Abstract
Using individual-based panel data from the New Earnings Survey, this p aper provides a detailed analysis of the working time behaviour of Bri tish full-time male and female workers as well as part-time female wor kers. We investigate the following: male-female differences in basic a nd overtime working patterns; extensive overtime working; age-related patterns of weekly basic and overtime hours; the effects of collective bargaining on hours of work; industrial, public-private sector and oc cupational breakdowns of basic and total hours. The results for the la st three topics are based on estimates from fixed effect regressions w ith time-varying parameters.
