The 2008 economic crisis produced significant setbacks in economic growth in developed countries, and countries like Portugal, in particular,were seriously harmed. Human capital is a factor of production which provides benefits to both individuals and society and, as such, it is crucial when analysing countries’ economic revivals. This article’s goal is to carry out a study of the likelihood of being employed in Portugal between 2006 and 2016, differentiating between full-time and part-time work, according to the maximum level of study attained. The results show that individuals with higher education have a high probability of having full-time work.

PurposeBuilding on the self-efficacy theory and self-theories, the purpose of this paper is to investigate students working part-time whilst pursuing full-time higher education in Cambodia. It explores individuals’ part-time working activities, career aspirations and self-efficacy.Design/methodology/approachData were collected in a cross-sectional survey of 850 business and social sciences degree students, with 199 (23.4 per cent) usable responses, of which 129 (65.2 per cent of the sample) indicated they currently have a job.FindingsMultiple regression analysis confirmed part-time work as a significant predictor of self-efficacy. There was a positive recognition of the value of part-time work, particularly in informing career aspirations. Female students were significantly more positive about part-time work, demonstrating significantly higher career aspirations than males. Results also suggest that students recognise the value that work experience hold in identifying future career directions and securing the first graduate position.Practical implicationsThere are potential implications for approaches to curriculum design and learning, teaching and assessment for universities. There are also clear opportunities to integrate work-based and work-related learning experience into the curriculum and facilitate greater collaboration between higher education institutions and employers in Cambodia.Social implicationsThere are implications for recruitment practices amongst organisations seeking to maximise the benefits derived from an increasingly highly educated workforce, including skills acquisition and development, and self-efficacy.Originality/valueIt investigates the importance of income derived from part-time working to full-time university students in a developing South-East Asian country (Cambodia), where poverty levels and the need to contribute to family income potentially predominate the decision to work while studying.

Part Time Work

The importance of part-time work has been growing in recent years, due to its significant increase in today's societies, and higher education institutions have not been alien to this trend. The present research tries to study the relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction with the intention to leave the institution, comparing part-time and full-time faculty. An empirical research, grounded in the model proposed by Currivan (1999), has been undertaken, with a sample of faculty of ETSEIAT, a college of the Technical University of Catalonia. Results show the existence of the relationships with organizational commitment, job satisfaction and intention to leave predicted in the literature, and significant differences in job satisfaction and organizational commitment between part-time and full-time faculty. The paper ends with some proposals of further research.

Abstract Background The pandemic of COVID-19 had posed challenges in every aspect of the people’s life. COVID-19 had affected all age groups in both previously healthy individuals and those with chronic disease including IBD. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and factors associated with psychosocioeconomical and medical changes in patients with IBD during the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemicperiod in China. Methods The survey questionnaires were sent to the patients with IBD in China including epicentres and outside. Bivariate analyses and logistic regression models were used to analysis associations between IBD and various demographic, disease factors, and patient-reported outcomes including working conditions, income, anxiety, stress, and sadness. Results Of the 2277 respondents, 144 (6.3%) respondents were from Hubei province which was the epicenter of COVID-19 in China. Multivariable regression demonstrated that patients had part-time work (odds ratio [OR]: 4.28; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.48-7.36; P<0.001) or those had middle education level (high school graduate and bachelor’s degree) (OR:7.28; 95%CI: 3.58-14.81; P<0.001) were more likely to have reduced income compared with those had full-time work or less than high school education level. In addition, female (OR: 1.41; 95%CI: 1.16-1.71; P= 0.01) patients were at higher risk of having an anxiety, stress and sadness disorder. While un-married patients (OR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.63-0.91; P=0.003) patients were less likely to have mood changes. Moreover, IBD patients with active disease (OR: 4.79; 95% CI: 3.87-5.91; P<0.001) were at higher risk of IBD medication changes. Conclusion The results from this large survey demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the patients with IBD financially, psychosocially, and medically. Our findings highlighted the importance of screening for psychosocioeconomic and medical changes in patients with IBD, with particular attention to those of female sex, have part-time work, and active disease. Our IBD community needs to develop effective and feasible strategies to deal with current and future challenges such as a viral pandemic.

