Women's part-time jobs: "Flexirisky" employment in five European countries (2014)
Blazquez-Cuesta, Maite; Moral Carcedo, Julian;Zitatform
Blazquez-Cuesta, Maite & Julian Moral Carcedo (2014): Women's part-time jobs: "Flexirisky" employment in five European countries. In: International Labour Review, Jg. 150, H. 2, S. 269-292. DOI:10.1111/j.1564-913X.2014.00204.x
Abstract
"European countries currently have segmented labour markets with flexible but insecure - 'flexirisky' - jobs, resulting in significant inequality between different categories of workers. Part-time jobs are one example: their flexibility may help workers reconcile work and family life, and increase women's labour force participation, but part-time employment can also result in new forms of inequality, thereby undermining EU equal opportunity policies. Empirically analysing labour market transitions in Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, this article Shows part-timers - who are mostly women - to be at higher risk of unemployment. lt calls for strengthening equality between part-time and full-time workers in terms of employment stability."

The impact of hours flexibility on career employment, bridge jobs, and the timing of retirement (2014)

Cahill, Kevin E., Michael D. Giandrea & Joseph F. Quinn (2014): The impact of hours flexibility on career employment, bridge jobs, and the timing of retirement. (BLS working paper 472), Washington, DC, 38 S.
Abstract
"To what extent does hours flexibility in career employment impact the retirement process? Workplace flexibility policies have the potential to improve both the welfare of employees and the business outcomes of employers. These policies, and hours flexibility in particular for older Americans, have also been touted as a way to reduce turnover. For older Americans, reductions in turnover could mean more years in career employment, fewer years in bridge employment, and little or no impact on the timing of retirement. Alternatively, hours flexibility in career employment could lead to longer working lives and delayed retirements. The distinction between the two outcomes is important if hours flexibility policies, such as phased retirement, are to be considered an option for alleviating the strains of an aging society. This paper describes how hours flexibility in career employment impacts the retirement patterns of older Americans. We use data on three cohorts of older Americans from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a large nationally-representative dataset that began in 1992. We explore the extent to which hours flexibility arrangements are available and utilized in career employment and explore the extent to which such arrangements impact job transitions later in life. We find that bridge job prevalence is higher among those with access to hours flexibility in career employment compared to those without hours flexibility. Further, while we find mixed evidence that hours flexibility extends time in career employment, we do find that hours flexibility in career employment is associated with longer tenure on bridge jobs. Taken together these results suggest that hours flexibility in career employment is associated with extended work lives, particularly in post-career employment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Humpert, Stephan (2014): Working time, satisfaction and work life balance. A European perspective. (Universität Lüneburg. Working paper series in economics 327), Lüneburg, 25 S.
Abstract
"Using three different measures for satisfaction, I investigate gender-specific differences in working time mismatch. While male satisfaction with life or job is slightly not effected by working more or less hours, only over-time lowers male work life balance significantly. Women are more sensitive to the amount of working hours. They prefer part-time employment and are dissatisfied with both changes towards over-time and under-time."

Working time flexibility and autonomy: Facilitating time adequacy?: a European perspective (2014)
Zitatform
Lott, Yvonne (2014): Working time flexibility and autonomy: Facilitating time adequacy? A European perspective. (WSI-Diskussionspapier 190), Düsseldorf, 20 S.
Abstract
"This study examines the effect of working time flexibility and autonomy on time adequacy using the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) in 2010. Drawing on gender theory and welfare state theory, gender differences and the institutional contexts of the UK, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands are taken into account. The study reveals that time arrangements have gendered meanings. While working time flexibility and autonomy are positively related to time adequacy for women, men tend to experience overtime and work intensification in connection with working time autonomy. Furthermore, working time regimes also shape time arrangements. In the UK, employees have time adequacy primarily when they work fixed hours, while in the Netherlands, employees profit most from working time autonomy. Moreover, unlike in Germany and the UK, men and women in the Netherlands and Sweden benefit more equally from working time flexibility and autonomy." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Using the European Union Statistics an Income and Living Conditions data for the year 2009, the authors evaluate how vertical and horizontal job segregation explains the differential between fulltime and part-time pay for prime-age women in four European countries: Austria, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom. The selected countries are representative of different welfare state regimes, Labor market regulations, and extents and forms of parttime employment. Full-time hourly wages exceed part-time hourly wages, especially in market-oriented economies, such as Poland and the United Kingdom. Results using the Neuman-Oaxaca decomposition methods show that most of the full-time -- part-time wage gap is driven by job segregation, especially its vertical dimension. Vertical segregation explains an especially large Part of the pay gap in Poland and die United Kingdom, where, more than elsewhere, part-timers are concentrated in low-skilled occupations and the wage disparities across occupations are quite large."

