This article considers the effect of husbands' and wives' hours of work on each others' health. Theoretical analysis focuses on gendering of health-related behavior, the needed to promote a spouse's salubrious behavior, and the effects of work hours on the availability of time for nonwork activities. Empirical analyses are based on 1986 and 1989 longitudinal U.S. data. Fewer than 40 hours of work per week by wives has no effect on husbands' health, but more than 40 hours has substantial negative effect. Long work hours by husbands are not detrimental to wives' health. Wives' work hours shows no effect on their own health, but husbands' work hours show strong positive effect on their own health. Methodological issues are considered.
本文探讨了丈夫和妻子的工作时长对彼此健康的影响。理论分析聚焦于与健康相关行为的性别差异、促进配偶健康行为的必要性以及工作时长对非工作活动时间可获得性的影响。实证分析基于1986年和1989年美国的纵向数据。妻子每周工作时长少于40小时对丈夫的健康没有影响，但超过40小时则有显著的负面影响。丈夫的长时间工作对妻子的健康并无损害。妻子的工作时长对其自身健康没有影响，但丈夫的工作时长对其自身健康有显著的积极影响。文中还考虑了方法学问题。
