ESS-19 / Gender, work & age
The work-family bill
Who pays the wellbeing tax of work-family conflict: mothers, fathers or childless workers?
PlannedWave 3Research question, not a published result
The question
Compare paid hours, care demands and reported conflict across household types.
What the analysis will test
- Primary quantity
- Weighted work-family conflict and wellbeing gaps by household type.
- Evidence
- ESS rounds 2, 5. Modules: work family.
- Primary comparison
- Work-care burden comparison. The final form depends on validated data and uncertainty.
- Publication threshold
- Pinned source editions, reviewed questionnaire comparability, survey-design-aware intervals, disclosure checks and reproducible aggregate outputs.
What this evidence does not prove
The measured association is not the causal price of care; the historical module windows must remain visible.
The ESS interviews different probability samples in each round. It measures structural differences and change, not today's mood or the same individuals over time.
