Note: Asterisks denote tested significant at **p<0.01, *p<0.05, +p<0.1. The coefficient estimates are for the response to the question, “How often do you feel that the demands of your job interfere with your family life?” Demographic control variables are included but not reported. When measured with a time-use question (not shown in the table), those wishing to spend less time at paid work had significantly greater job-family conflict, while those who wanted more time at work had less conflict, but not significantly so.
