The consequences of long working hours

This project is being conducted as part of a larger research program titled, The Dynamics of Economic and Social Change: An Analysis of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey.

Its main objective is to use the HILDA Survey data to identify whether working relatively long hours on a regular basis has any negative impacts on individual well-being and family functioning.

To date this project has given rise to the following conference paper:
