BACKGROUND: Using 24-hour narratives as a starting-point, the present study examines conditions for recovery from work. The third shift concept forms the explorative starting point for highlighting the interplay between work, family responsibilities, leisure time and recovery. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to explore how the third shift affects possibilities for recovery. METHOD: The material was gathered by group interviews and diaries. Thirty employees participated in the study. Ten participants where women between 30 and 45 years of age with children living at home. RESULTS: Being solely responsible for the third shift reduced the chances of recovery from during work-free time. The material showed that women aged 30–45 years had to a greater extent than others the main responsibility in a complex third shift. CONCLUSION: As a precondition for external recovery, this study show how theoretically beneficial the breakdown of the second shift and development of the third shift is for understanding different preconditions and the way they affect the possibility of recovery.

The modern .iystem of life gives women effort to participate in public domain and even there are several occupations which are identified as profession for the women. In relation to the gender, especially with regard to married women in handling domestic tasks, it is very important to elaborate whether or not such social development actually supports gender equity. This is the big question that will be answered by this research. To do so, this research is only focused on how married female employees in Banyumas regency take part in handling education for their children. At the end, this research led to three conclusions. First, married female employees in Banyumas regency tend to correspond with feminist paint of view or at least functionalist point of view. None of them supported patriarchal point of view. However, the second conclusion indicated that such attitude did not undermine their responsibility to take part in educating their children. The third conclusion found that the main reason for that is they enjoy performing their double tasks, both as mothers and employees.

Chapter 5 presents dual expectations women pastors face in relation to their pastoral responsibilities at work as well as how they go about being a wife and mother, commonly referred to as the “second shift.” Women pastors are often expected to take on the lion’s share of household responsibilities. Therefore, congregants assume that they are pulled more between home and work than men, thus resulting in congregants doubting their ability to do it all. Finally, Chapter 5 demonstrates the traditional role of pastor’s wife and how some congregants implicitly assume that the work of pastors will be complemented by the unpaid work of their spouses. Pastors’ wives typically face more congregational expectations than pastors’ husbands, often leaving women pastors in heteronormative relationships to pick up some of the traditional pastor’s wife responsibilities in addition to their own responsibilities both at home and work; I refer to this phenomenon as the “third shift.”