In: International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Jg. 55, H. 3, S. 185-203. DOI:10.1177/0020715214543541
Abstract
"This study uses the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) 2013 'Family and Changing Gender Roles' module (N?=?1773) to examine cross-country differences in the relationship between women's part-time work and work - life conflict and job satisfaction. We hypothesize that part-time work will lead to less favorable outcomes in countries with employment policies that are less protective of part-time employees because the effects of occupational downgrading counteract the benefits of increased time availability. Our comparison focuses on the Netherlands and Australia while using Germany, the United Kingdom, and Sweden as benchmarks. Part-time employment is prevalent in all five countries, but has the most support and protection in the Dutch labor market. We find little evidence that country of residence conditions the effects of part-time work. Overall, the results suggest that part-time work reduces work-life conflict to a similar extent in all countries except Sweden. The effects on job satisfaction are negligible. We discuss the implications for social policies meant to stimulate female labor force participation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Revision der IAB-Arbeitszeitrechnung 2014: Grundlagen, methodische Weiterentwicklungen sowie ausgewählte Ergebnisse im Rahmen der Revision der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnungen (2014)
Zitatform
Wanger, Susanne, Roland Weigand & Ines Zapf (2014): Revision der IAB-Arbeitszeitrechnung 2014. Grundlagen, methodische Weiterentwicklungen sowie ausgewählte Ergebnisse im Rahmen der Revision der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnungen. (IAB-Forschungsbericht 09/2014), Nürnberg, 51 S.
Abstract
"In diesem Forschungsbericht wird über den Anlass, die Methodik und die Ergebnisse der großen Revision 2014 der IAB-Arbeitszeitrechnung (AZR) im Rahmen der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnungen (VGR) für den Zeitraum 1991 bis 2013 berichtet. Im Rahmen der AZR, die in die VGR eingebunden ist, werden regelmäßig lange, vergleichbare Zeitreihen zur sektorspezifischen Arbeitszeit und zu den geleisteten Arbeitsstunden in Deutschland bereitgestellt. Da für die AZR auch die für die VGR verbindlichen Konzepte und Definitionen maßgeblich sind, ergeben sich aus der Generalrevision der VGR 2014 auch hier Änderungen bei bestehenden Konzepten, Methoden und Zeitreihen. Die VGR-Revision wird außerdem zum Anlass genommen, Berechnungsmethoden und Quellen der gesamten AZR zu überarbeiten und aktualisieren.
Ein Schwerpunkt bei den methodischen Änderungen ist die Einführung moderner Verfahren der Zeitreihenanalyse. Durch strukturelle Zeitreihenmodelle mehrerer Variablen in Zusammenhang mit Zustandsraummethoden lassen sich alle verfügbaren Informationen zeitnah und effizient für die Schätzung verschiedener Komponenten der Arbeitszeit ausnutzen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird ein neuer Ansatz vorgeschlagen, der durch eine vorgeschaltete Hauptkomponentenanalyse den Informationsgehalt einer Vielzahl von relevanten Zeitreihen für die strukturelle Zeitreihenanalyse zugängig macht, was andernfalls nur mit größtem rechnerischen Aufwand möglich wäre.
Im Folgenden wird zunächst kurz die Grundkonzeption der AZR vorgestellt und dargelegt, welche Änderungen die anstehende VGR-Revision mit sich bringt und welche Auswirkung diese auf die IAB-AZR haben. Insbesondere werden die Grundzüge der neuen Berechnungsmethoden skizziert und methodische Weiterentwicklungen sowie Schätzungen zu betroffenen Arbeitszeitkomponenten vorgestellt. Daran schließt sich ein Abschnitt mit den wichtigsten Revisionsergebnissen der AZR für das Zeitfenster 1991 bis 2013 an und stellt diesen die unrevidierten Ergebnisse gegenüber."

