Stimulating part-time work by legal entitlements?

Abstract

"Difference-in-difference estimates indicate that the new law on part-time work in Germany has raised the share of part-time workers in those plants that already used part-time employment whereas it has not stimulated the introduction of part-time work in other plants." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
