“…Home-based telework has been seen as part of a broader trend towards 'significant diversification of the nature of working time … from a single temporality -time imposed synchronistically -to a plural temporality -individually chosen working time and variable hours' (Bouilin et al 1993). Empirical research on the relationships proposed here may have much to say about the consequences of this new temporality beyond the setting of telework.…”

Her research interests are in the area of work-family linkages in Dutch and other societies. Together with Arie Glebbeek she directed the integrated research program 'Time Competition: disturbed balances and new options in work and care', financed by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. In 2004 she received a grant (together with Esther Kluwer) from Utrecht University for the comprehensive interdisciplinary research program 'Interdependencies between work and family life'. She is coordinating the large-scale international comparative project 'Quality of life in a changing Europe', financed by the European Commission. She has published extensively on the division of labour between spouses, time use and time pressure in a comparative way, and labour market positions of men and women in Western and Eastern European countries. Her publications include

“…Technologies of production, with increasing degrees of automation, contributed to speeding up industrial processes, even as financial tools of credit and mortgage made it possible to accumulate the future value of individuals' labour. Moreover, from early days of flexible accumulation, the 'work day' has undergone a diversification of temporalities for many kinds of jobs (Boulin, Cette, & Taddéi, 1993). But all of this innovation was imagined and expressed in terms of discrete portions of the traditional Cartesian timeline.…”

This article makes two arguments. First, that advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) have created multiple parallel flows of consumption that allow us to be productive continuously, in the sense of generating value for the economy. Second, the struggle over social time poses emergent challenges for planning and urban design. After introducing the relevant themes, this article explains how value is derived from labour and the process through which time is made economically productive. Next, it is posited that advanced ICTs, especially mobile devices and associated services, create possibilities for multiple flows of time, freeing consumption from territorial and temporal restrictions, and opening up new forms of labour. This discussion elicits some concerns for those interested in communities and urban space. The article concludes with suggestions for adopting a socio-spatial-temporal outlook to urban planning and design, including designing ‘polyrhythmic’ places and planning for public time.

“…The temporal organization of work is a lively topic in many European countries and in the USA (Hinrichs et al, 1991;Boulin et al, 1993;Breedveld, 1998). The development of a 24-hour society has been mostly inferred from figures on the increasing number of people who work non-standard hours (Presser, 2000).…”

This study mapped the changes in the timing of working hours in Belgium as reported in workers' daily work schedules, obtained from the Belgian Time-Use Surveys of 1966 and 1999. A typology of working schedules was drawn up by means of a sequence analysis. This approach showed that work performed beyond the standard times, that is, in the evening, at night, or on weekends, did not grow in importance in the intervening years. In 1999, standard working hours clearly accounted for a larger share of the work schedules of the active population. Although the analyses did certainly not corroborate the often alleged trend towards a 24-hour society in Belgium, it could be shown that certain categories of the working population are more susceptible to flexible working hours than others
