Abstract: SummaryBecause promotions are an important source of wage growth, we argue that the low incidence of promotions among part-time workers will contribute to the emergence of the part-time wage gap. We test this claim using Dutch employer-employee matched data. We find that the parttime wage gap is absent among young school leavers, but that it is well established among more mature workers. Moreover, we find that promotions account for a wage growth of about eight log points. Finally, workers in part-time jobs ex… Show more

“…They were found to be in lower skilled jobs (Gallie et al, 1998;Tam, 1997), to have lower pay (Bardasi & Gornick, 2008;Fouarge & Muffels, 2009;Gornick & Jacobs, 1996;Kalleberg et al, 2000;Manning & Petrongolo, 2008), reduced access to employment benefits, such as pensions, sick pay, health insurance and unemployment benefits (Gallie et al, 1998;Ginn & Arber, 1998;Kalleberg et al, 2000;Rubery et al, 1998), and more limited opportunities for career advancement (Gallie et al, 1998;Russo & Hassink, 2008;Tam, 1997). There has been less agreement about whether part-time work is associated with lower job security (Båvner, 2001;Gallie et al, 1998) and about whether it constitutes a 'bridge' or a 'trap' with respect to longer-term careers (Anxo et al, 2000;Blank, 1998;Blossfeld & Hakim, 1997;Buddelmeyer et al, 2005a;Connolly & Gregory, 2008Nätti, 1995;O'Reilly & Bothfeld, 2002;Smith et al, 2000;Sundström, 2003).…”

“…However, despite adding multiple explanatory factors, an unexplained part of the wage differential usually persists, which is considered the wage penalty associated with working part-time. This wage penalty could be null for young people accessing their first job (Russo and Hassik, 2008), while there is abundant evidence that the differential increases with age and especially with years worked in part-time positions (Wolf, 2014) and that wage increases over time are also lower for part-time workers (Fernández-Kranz and Rodríguez-Planas, 2011). While abundant gender analyses agree that the wage penalty is usually greater for women than for men, studies making disaggregated estimations are scarce.…”

“…Although Van der Meer compares decompositions for various years, he does not give a formal decomposition of the change in the gender wage gap over time. Russo and Hassink (2008) take a career based perspective on the wage gap. They conclude that the wage gap between men and women is an (indirect) effect of working part-time.…”
