People working outside of school are at risk for their health and family life. According to the American researcher, whose article on this topic was published on Tuesday, this problem is so serious that it deserves the attention of the government, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net The rapid development of the service industry has led to the fact that many people now work in the evenings, at night and on weekends. In the opinion of the sociologist Gariet B. Presser, in this regard, there are a number of dangers that can not be ignored.
"The economy that does not know sleep is a threat to those who work for it, and to their relatives," says Dr. Presser, a professor at the University of Maryland.
"This routine disrupts the stability of marriage, increases the amount of housework that needs to be done, destroys cohesion within the family and causes difficulties in caring for children".
Couples in which one partner works at an abnormal time, often part and divorce. In addition, such work is associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular diseases and breast cancer.
As a result, people do not get enough sleep, which causes additional harm to their health, and can not give proper attention to children.
As Dr. Presser writes, non-standard work schedules represent a political problem that should be seriously addressed. "When two out of five working Americans work at a non-standard time, this inevitably affects them and their families, and this, of course, is a social problem".
Presser believes that as compensation, people working in non-standard mode should receive higher wages, be in the service fewer hours, receive certain benefits and help in caring for children. Night work should also be limited.
Considering in his article existing literature on this issue, Dr. Presser comes to the conclusion that in a situation where one of the adults is working at an inopportune time, the disagreement in the schedule of a work day with the spouse and children can lead to a crisis in the life together.
Despite the fact that it can be economically feasible, if people can not give each other enough time, this leads to a "spiritual break".
When the spouses have different schedules, this raises the need for a complex system of childcare.
On the one hand, fathers can take on more educational functions, but often there is still a gap that should be filled by nannies, relatives, neighbors, elements of the state system of preschool institutions - you get a whole patchwork of different people sitting at different times with the child.
Even such trivial problems as division of duties in the household, according to Dr. Passer, in a family with competing schedules can cause problems.
Although she cites Belgium as an example, where work at night is prohibited by law, she sees no need for such extreme measures. She simply proposes to do everything to reduce the risks associated with working in non-standard mode.
