TL;DR: Evidence is found that mothers using flexitime and with access to teleworking are less likely to reduce their working hours after childbirth, which contributes to the understanding of flexible working not only as a tool for work–life balance, but also as atool to enhance and maintain individuals’ work capacities in periods of increased family demands.

TL;DR: Results confirm that higher frequency of contacts and higher number of friends, as well as lower heterogeneity of the friendship network are related to more social trust, less stress, and a better health.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how three different types of flexible working arrangements, that is schedule control, flexitime, and teleworking, are associated with an increase in unpaid overtime hours of workers in the UK using the Understanding Society data from 2010 to 2015.

TL;DR: This paper examined the extent to which men and women make transitions into part-time work in older age, and whether such transitions are influenced by marital status, and found that women did not work at all or they worked part time (with some remaining in part time work and some retiring/exiting from this activity).

TL;DR: This article examined the interplay between three domains (care provision, paid work, and volunteering) using sequence analyses, cluster analyses, and loglinear modeling, finding little support for either view of role substitution or extension.
