“…see Leccardi, 1996), a set of questions often addressed in relation to specific subject positions, such as women workers (e.g. Jurczyk, 1998). In this article, I explore the relationship between different temporal orderings from the perspective of both the members and the schemes, focusing on the character of these orderings as normative formations.…”

Time against time: Normative temporalities and the failure of community labour in Local Exchange Trading Schemes

Why did Local Exchange and Trading Schemes (LETS) fail to realise their promise in 1990s Britain? This article argues that a core reason was the inability to make community labour, a concept at the heart of LETS logic, function as a selfperpetuating dynamic, in which community bonding would encourage trade and trade in turn would build community. In exploring reasons for this failure, the article focuses on the centrifugal pull of two contrasting temporalities: community time and labour-market time. And in understanding why these two, normative, temporal orders were unable to combine, cohere or simply to coexist, the article addresses three factors: failure in design; individual member responsibility; and wider temporal pressures.

“…Hence, we can define time as a scarce resource with biographical and structural variation, determining individual participation in educational activities due to its availability. Time as a scarce resource can therefore be understood as a factor of social inequality with regard to individual participation ALE (Jurczyk, 1998;Alhadeff-Jones, 2010).…”

Educational Leave as a Time Resource for Participation in Adult Learning and Education (ALE)

The study investigates effects of the implementation of a law authorizing educational leave in Germany on individual participation in adult learning and education (ALE). In 2015, the federal state of Baden-Württemberg introduced the so-called Bildungszeitgesetz, legitimating an exemption for eligible employees of up to 5 days per year with continued payment of salary. Explaining participation in ALE is a central subject of educational research at national and international level. Current theoretical assumptions of rational choice and empirical findings of educational and socio-statistical research suggest that within the general population, individuals' availability of time affects the decision to participate and therefore lastly determines participation in ALE. However, current academia mainly discusses time as either a prerequisite for learning activities or as an observable outcome of participation and not as an explanatory factor. Furthermore, since recent studies remain on a descriptive level regarding influences of time on participation in ALE, no causal effects of the availability of time on participation are estimated. Hence, our study addresses this research gap by investigating effects of educational policy interventions such as the Bildungszeitgesetz on participation in ALE. Policy interventions are ideally suited to examine the significance of time resources for participation, as the implementation of the Bildungszeitgesetz provides a specific timeframe for employees to participate in ALE outside of their working time. Drawing on data from the German National Educational Panel Study, we employ a difference-indifferences estimation strategy with propensity score matching and instrumental variable to identify the direct causal effect of the implementation of the Bildungszeitgesetz on participation in ALE (N = 709). This combination toward causal inference controls for observed and unobserved baseline differences as well as heterogeneous treatment effects. The results reveal a non-significant but heterogeneous treatment effect of the implementation of the Bildungszeitgesetz on individual participation in ALE. Contrary to our theoretical assumptions derived from rational choice approaches, we cannot confirm the hypothesis that the availability of time resources due to the implementation of the Bildungszeitgesetz causes a positive effect on participation in ALE. Furthermore, the results reveal that the implementation causes decreasing participation rates for younger adults, women and significantly for migrants.

“…Care work, with its orientation towards the needs and intentions of others, is structured in a profoundly different manner than the sphere of employment, where profit, competition, and efficiency reign as the guiding principles. Therefore, reconciling employment with private life is more conflicted for women than it is for men (Jurczyk 1998). While private and working life add up in a positive way for hegemonic masculinity and men, femininity and women are confronted more strongly with the question of whether and in which phases they should give preference to either one or the other (Becker-Schmidt 2002: 41-42).…”

Gender Relations at the Digitalised Workplace: The Interrelation Between Digitalisation, Gender, and Work

Innovative leaps in digital technology alongside changing gender roles in society may open a window of opportunity to renegotiate gendered work patterns. The main question addressed in this article is the extent to which digitalisation holds the potential to reorganise gendered work relations, and if so why. First, we elaborate on the interrelation between work and gender in capitalist societies. Our main argument is that digitalisation is shifting the boundaries between paid and unpaid labour with far-reaching repercussions for women and men. Second, we will identify core digitalisation processes capable of overcoming or changing gendered work patterns. These include automation, the platform economy, and the interactive processes by which a value is assigned to work. We discuss these three processes and their implications for gender inequalities by means of examples based on current literature.
