چکیده
This paper uses the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) to analyze individuals' choices on part-time jobs and their impacts on the hourly wages. Our study is a comparative study between Great Britain and the Netherlands. In contrast to most previous researches on part-time employment, we make a distinction between short part-time and long part-time jobs. The results show that overall women were more likely to work part-time in both countries, but the effect in the Netherlands was much stronger than in Great Britain. We find that there was no substantial wage gap between long part-time and full-time jobs in the Netherlands, working long part-time were more likely to be treated as full-time jobs, which may suggest the presence of " retention part-time jobs " described by Tilly (1996). On the other hand, the results show that part-time workers in Great Britain suffered relatively larger wage penalties, working short part-time was not significantly different from working long part-time, both received lower wage rates compared to full-time jobs.
