Are part-time workers less productive and underpaid? : the impact of part-time workers on firms' productivity is unclear, and lower wages depend mainly on occupation and sector
Garnero, Andrea - 2016
About one in five workers across OECD countries is employed part-time, and the share has been steadily increasing since the beginning of the economic and financial crisis in 2007. Part-time options play an important economic role by providing more flexible working arrangements for both workers...

Working more for less : part-time penalties across the working hours distribution
Günther, Tom; Schneider, Ulrich; Stürmer-Heiber, Fabian - 2023
We use German administrative and survey data to investigate the heterogeneity of part-time penalties in hourly wages and growth rates. Exploiting tax reforms for identification, we find substantial heterogeneity in part-time wage penalties from -28.3% to -7.2% compared to full-time. The...

Promotion prospects and within-level wage growth : a decomposition of the part-time penalty for women
Ilieva, Boryana - 2023
I study the life-cycle pattern of part-time employment and its impact on wage growth in female careers. I show that the part-time wage penalty consists of two essential components: i) a penalty for promotions and ii) a within-career-level wage penalty. Using dynamic structural modeling, I...

The German part-time wage gap : bad news for men ; conference paper
Wolf, Elke - 2013
Despite the increasing occurrence of part-time employment in Germany, the effects on wage rates are rarely studied. I therefore use GSOEP panel data from 1984 to 2010 and apply different econometric approaches and definitions of part-time work to measure the so-called part-time wage gap of both,...

Full- and part-time wage differentials and female labor supply : discontinuous budget constraint and endogenous wages
Yun, Myeong-Su - 2000
We introduce a structural model which jointly estimates the full-time wage premium and female labor supply, using the piecewise-linear budget constraint method. Our model incorporates a discontinuous budget line at cut-off hours (35 hours a week), caused by the coexistence of both full- and...

Explaining the gender wage gap : estimates from a dynamic model of job changes and hours changes
Liu, Kai - 2015
I address the causes of the gender wage gap with a new dynamic model of wage, hours, and job changes that permits me to decompose the gap into a portion due to gender differences in preferences for hours of work and in constraints. The dynamic model allows the differences in constraints to...
