- Description
- In the Netherlands a high female employment rate is combined with a high part-time employment rate. Lower marginal tax rates for partners and better childcare facilities have not led to more working hours. In this study the development of working hours is investigated over successive generations of women, using the Dutch Labour Force study 1992-2005. There is evidence of increasing propensity to work part-time over the successive generations, and a decreasing propensity to work full-time for the generations born after the early 1950s.
