A snapshot on part-time work in Europe
(DUBLIN, IRELAND) Part-time employment option has increased across the European Union over the past two decades, but there are differences between the EU Member States. Social policymakers and social partners drive this trend in efforts to increase flexibility, but how does this affect workers and employers? A new report ‘Part-time work in Europe’ out today brings together the results of two European-wide surveys to provide a snapshot of part-time work, presenting both the company and the employee point of view.
Part-time employment has been increasing in Europe for the past two decades. This is especially true for countries where different working time arrangements have been discussed among policymakers and social partners as a way to increase flexibility. Part-time work may have both positive and negative effects for workers and employers. A new report ‘Part-time work in Europe’ out today draws on the results of the second European Company Survey to highlight both perspectives.
Non-standard employment and, more particularly, part-time work has been increasing worldwide for the past two decades. This trend has been especially strong in Europe, where the issue of different working time arrangements is an important part of the discussion among policymakers and social partners, and something which the European Union (EU) has promoted to increase flexibility for workers and employers. However, part-time work is spread very unevenly across Member States, reflecting differences in legislation, infrastructure and cultural conventions.
