Recent developments in part-time employment

Katalin Bodnár

Economic Bulletin Boxes, 2018, vol. 2

Abstract: In the euro area, there has been an increasing reliance on part-time work. The share of part-time workers is now about 22% of total employment, and part-time work has accounted for about one quarter of net employment growth over the euro area labour market recovery (starting in the second quarter of 2013). This box examines the latest developments and the characteristics of the two main groups of part-time workers: underemployed and non-underemployed part-time workers. JEL Classification: J01, J21
