dc.description.abstractWe introduce the ideas of ?drop ceilings?, that full-time employees who switch to reducedhours thereafter face an hours ceiling such that a return to full-time employment is difficult,and of ?trap-door floors?, that full-time employees may be denied the opportunity to reducetheir hours and instead face a choice between full-time employment and quitting the job.These ideas derive from the potential existence of norms around the ideal worker andmotherhood. Relevant hypotheses are developed and tested using information on usual andpreferred working time from the first two waves of the Household, Income and LabourDynamics in Australia survey. The key findings are that women face drop ceilingssignificantly more often than men; that professionals and managers confront trap-door floorssignificantly more often than employees in other occupations; and that trap-door floor effectsare generally stronger than drop ceiling effects in the data.en
