PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT OF MOTHERS: THE EXAMPLE OF THE NETHERLANDS AND POLAND

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present and compare data on part-time employment of women (especially mothers), and try to formulate preliminary interpretations of these data in Poland and the Netherlands. The research questions are: What does part-time employment of mothers look like? How can the differences between Poland and the Netherlands be explained? The methodology employed here relies on a comparative analysis using existing data. The following conclusions can be drawn from the research. The cases of the Netherlands and Poland seem to confirm that the social and cultural context are very relevant with respect to strategies for combining motherhood and employment. Dutch mothers mainly work part-time, while Polish women very rarely use this option, opting either for full-time work or giving up employment.
