| Tiivistelmä: | Using comparable micro-data from the Luxemburg Income Study (LIS), this article examines wage gaps between part- and full-time women employees in Canada, Germany, Italy, Sweden, the UK, and the US in the mid-1990s. The study consist of the assessment of cross-national variation in the direction, magnitude, and composition of the part-time/full-time wage differential, and of variation in occupational segregation between part- and full-time workers. The results reveal a part-time wage penalty among women workers in all countries, apart from Sweden. The extent to which observed differences explain the wage penalties varies across the countries, and the biggest portion of the gap that is explained by observed differences account for occupational differences between part- and full-time workers. In addition, the study demonstrates that the level of occupational segregation is negatively related to the position of part-time workers' wages in the full-time wage distribution. |
