Dualisation of part-time work: the development of labour market insiders and outsiders

ePDF and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.This book brings together leading international authors from a number of fields to provide an up-to-date understanding of part-time work at national, sector, industry and workplace levels.

The contributors critically examine part-time employment in different institutional settings across Europe, the USA, Australia and Korea.

This analysis serves as a prism to investigate wider trends, particularly in female employment, including the continued increase in part-time work and processes that are increasingly creating dualisation and inequality between 'good' and 'bad' jobs.
