Part-Time Work in Poland

Part-Time Work in Poland - 2004.
81
The article starts by stating the relatively low feminization rate of part time work in Poland. On the basis of the computing of basic data of the Polish employment survey, but also of a field study that lasted three years, the hidden facts behind this reality are considered from the angle of the characteristics of part-time work in Poland, but also of the role played by working hours in the gendered segmentation of professions. Polish part time employment is not merely a gendered scorer: it is first of all a palliative to the shortcomings of the Welfare State. It forces the beneficiaries of transfer incomes to maintain a professional activity. However, working hours are a key to the understanding of the reconstruction of new gender inequalities on the workplace. Confronted with intensification and extension of working hours, men and women adopt different strategies. One of the most direct effects of this evolution is the increase of the gendered segmentation of professions and of unemployment.
