  • explaining the growth of Part Time Employment factors of supply and demand
    Labour, 2006
    Co-Authors: Rob Euwals, Maurice Hogerbrugge
    Abstract:

    Using the Dutch Labour Force Survey 1991-2001, the authors investigate the incidence of Part-Time Employment in the country with the highest Part-Time Employment rate of the OECD countries. Women fulfil most Part-Time jobs, but a considerable fraction of men works Part-Time as well. Evidence from descriptive statistics and a macro-econometric model at the sectoral level of industry suggests that the growth of Part-Time Employment in the 1990s relates strongly to the growth in female labour force Participation. Factors of labour demand, like the shift from manufacturing to services and the increase in the demand for flexible labour, turn out to play a significant role as well.

  • Explaining the Growth of Part-Time Employment: Factors of Supply and Demand
    2004
    Co-Authors: Rob Euwals, Maurice Hogerbrugge
    Abstract:

    Using the Dutch Labour Force Survey 1991-2001, the authors investigate the incidence of Part-Time Employment in the country with the highest Part-Time Employment rate of the OECD countries. Women fulfil most Part-Time jobs, but nevertheless a considerable fraction of men works Part-Time as well. Evidence from descriptive statistics and a macro-econometric model at the sectoral level of industry suggests that the growth of Part-Time Employment in the 1990s relates strongly to the growth in female labour force Participation. Factors of labour demand, like the shift from manufacturing to services, turn out to play a significant role as well.

  • Is Part‐Time Employment a Stepping Stone to Full‐Time Employment?
    Economic Record, 2014
    Co-Authors: Lixin Cai, Vincent Law, Michael Bathgate
    Abstract:

    This study examines the stepping stone effect of Part-Time Employment for working-age Australians. Using the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, the study finds that Part-Time Employment increases the probability of future full-Time Employment by approximately nine percentage points for males and approximately six percentage points for females, compared to those who were initially not in the labour force, after observed and unobserved individual heterogeneity is accounted for. However, Part-Time Employment does not appear to have a stepping stone effect when compared with unEmployment.

  • Is Part-Time Employment Beneficial for Firm Productivity?
    ILR Review, 2013
    Co-Authors: A.c. Künn-nelen, Andries De Grip, Didier Fouarge
    Abstract:

    This paper analyzes whether Part-Time Employment is beneficial for firm productivity in the service sector. Using a unique dataset on the Dutch pharmacy sector that includes the work hours of all employees and a “hard” physical measure of firm productivity, we estimate a production function including heterogeneous Employment shares based on work hours. We find that a larger Part-Time Employment share leads to greater firm productivity. Additional data on the timing of labor demand show that Part-Time Employment enables firms to allocate labor more efficiently. First, firms with Part-Time workers can bridge the gap between opening hours and a full-Time work week. Second, we find that during opening hours Part-Time workers are scheduled differently than full-Timers. For example, we find that Part-Time workers enable their full-Time colleagues to take lunch breaks so that the firm can remain open during these Times.

  • Is Part-Time Employment beneficial for firm productivity?
    ILR Review, 2013
    Co-Authors: A.c. Künn-nelen, Andries De Grip, Didier Fouarge
    Abstract:

    With this article, the authors are the first to analyze and explain the relationship between Part-Time Employment and firm productivity. Using a unique data set on the Dutch pharmacy sector that includes the working hours of all employees and a "hard" physical measure of firm productivity, the authors estimate a production function including heterogeneous Employment shares based on working hours. The authors find that firms with a large Part-Time Employment share are more productive than firms with a large share of full-Time workers: a 10% increase in the Part-Time share is associated with 4.8% higher productivity. Additional data on the timing of labor demand show that this can be explained by a different allocation of Part-Timers compared with full-Timers. This enables firms with large Part-Time Employment shares to allocate their labor force more efficiently across working days. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

  • Good, bad, and not so sad Part-Time Employment
    Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2018
    Co-Authors: Victor Y. Haines, Pascal Doray-demers, Vivianne Martin
    Abstract:

    Abstract With increases in Part-Time Employment, the need to understand its diverse forms is growing. The aim of this study is to develop a typology of Part-Time Employment on the basis of role occupancy and work characteristics. Latent class analysis was applied to data from a sample of 1826 Part-Time workers. The pattern of conditional probabilities suggests four types of Part-Time Employment: Good, bad, student, and transition. Further analysis indicates that gender, age, education, seniority, and work experience are correlates of being in one or other types of Part-Time Employment. Finally, good Part-Time Employment is associated with higher job satisfaction and health although better health is reported in student Part-Time Employment.

  • Is There Evidence Of A Wage Penalty To Female Part‐Time Employment In South Africa?
    South African Journal of Economics, 2008
    Co-Authors: Dorrit Posel, Colette Muller
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we investigate female Part-Time Employment in South Africa. Using household survey data for South Africa from 1995 to 2004, we show that women are over-represented in Part-Time Employment, and that the growth in Part-Time work has been an important feature of the feminisation of the labour force. In contrast to many studies of Part-Time work in other countries, however, we find evidence of a significant wage premium to female Part-Time Employment. The premium is robust also to fixed effects estimations using Labour Force Survey panel data from 2001 to 2004, where controlling for unobservable differences increases its size. The premium persists with different hourly thresholds defining Part-Time Employment and when we account for possible reporting errors in hours worked.