Women's employment in Germany: robust in crisis but vulnerable in job quality (2014)

Abstract
"The paper seeks to provide some insights into the trends and patterns of female employment in Germany and their underlying institutional framework. It is argued that the main challenge facing female employment in Germany is often the low quality of jobs. The so-called German 'employment miracle' has been accompanied by a rising prevalence of low hourly pay and atypical work forms in recent years. Women's employment growth is primarily based on a steadily rising numbers of part-time and mini-jobs - a very particular German institution that provides incentives to keep the monthly earnings below EURO450. It is argued that real progress to more gender equality in the German labour market has been hindered by the institutional framework which still remains very ambiguous and inconsistent, as regards the role of women in the labour market."

Abstract
"We investigate the aggregate-level effects of parental leave legislation on various labour market outcomes of women in 16 European countries for the period between 1970 and 2010. The paper updates and extends previous findings in the literature. The results show increases in participation rates that diminish with length and generosity of leave schemes. While pure participation numbers may not increase dramatically, there is strong evidence of increases in weekly working hours. On the other hand, a decrease in wages for high-skilled women and amplified occupational segregation are possible results of long parental leave schemes. We conclude with a discussion of the recent debates over extending minimum maternity and parental leave rights on the European level." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Experimental tests of dynamically inconsistent time preferences have largely relied on choices over time-dated monetary rewards. Several recent studies have failed to find the standard patterns of time inconsistency. However, such monetary studies contain often discussed confounds. In this paper, we sidestep these confounds and investigate choices over consumption (real effort) in a longitudinal experiment. We pair those effort choices with a companion monetary discounting study. We confirm very limited time inconsistency in monetary choices. However, subjects show considerably more present bias in effort. Furthermore, present bias in the allocation of work has predictive power for demand of a meaningfully binding commitment device. Therefore our findings validate a key implication of models of dynamic inconsistency, with corresponding policy implications." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Mit der bundesweiten Einführung des Elterngeldes für Geburten ab dem 1.1.2007 wurde das Erziehungsgeld abgelöst. An die Stelle eines Transfers, der nach Prüfung der Bedürftigkeit gezahlt wurde, trat eine Einkommensersatzleistung. Zudem wurde die Bezugsdauer von maximal zwei Jahren auf in der Regel 12 oder 14 Monate gekürzt. Mit zwei 'Partnermonaten' wurden zusätzlich Anreize für Eltern geschaffen, die Elternzeit untereinander aufzuteilen. Nachdem frühere Reformen des Erziehungsgeldes oder der Elternzeit in der Regel dazu führten, dass Mütter zunehmend länger dem Arbeitsmarkt fern blieben, sind mit dieser Reform erstmalig für bestimmte Gruppen Anreize geschaffen, früher in das Erwerbsleben zurückzukehren. Vier Jahre nach Einführung des Elterngelds hat das DIW Berlin die Auswirkungen des Elterngeldes auf die Erwerbstätigkeit von Müttern untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Erwerbstätigkeit von Müttern mit Kindern im ersten Lebensjahr zwar zurückgegangen ist. Mütter mit Kindern im zweiten Lebensjahr haben jedoch aufgrund der Einführung des Elterngeldes eine höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit, in den Beruf zurückzukehren. Die positiven Effekte der Erwerbsbeteiligung finden wir insbesondere für Mütter mit niedrigen Einkommen und für Mütter in Ostdeutschland." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"We evaluate reforms to the U.S. tax system in a life cycle set-up with heterogeneous married and single households and with an operative extensive margin in labour supply. We restrict our model with observations on gender and skill premia, labour-force participation of married females across skill groups, children, and the structure of marital sorting. We concentrate on two revenue-neutral tax reforms: a proportional income tax and a reform in which married individuals file taxes separately (separate filing). Our findings indicate that tax reforms are accompanied by large increases in labour supply that differ across demographic groups, with the bulk of the increase coming from married females. Under a proportional income tax reform, married females account for more than 50% of the changes in hours across steady states, while under separate filing reform, married females account for all the change in hours."

