Abstract | More time spent on paid and domestic work means less potential study time so students in employment and with domestic responsibilities may be at some disadvantage compared to full-time, unencumbered students. Previous studies of the impacts of paid employment on student results have not produced consistent evidence of positive or negative effects. This study extends such work to include the domestic situation and in particular the time spent on domestic work. Other social variables related to educational background and current living situation are included in the study in order to develop a more comprehensive model of the impact of study context on achievement. |
