Synopsis
This book brings together international experts on welfare-state research, gender equality, labor, industrial relations, migration, and integration to provide a detailed and contemporary understanding of part-time work at national, sector, industry and workplace levels. Part-time work is critically examined, serving as a prism to analyze wider trends--particularly in employment for women--including the continued increase in part-time work and processes that lead to increased labor inequality. The contributors consider part-time employment in different institutional settings across Europe, the United States, Australia, and Korea.
