This session aims to facilitate a scholarly exchange research on challenges for families and children across the global in the new economy. To address the ISA 2020 themes, “Inequality” and “Intersectionality”, we invite papers that examine the connection between  both parents’  employment (unsociable, unpredictable and precarious schedules and long working hours) and developmental outcomes in children and adolescents (physical health, sleep, nutrition, social and emotional wellbeing, and academic performance).  Papers that analyze longitudinal data, examine mechanisms and moderators (low income, single-parenthood, migrant families) using multidisciplinary perspectives are especially welcome. Quantitative and qualitative papers or papers using mixed methods are welcome.
