Labour participation of working woman

Pros of Part-time work: Better individual work-life balance Growing labour participation of women Equal rights with full time workers Flexibility for employers and employees

However… Calculations of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment show that of the 5.4 billion working hours available for the labour market, 75% can be obtained by women. Among part-time working women, still 1.9 billion working hours for the labour market can be gained.

More working woman Economic independence. More women should participate in the labour market: ‘(more) hours working should be financially profitable’ - Income dependent labour premium (IAK) - Income dependent combination premium (IACK) - Childcare premium (Law of childcare)

What’s the aim of the Taskforce Part-time Plus? Stimulate woman to increase the number of hours they work

How? Communication Research Debate Internettool Pilots

Pilots in companies and organisations Research shows that Dutch women would like to work more hours a week than they currently do (SCP):  70% of the woman when offered possibilities to work at home;  85% of the woman when offered flexible workingtime arrangements (OSA).
