Toward a 24-Hour Economy
Abstract
Two-fifths of all employed Americans work mostly during the evenings or nights, on rotating shifts, or on weekends. This article discusses why the widespread prevalence of nonstandard schedules has come about, predicts further growth in the near future, and argues that the movement toward a 24-hour economy is significantly altering the nature and stability of family life. The need for policymakers and scholars to take a more realistic view of the temporal nature of family life is stressed, citing as an example the incongruent fit between the hours of child care availablility and the hours of employment among less-educated mothers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
