“…While the state and the market have taken on many of the activities that the family used to undertake in earlier historical periods, informal care provided by family members, more specifically by women, is still crucially important as the main source of eldercare. Even where formal services are most developed, such as in Sweden and Finland, informal care makes a significant contribution, although the type of informal care provided may be different Anxo andNyman 2000, Sipilä 1997). When practical tasks are undertaken by formal services, the role of informal carers may be focused on providing social contact, support, and mediation between the elder person and the formal services (European Commission 1999: 6-7).…”

It is generally agreed by economists that future employment growth in developed countries will be heavily reliant on the tertiary sector. The reasons behind this important change in employment structure have been the subject of much debate and controversy. The outcomes of these discussions are of decisive importance for economic policy and the quality of working and living conditions in the future.Working in the Service Sector adds to this ongoing debate, using original research and empirical analysis from a wide range of countries. The book examines core issues such as working time, country regimes, working conditions in different employment sectors and flexibility as well as gender and work. The reader is presented with case studies and accompanying analysis for various service industries across different nations.Working in the Service Sector provides an engaging and comprehensive account of this shift in employment structure and will be of great interest to students and academics of economics and essential reading for policy makers.

“…Hence any reduction of working time is matched by a corresponding decrease in the operating time of machinery, worsening the capacity constraints of firms. In an international comparative study Anxo and Taddei (1995) conclude, however, that for the last thirty years the capital operating time in manufacturing industry remained more or less constant despite the reduction in hours of work. For the USA, Foss( 1997) found that manufacturing plants where operating 25% more hours per week in 1976 than in 1929 and increased by another 4% until 1988.…”

“…El porcentaje de trabajadores manuales en la industria que trabajan en turnos en 1990 fue de 34.1. Foss (1997) En un estudio comparativo internacional, Anxo et al (1995) examina la utilización del trabajo a turnos en Francia, Alemania, Noruega, Suecia, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos. Respecto a la tendencia a largo plazo, el análisis revela un notable incremento en la incidencia del sistema de turnos.…”

“…En trabajos de orientación menos teórica, aplicados sobre todo a la industria automovilística, se considera una de las variables de decisión de la empresa la introducción o no de nuevos turnos, Bresnahan y Ramey (1994), Aizcorbe (1992). Como se comentó en la sección anterior investigaciones empíricas acerca del tiempo operativo del capital han sido llevadas a cabo en Foss (1997) y en Anxo (1995). Ambos contienen un elaborado análisis del recurso al sistema de turnos y su tendencia a largo plazo.…”

“…En los últimos años, se ha extendido considerablemente el tiempo de utilización de la planta en la mayor parte de los países industrializados (Anxo et al (1995); Cette (1990);Foss (1984)) debido, principalmente, al incremento en las tecnologías capital-intensivas. La razón para ello radica en que cuando el volumen y la intensidad del capital aumenta las empresas pueden reducir los costes unitarios del capital extendiendo el tiempo operativo.…”

ResumenEn esta tesis se realiza un análisis teórico de la determinación de la jornada de trabajo y su relación con el resto de variables que caracterizan el mercado laboral. El interés se centra en el horario de trabajo y en su flexibilidad. Para ello se define la jornada a través de dos variables: el momento de inicio y la duración, y sobre esta base se construyen dos modelos. El primero es un modelo de equilibrio general con trabajo a turnos. En él se pone de manifiesto cómo la existencia o no de restricciones de capital condiciona los tipos de jornadas que se van a realizar. El segundo es un modelo de los denominados de emparejamiento o matching donde empresas y trabajadores difieren respecto a sus preferencias acerca del horario. Como resultado del equilibrio se determina el intervalo de horarios en el que transcurren las jornadas y que se considera un indicador de la flexibilidad de horarios. AbstractThis thesis develops a theoretical analysis about the working time and its relation with the variables of the labor market. The focus of this analysis is on the work schedule and flexitime. For this purpose, we define a workday by means of two variables: the starting time and the duration. Therefore, two models are developed. The first one is a general equilibrium model with shiftwork. This model stress the relevance of the capital constraints to determine the workdays. The second model is a matching model where firms and workers have preferences over different timings. The equilibrium results in a interval in which the workday starts. This interval is considered an indicator of flexibility in the workday.Aunque se trata de un problema de programación lineal semi-infinito la medida óptima asigna masa a no más puntos que restricciones 16 . Por tanto, de las condiciones de primer orden se deduce que en las plantas con z > 0, que no pueden ser más de tres, se cumple que: 16 Hornstein y Prescott (1993).
