The Quality of Part-Time Employment in Australia: Dimensions, Prospects and Policy

与大多数经合组织国家一样，兼职工作在澳大利亚是一个重要且日益增长的现象。虽然研究集中在兼职工作的数量上，但忽视了关键的质量维度。这个项目将发展一个复杂的概念框架，以评估非全时就业的质量，利用跨国比较和使用性别制度的办法。它将对澳大利亚兼职工作的质量进行全面和实际的评估，包括两个详细的行业案例研究。最后，本项目将评估提高非全时就业质量的主要政策路径。

Part-time employment is an important and growing phenomenon in Australia, as in most OECD countries. While research has focused on the quantity of part-time employment, the key dimension of quality has been neglected. This project will develop a sophisticated conceptual framework for assessing the quality of part-time employment, drawing on cross-national comparisons and using a gender systems approach. It will produce a comprehensive and practical assessment of the quality of part-time employment in Australia, including two detailed industry case studies. Finally, the project will evaluate the main policy paths for improving the quality of part-time employment.
