PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT IN SWITZERLAND - IRENKA KR...

In recent labour market history  one of the most striking features has been the increase in
part-time employment. In Switzerland  one person out of three works part-time. 57% of women
work part-time compared to only 13% of men. This disparity between women and men is one of the
highest worldwide. At the same time  differences in the level of education between genders are
disappearing. Given the magnitude of this phenomenon  new questions and challenges need to be
addressed. By presenting several econometrical models and taking into account historical and
social gender focused behaviors  the author analyzes the impact of part-time employment on
earning disparities  labour market segmentation and the probability of being promoted to a
higher level of responsibility. While introducing ways to improve the situation for part-timers
the author examines innovative models of work organization such as job-sharing  top-sharing 
functional flexibility and project team rotations. Beyond demonstrating the need for changes
within public and private companies  the book also reveals concrete instruments on policy which
could facilitate the implementation of such innovative models.
