Working time in Great Britain and Australia: an economic analysis
thesis
posted on 2018-03-27, 13:46 authored by Peter J. DawkinsThe subject of this thesis is the economics of working time
in Great Britain and Australia, with special reference to the
length and timing of working hours.
First, the incidence of and trends in work patterns, in Great
Britain and Australia, are examined. The incidence of and
trends in, normal hours, actual hours, overtime and part-time
work in Britain and Australia, show a great deal of
similarity. It is more difficult to compare "non-standard
working hours" (hours outside of the normal spread of hours,
e.g. shift work) because of problems with the data. It is
clear, however, that non-standard hours of work are important
in both countries. [Continues.]
