abstract: 'This study uses the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) 2013
|
|
|
|
Family and Changing Gender Roles'' module (N=1773) to examine
|
|
|
|
cross-country differences in the relationship between women''s part-time
|
|
|
|
work and work-life conflict and job satisfaction. We hypothesize that
|
|
|
|
part-time work will lead to less favorable outcomes in countries with
|
|
|
|
employment policies that are less protective of part-time employees
|
|
|
|
because the effects of occupational downgrading counteract the benefits
|
|
|
|
of increased time availability. Our comparison focuses on the
|
|
|
|
Netherlands and Australia while using Germany, the United Kingdom, and
|
|
|
|
Sweden as benchmarks. Part-time employment is prevalent in all five
|
|
|
|
countries, but has the most support and protection in the Dutch labor
|
|
|
|
market. We find little evidence that country of residence conditions the
|
|
|
|
effects of part-time work. Overall, the results suggest that part-time
|
|
|
|
work reduces work-life conflict to a similar extent in all countries
|
|
|
|
except Sweden. The effects on job satisfaction are negligible. We
|
|
|
|
discuss the implications for social policies meant to stimulate female
|
|
|
|
labor force participation.'