Part Time Work

The article draws attention to the Ukrainian full-time students (bachelor's and master's levels of education) who want to combine their studies at a higher education institution with temporary short-term paid work. It is a situation is considered when a full-time student, who has the main activity of the study process in a higher education institution, has a desire to temporarily or once perform certain types of work in order to obtain income. For a student this work is not the main activity, but it is an activity that can take place only in his extracurricular time. In other words, our study examines current employment opportunities for full-time students (bachelor's and master's levels of education) to their free time or in extracurricular activities. This article is about the state of opportunities and directions of organizing temporary employment with payment for work performed for full-time students. The article examines that about 90-99% of full-time students do not have the opportunity to improve their financial situation by applying for a paid job in the educational institution where they study. The study presented in the article showed that in Ukraine there are from 500 to 600 thousand full-time students (bachelor's and master's levels of education) who do not have an entrepreneurially organized opportunity for fast and reliable temporary part-time work. Each student is looking for a temporary part-time job individually and individually outside of their institution. It is proposed to create such an entrepreneurial structure, which, on the one hand, tracks, collects and accumulates applications from legal entities and individuals for certain temporary jobs, and on the other hand, forms its own database of students wishing to work for pay. We are talking about a service business structure subordinated to the educational institution. In Ukraine, such structures are a rare phenomenon. Thus, according to the authors, the further development of research in the direction of the organization of student part-time work includes the development of entrepreneurial measures to create the above service structures under the direct regulation of the educational institution where the student studies.

Abstract The social and economic forces that shape attitudes toward the welfare state are of central concern to social scientists. Scholarship in this area has paid limited attention to how working part-time, the employment status of nearly 20% of the U.S. workforce, affects redistribution preferences. In this article, we theoretically develop and empirically test an argument about the ways that part-time work, and its relationship to gender, shape redistribution preferences. We articulate two gender-differentiated pathways—one material and one about threats to social status—through which part-time work and gender may jointly shape individuals’ preferences for redistribution. We test our argument using cross-sectional and panel data from the General Social Survey in the United States. We find that the positive relationship between part-time employment, compared to full-time employment, and redistribution preferences is stronger for men than for women. Indeed, we do not detect a relationship between part-time work and redistribution preferences among women. Our results provide support for a gendered relationship between part-time employment and redistribution preferences and demonstrate that both material and status-based mechanisms shape this association.

Part Time Work

The effects of working part time on job downgrading and upgrading are examined over the life course of British women born in 1958. We use longitudinal data with complete work histories from a large-scale nationally representative cohort study. Occupations were ranked by their hourly average earnings. Analyses show a strong link between full-time/part-time transitions and downward and upward occupational mobility over the course of up to thirty years of employment. Probabilities of occupational mobility were affected by women's personal traits, occupational characteristics and demand-side factors. Downward mobility on moving from full-time to part-time work was more likely for women at the top levels of the occupational hierarchy working in male-dominated or mixed occupations and less likely in higher occupations with more part-time jobs available.

In the context of population aging, the U.K. government is encouraging people to work longer and delay retirement, and it is claimed that many people now make “gradual” transitions from full-time to part-time work to retirement. Part-time employment in older age may, however, be largely due to women working part-time before older age, as per a U.K. “modified male breadwinner” model. This article therefore separately examines the extent to which men and women make transitions into part-time work in older age, and whether such transitions are influenced by marital status. Following older men and women over a 10-year period using the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, this article presents sequence, cluster, and multinomial logistic regression analyses. Little evidence is found for people moving into part-time work in older age. Typically, women did not work at all or they worked part-time (with some remaining in part-time work and some retiring/exiting from this activity). Consistent with a “modified male breadwinner” logic, marriage was positively related to the likelihood of women belonging to typically “female employment pathway clusters,” which mostly consist of part-time work or not being employed. Men were mostly working full-time regardless of marital status. Attempts to extend working lives among older women are therefore likely to be complicated by the influence of traditional gender roles on employment.

Part Time Work

This chapter delves into the effects of each type of employment experience—part-time work, temporary agency employment, skills underutilization, and long-term unemployment. These are compared to full-time, standard employment on applicants' likelihood of receiving a callback for a job. As the chapter shows, the effects are largely contingent. First, they are contingent on the type of employment history. Each type of employment experience—part-time work versus temporary agency employment, for instance—does not result in the same treatment from hiring professionals. Second, the consequences of a particular employment experience are contingent on the race and gender of the worker. Indeed, it is difficult to isolate the effect of a given employment history from the way it is refracted through a worker's social group membership.
