Abstract

Do women prefer occupations where part-time work is widespread, or is it because women are in these occupations that part-time work is widespread in the said occupations ? This article contributes to clarify that question by recalling the theses linking segregation and working time, and by using the INSEE’s Employment Surveys 2013 to 2016. It shows the importance of gender segregation in France and the frequency of part-time work in mixed and female-dominated occupations. Involuntary part-time work is the attribute of blue and white-collar employees, overrepresented in female-dominated occupations, but both females and males. “Voluntary” part-time work concerns more women, more the non-executives in the mixed and female-dominated occupations, and it responds to different motivations for each gender : childcare for women, professional reasons for men. For men, opting for part-time seems to depend on work organization in the occupation, which is less obvious for women. JEL : J16, J20, J70, Z13
