As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carded out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re­entering the job market after having had children，but they chose not to seek part­time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full­time work after a long absence.

　　The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one­position jobs. However，to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job­shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.