Abstract
"Starting in the 1970's, wage inequality and the number of hours worked by employed U.S. prime-age male workers have both increased. We argue that these two facts are related. We use a labour market model with on-the-job search where by working longer hours individuals acquire greater skills. Since job candidates are ranked by productivity, greater skills not only increase worker's productivity in the current job but also help the worker to obtain better jobs. When job offers become more dispersed, wage inequality increases and workers work longer hours to obtain better jobs. As a result, average hours per worker in the economy increase. This mechanism accounts for around two-thirds of the increase in hours observed in data. Part of the increase is inefficient since workers obtain better jobs at the expense of other workers competing for the same jobs." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In economic theory, it is typically assumed that there is a 'disutility of labour'. However, empirical research on subjective well-being has consistently shown that unemployed people are less happy than employed people, even after taking income differences into account. In this paper, we attempt to reconcile both findings. We show that happiness and work hours exhibit an inverse U-shaped relation - working longer raises the level of happiness, as long as the total working time is not too long. Hence, working can be beneficial for happiness and, at the same time, it can exert a disutility at the margin." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper contributes to the telework literature by investigating empirically the impact of social influence on the decision to telework. An innovative web-based telework survey was developed and used to obtain data from a sample of employees of a large postsecondary institution in Ontario, Canada, between January and March 2009. A unique feature of the survey instrument is that it allowed employees to easily construct their workplace social networks. Using a univariate (binary) probit model, we identify three mutually exclusive sources of social influence on the decision to telework: friends who telework, neighbors who telework, and colleagues at the workplace. With respect to colleagues, we find that the net impact of social influence is governed by both the composition and the size of an employee's workplace social network. Composition is captured by interacting telework status with relationship strength." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This study investigated employees' motives for using two types of flexible work arrangements (FWA), flextime and flexplace. Using a sample of workers with high job flexibility (university academics), we examined both the prevalence of different motives (life management and work-related) and how these motives vary according to several individual differences (gender, family responsibility, marital status, and work-nonwork segmentation preferences). Overall, results indicated that employees are more driven to use FWA by work-related motives than by life management motives. Those with greater family responsibilities and those married/living with a partner were more likely to endorse life management motives, whereas individuals with greater segmentation preferences were more motivated to use FWA by work-related motives. Findings regarding gender were contrary to expectations based on traditional gender roles, as there were no gender differences in life management motives but women more highly endorsed work-related motives than did men. The main implications of the findings are that individuals recognize FWA as not only a work-family policy, but also as a potential means to increase productivity. Individual differences relate to why workers use available flexible policies. Additional theoretical and practical implications are discussed." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Labour market effects of parental leave policies in OECD countries (2012)

Thévenon, Olivier & Anne Solaz (2012): Labour market effects of parental leave policies in OECD countries. (OECD social, employment and migration working papers 141), Paris, 67 S. DOI:10.1787/5k8xb6hw1wjf-en
Abstract
"This paper considers how entitlements to paid leave after the birth of children affect female labour market outcomes across countries. Such entitlements are granted for various lengths of time and paid at different rates, reflecting the influence of different objectives including: enhancing children's wellbeing, promoting labour supply, furthering gender equality in labour market outcomes, as well as budget constraints. Although parental care is beneficial for children, there are concerns about the consequences of prolonged periods of leave for labour market outcomes and gender equality. This paper therefore looks at the long-run consequences of extended paid leave on female, male, and gender differences in prime-age (25-54) employment rates, average working hours, and earnings in 30 OECD countries from 1970 to 2010.
It finds that extensions of paid leave lengths have a positive, albeit small, influence on female employment rates and on the gender ratio of employment, as long as the total period of paid leave is no longer than approximately two years. Additional weeks of leave, however, exert a negative effect on female employment and the gender employment gap. This paper also finds that weeks of paid leave positively affect the average number of hours worked by women relative to men, though on condition - once again - that the total duration of leave does not exceed certain limits. By contrast, the provision of paid leave widens the earnings gender gap among full-time employees." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) -

"This paper documents the key stylised facts underlying the evolution of labour supply at the extensive and intensive margins in the last forty years in three countries: United-States, United-Kingdom and France. We develop a statistical decomposition that provides bounds on changes at the extensive and intensive margins. This decomposition is also shown to be coherent with the analysis of labour supply elasticities at these margins. We use detailed representative micro-datasets to examine the relative importance of the extensive and intensive margins in explaining the overall changes in total hours worked."
