Накратко на български
Гъвкавството при работа, като намаляване на часовете или промяна на мястото, влияе върху психичното здраве на родителите и развитието на децата. Разбирането на тези ефекти помага за постигане на по-добър баланс между професионалния живот и семейството.

Parental Employment and Child Investments
Flexible working practices can help parents maintain work and family life balance that can lead to increased productivity and improved mental health and well-being. The project PEACH aimed to analyse the causal effect of flexible and non-standard working practices on both child and parental outcomes, by analysing a policy which allow individuals to relax full-time and standard hours commitment to their job. Applying microeconometric methods, “Juggling Work and Family: The Effect of Flexibility on Mental Health” analyses the causal effect of flexible and non-standard working practices on parental mental health outcomes by looking at the UK Right to Request and Duty to Consider Flexible Working which allowed individuals to relax full-time and standard hours commitment to their job. The analysis uses different definitions of flexible work: reduction on the number of working hours, organization of working hours, and flexibility in working place. The study also considers spousal spillover effects. Results show a selection in the uptake of the type of flexible work among fathers and mothers, as well as differences in the own and spousal effects of flexible work on mental health. The project has achieved most of its objectives and milestones for the period, with relatively minor deviations.

Цел на проекта
Flexible working practices can help parents to maintain household income whilst not compromising time spent with their children. Such working arrangements also help parents maintain a balance between work and family life leading to increased productivity and improved well-being. However, there are costs involved, such as lower wages, job security, opportunities for career advancement, and training. In addition, the leisure time of parents is likely to fall as parents spend an increasing proportion of their time on domestic and work activities.Applying microeconometric methods, the project PEACH will analyse the causal effect of flexible and non-standard working practices on both child and parental outcomes by analysing two specific policies which allow individuals to relax the full-time and the standard hours commitment to their job. 1. The German Part-time and Fixed Term Employment Law 2000 2. The UK Right to Request and Duty to Consider Flexible WorkingSpecifically, PEACH will pursue the following research objectives to explore the flexible working practices in the UK and GermanyR1: Examine the uptake of flexible working practices on mother and father employment, R2: Examine the effect of flexible working practices on the parents’ (i) total hours of domestic and labour market activities, (ii) long-run career, and (iii) mental health.R3: Examine the effect of flexible working practices on child cognitive and health outcomesR4: Create a network and Disseminate results to a broader audience.PEACH involves mobility for the researcher, with a secondment at DIW, Berlin, Germany.
