Analysis reveals shifts in working conditions, with increased long hours indicating health risks for women in Australia.
Between 1996 and 2018, working conditions for a cohort of Australian women of reproductive age changed significantly.

The results likely reflect a combination of modified working conditions, women's career transitions and changes in personal/caring responsibilities. The potential health implications of long working hours require careful monitoring.
