Abstract
This paper assesses the salience of the distinction between full-time and part-time work for the crossnational analysis of divisions within the female labour force. Occupational, household, and attitudinal data from the European Union labour-force survey are used to consider the similarity and difference between member states in the extent and form of part-time work and in the supply of labour for part time work. Part-timers are found to be more segregated than full-timers in every country, even though there are important country differences in the character of these jobs and workers across European labour markets. The conclusion is that the part-time-full-time divide is an important variable which captures a polarization in the experience of employment between different groups of women. However, the nature of the ‘part-time divide’ within the female labour force and the incidence of part-time work varies across countries and over time. Therefore, comparative research cannot simply focus upon full-timers if it is to develop an adequate interpretation of trends in segregation and the labour-market outcomes for women. Instead comparisons must separate full-timers from part-timers, but analyse them together. © Oxford University Press « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article Eur Sociol Rev (1996) 12 (3): 227-250. » Abstract Free Full Text (PDF) Classifications Article Services Article metrics Alert me when cited Alert me if corrected Find similar articles Similar articles in Web of Science Add to my archive Download citation Request Permissions Citing Articles Load citing article information Citing articles via CrossRef Citing articles via Scopus Citing articles via Web of Science Citing articles via Google Scholar Google Scholar Articles by Fagan, C.
