Abstract:
The amount and the chronological position of common free time of fathers under different shift systems with their children of different ages is analysed for reasons for explaining deficiencies in the school career of children of shiftworking fathers. It is shown that the amount of common free time is interactively determined by the particular form of the fathers' shift schedules and the timetables of their children. Shiftworkers have smaller amounts of common free time at their disposal for contacts with schoolgoing children than dayworkers, but within the group of shiftworkers the amount of common free time explains only a small proportion of the variance in the shiftworkers, evaluations of their interpersonal relations to their children.
