abstract: 'The Netherlands is often heralded for the success of its `part-time

  model'' of employment. Yet the supposed success of this model raises the

  question whether the Dutch part-time variant is the ideal gender-neutral

  policy approach. A comparative, longitudinal analysis of employment

  transitions in the Netherlands and the UK shows that while the Dutch

  part-time model may be unique, its outcomes are not. In both cases,

  gender inequality in employment transitions is evident. Gender

  inequality is apparent in Dutch care policy as well. Moreover, part-time

  work is quickly becoming the long-term norm for women''s employment, even

  for women without care responsibilities.'
