TitlePart-time pay penalty
Date2000
Material typeResearch Report
AbstractThe study findings show that British women working part-time earn an average 22 per cent less than those working full-time because of the lack of high-quality part-time jobs available. The part-time pay penalty suggests that some women are forced to make a shift to jobs paid at a lower rate to work part-time, and as a result cannot make the most of their skills and experience.
