The Third Shift
Author(s)Hochschild, Arlie Russell
Abstract“As the first shift (at the workplace) takes more time, the second shift (at home) becomes more hurried and rationalized. The longer the workday at the office or plant, the more we feel pressed at home to hurry, to delegate, to delay, to forgo, to segment, to hyperorganize the precious remains of family time. Both their time deficit and what seem like solutions to it force parents…to engage in a third shift-noticing, understanding and coping with the emotional consequences of the compressed second shift”.
