| Abstract: | This article presents a study of the extent to which type and duration of labour force attachment add to the explanatory power of psychological, demographic and family household characteristics to predict voluntary vs. involuntary part-time employment of women in the United States. Findings suggest that involuntarily part-time employed women appear to be settling for what they can get, namely part-time rather than full-time jobs and that unmarried part-timers may be viewed as a stigmatised or marginal group more likely to be employed in the public rather than private sector. |
