Men’s longer hours of paid work ‘buy’ them less family work and more time to be healthy than women, researchers say
, analysed the relationship between paid and family work time and physical activity.
The researchers found that women’s physical activity dropped when either their paid or family work hours increased, or if the timing of their paid work was less flexible. The study co-author Prof Lyndall Strazdins, of the Australian National University, said: “We’re wanting women to work equally, but we’re not enabling them to do that, and they’re cutting back on their health.”
Strazdins said longer work hours for men had “almost no effect on their time for being active and keeping themselves healthy”.
