Sociology
According to Hakim (1995, 1996), the majority of part-time work is done by women because:
part-time jobs pay relatively high wages and so are financially beneficial
they make a rational choice to combine employment with their ‘home-centred’ lives
their choices are constrained by structural factors, such as being unable to afford childcare
full time work is not available in the kinds of occupations that they want to enter
they make a rational choice to combine employment with their ‘home-centred’ lives
Since the late twentieth century, two related changes that have occurred are the increase in part-time work and the growing employment of women. Hakim suggests that there are two types of women: the career-centred and the home-centred. She argued that home-centred women make a rational choice to take part-time work because they want to combine it with childcare or other domestic responsibilities; it is not a decision that is imposed on them against their will. 705
