| dc.description.abstract | The study explores the relationship between working status and the welling-being of prime-aged men and women with young children. By using the Canadian GSS cycle 19 dataset, I studied two aspects of well-being: “satisfaction with jobs or main activities” and “satisfaction with life as a whole”. The main findings are that for partnered moms, those with part-time jobs report lower job satisfaction and higher life satisfaction than their full-time counterparts. | en_US |
