“…His results for couples are in line with previous studies like Booth and Van Ours (2009) (Booth & Van Ours, 2009). Valletta and Van Der List (2015) shows that involuntary part-time work and unemployment rises during crisis and acts sticky afterwards in the USA (Valletta & Van Der List, 2015). Borowczyk-Martins and Lalé (2020) benefits from a recent USA dataset that covers a larger period and finds that involuntary part-timers are transfers from full-time jobs and the reverse transition is unlikely even after crisis (Borowczyk-Martins & Lalé, 2020).…”

The purpose of this paper is twofold: first to provide up-to-date assessment of the characteristics of part-time employees, then to explore the factors that affect the likelihood of working part-time in Türkiye for 2005-2020 period with two probit models. Statistics show that part-timers’ share is steadily increasing, part-timers are getting younger and more educated, most part-timers are women between ages 25 and 55 and married. Results of two probit models show that, education enables employees to be a in full-time employment rather than in part-time employment yet, this effect is not as prominent for women as it is for men. However, for less educated women, part-time employment serves as a bridge between full-time employment and unemployment.

“…During the Great Recession we assisted to an unprecedented increase in involuntary part-time employment that seemed to persist at high levels years after, being documented in many technical reports (e.g. Cajner et al (2014); Valletta and Bengali (2013); Valletta and der List (2015); Walling and Clancy (2010)). In contrast to unemployment, which turned back relatively fast to pre-recessionary levels, the involuntary part-time work took several years to revert in the US and the UK (if so) (Kudlyak et al (2019); Bell and Blanchflower (2011), Bell and Blanchflower (2013), Bell and Blanchflower (2018)).…”

In this paper we test the persistence of involuntary part-time employment, making use of large historical series for the US and UK. To evaluate the robustness of our results a comprehensive macro-econometric approach, a battery of panel and time series unit root/stationarity tests were performed, also allowing for flexible specifications as fractional integration and structural breaks in the series. Our results confirm that underemployment in both countries has not returned to its pre-recession levels providing robust evidence about the existence of a long memory process in the involuntary part-time employment and a structural break in the mean of the series in the Great Recession surroundings. Importantly, the two phenomena, identified by a sudden deterministic break in the levels of the models employed and by a unit root process of order one or higher, coexist an interact together.

Increasing numbers of people are working part-time (PT) hours, sometimes involuntarily (IPT). Australia has the fourth highest percentage of PT employees among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (26%). This study examines relationships between work design factors and workplace inclusion for PT employees and identifies how perceived inclusion and work engagement of PT and IPT employees compares with full-time (FT) employees. Data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed to employees in Australia. A part-time work design model was developed and tested across two independent samples using partial least squares. Results suggest that PT and IPT employees feel less included in the workplace compared to FT employees. PT employees also perceive their roles to be less task interdependent. A key finding was that PT employees' perceived inclusion was related to proactive behaviors, autonomy, and job crafting, in addition to hours worked. Implications for the management of PT employees are discussed.
