我们给出了一个定量分析的职业变化的性质-的基础上利用的技能-作为妇女之间的全职和兼职工作的过渡。我们发现，四分之一的女性从全职工作转向兼职工作，经历了降级。留在目前雇主的妇女不那么容易受到伤害，在决定妇女是否转到低技能职业方面，是否有非全时工作的机会比是否有学龄前儿童重要得多。这些调查结果表明，由于许多从事非全时工作的妇女的技能没有得到充分利用，经济效率受到了损失。
We give a quantitative analysis of the nature of occupational change - based on the utilisation of skills - as women make the transition between full-time and part-time work. We show that one-quarter of women moving from full- to part-time work experience downgrading. Women remaining with their current employer are less vulnerable and the availability of part-time opportunities is far more important than the presence of a pre-school child in determining whether a woman moves to a lower-skilled occupation. These findings indicate a loss of economic efficiency through the underutilisation of the skills of many of the women who work part-time.
