Trends and determinants of adverse working conditions among employed women in Australia: a 20-year analysis
Between 1996 and 2018, working conditions for a cohort of Australian women of reproductive age changed significantly. There was a notable decline in shift and night work, alongside a significant increase in long working hours. The results likely reflect a combination of modified working conditions, women's career transitions and changes in personal/caring responsibilities. The potential health implications of long working hours require careful monitoring.
