abstract: 'The article presents an analysis of the association between labor market

  characteristics related to female employment and the prevalence of

  in-work poverty. We compare two relative measures of in-work poverty:

  The individual definition refers to workers whose salary is below 60\%

  of the median, while the household-level definition refers to

  individuals whose household income is below 60\% of the median.

  Microdata from the 2014 EU-SILC survey and macrodata on involuntary

  part-time employment and female labor market participation are used to

  perform a multilevel analysis on 31 European countries. The results show

  a positive relationship between involuntary part-time work and in-work

  poverty according to the household definition. Female labor market

  participation is positively associated with the individual definition

  and negatively with the household one. However, after controlling for

  the level of within-country income inequality, only the effect of the

  female employment rate remains positive and significant for the

  individual in-work. These results shed light on the multifaceted role of

  labor market characteristics related to female employment and their

  implications for policy. We argue that the promotion of female

  participation should be combined with explicit measures to reduce the

  disadvantageous position of women in the labor market.'
