JANEEN BAXTER; Index 330 $aThe growth in part-time employment has been one of the most striking features in industrialized economies over the past forty years. Part-Time Prospects presents for the first time a systematically comparative analysis of the common and divergent patterns in the use of part-time work in Europe, America and the Pacific Rim. It brings together sociologists and economists in this wide-ranging and comprehensive survey. It tackles such areas as gender issues, ethnic questions and the differences between certain national economies including low pay, pensions and labour standards. 606 $aPart-time employment$zEurope 606 $aPart-time employment$zNorth America 606 $aPart-time employment$zPacific Area 615 0$aPart-time employment 615 0$aPart-time employment 615 0$aPart-time employment 676 $a331.25/72 701 $aO'Reilly$b Jacqueline$f1964-$025114 701 $aFagan$b Colette$0912159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910170996803321 996 $aPart-time prospects$92042472 997 $aUNINA
