the European Social Survey of 2010 and the Work Employment Relations Survey (UK) of 2011. A multilevel random slopes modelling technique will be used to examine whether flexible schedules have a varying impact on individual's perceived work-family conflict across different contexts. Analysis results show that indeed context do matter when examining the relationship between flexible work and work-family conflict. |

The article addresses the guilt trap working mothers tend to fall into, and the work was provided as an evidence to show how flexible working is not necessarily a solution for the mothers who feel guilty. This provides an insight that although the taking part-time job may release working mothers from guilty feelings, it's still not an ideal solution as it could make their lives more difficult. |

| Results and Impact | The work on flexible working was covered in the HR Review article with the title "Few companies meet modern working demands." The work was used as an evidence which provided insights that unlike the widespread belief by the employers that the flexible working may not work, it can actually increase the productivity of the workers. This could impact the changes in people's perceptions on flexible working. |

| Results and Impact | The article critically reflects on the effects of flexible working arrangements. According to Heejung Chung, flexible workers are doing more overtime. But while some men asked to be recompensed for that overtime, women were much less likely to, the research found. She surmised that this was because it was deemed that the women wanted flexibility due to childcare reasons and presumably were willing to trade the extra pay for flexibility. |

| Results and Impact | Research undertaken by Heejung Chung from the University of Kent and Yvonne Lott (Heinz-Böckler foundation) shows that people who have more control over their schedules tend to work longer hours than those who have less control. And while those flexible schedule workers also earn more money, the study found that such benefits are not shared equally by men and women. This study shows that people who have more control over their work hours may reap the benefits of better work-life balance and higher pay. But they also need to be aware of the possibility that they may work significantly longer hours, and that gender discrepancies may be reinforced by the way such flex arrangements are implemented. |

| Results and Impact | Research undertaken by Heejung Chung from the University of Kent shows flexible schedules reward dads, not moms. German women, like American women, still shoulder the majority of domestic responsibilities. Chung's research suggests what a large body of academic evidence already supports: Mothers are sometimes viewed as less committed employees, regardless of their productivity and that perception appears to show up in the way they are paid. |

Particularly men now tend to work longer hours. While the increase in working hours leads to a higher income for men, women are discriminated against and do not experience the same increase in their salaries. This is due to the gendered division of unpaid labour at home. While women use flexible working hours to do additional chores, men opt for longer working hours of paid labour. |

| Results and Impact | Heejung Chung, a sociologist at the University of Kent in England, argues that employees who work from home put in longer hours - though no one can definitively say whether that labor is better or worse. In the study, Chung's team examined the work habits of German employees with flexible work hours from 2003 to 2011 and found they bagged more overtime pay than those in stricter arrangements. That pattern held true regardless of position or type of job. Chung found that men and women in full-time jobs with flexible schedules worked about the same amount of overtime hours. The same went for mothers and fathers. |

According to Heejung Chung form the University of Kent and Yvonne Lott (Heinz-Böckler foundation), although schedule control is associated with increases in overtime and income, it is men that benefit more. The differences in usage of flexitime therefore can reinforce traditional gender roles. |

| Results and Impact | Heejung Chung from the University of Kent and Yvonne Lott (Hans-Böckler foundation) show that people who have more control over their schedules tend to work longer hours than those who have less control. And while those flexible schedule workers also earn more money, the study found that such benefits are not shared equally by men and women. The authors noted that employees tend to seek flexibility in order to improve work-life balance, spend more time with family, or gain the potential financial benefits that can come with control. Businesses, on the other hand, may hope to boost productivity or improve employee engagement by offering flexible work options. |

| Results and Impact | A study led by the University of Kent finds that flexitime and having autonomy over working hours - known as schedule control - works better for men than women and may increase the gender pay gap. This gender discrepancy exists even when they took into account the gender segregation of the labour market, such as sectors and occupations, as well as other characteristics such as an individual's ambition or work devotion. |

Flexitime and having autonomy over working hours impacts differently on men and women and may increase the gender pay gap. Although schedule control is associated with increases in overtime and income, it is men that benefit more. |
