Abstract
Are you curious about how family dynamics have evolved over the past three decades in the UK? Join us for an enlightening discussion on the latest research findings from the British Household Panel Study and the UK Household Longitudinal Study. Our study explores the effects of partnership and parenthood on women's and men's paid and unpaid work hours, and how these effects have changed over time.
