abstract: 'Most OECD countries have experienced an increase of female part-time
employment in the last decades. It has been argued that part-time work
may give greater employment flexibility, enabling mothers to reconcile
conflicting demands of family and work and thereby facilitating their
integration into the wage economy. At the same time, it has been
suggested that female part-time work implies segmentation of the labour
force into a core and a periphery, with marginalized, low qualified jobs
for part-time employees. However, little attention has been given to the
possible mediating effect of the institutional context on potential job
quality disadvantages of part-timers. We examine this question by
comparing the skills and autonomy of female part-time workers in two
countries, Britain and Sweden, often considered as representing quite
distinct forms of institutional regime. The results show that female
part-time employees in Sweden hold positions of higher skill and have
more autonomy compared to their equivalents in Britain. Even so, both
British and Swedish part-time employees face relative disadvantage when
compared to female full-time workers. We conclude that differences in
the institutional systems of Sweden and Britain do have a significant
effect on the absolute skill level of part-time work. However, the
relative disadvantage of part-timers persists despite Swedish policies
giving greater salience to improvements in the quality of work. (C) 2011
