Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold: first to provide up-to-date assessment of the characteristics of part-time employees, then to explore the factors that affect the likelihood of working part-time in Türkiye for 2005-2020 period with two probit models. Statistics show that part-timers’ share is steadily increasing, part-timers are getting younger and more educated, most part-timers are women between ages 25 and 55 and married. Results of two probit models show that, education enables employees to be a in full-time employment rather than in part-time employment yet, this effect is not as prominent for women as it is for men. However, for less educated women, part-time employment serves as a bridge between full-time employment and unemployment.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın iki amacı bulunmaktadır: ilk olarak yarı zamanlı çalışanların özelliklerine ilişkin güncel bir değerlendirme sunmak, ardından iki probit modeli ile 2005-2020 dönemi için Türkiye'de yarı zamanlı çalışma olasılığını etkileyen faktörleri araştırmak. İstatistikler, yarı zamanlı çalışanların payının giderek arttığını, yarı zamanlı çalışanların daha genç ve daha eğitimli hale geldiğini, yarı zamanlı çalışanların çoğunun 25-55 yaş arası kadınlardan ve evlilerden oluştuğunu göstermektedir. İki probit modelinin sonuçları, eğitimin çalışanların yarı zamanlı istihdamdan ziyade tam zamanlı istihdamda yer almasını sağladığını, ancak bu etkinin kadınlar için erkeklerde olduğu kadar belirgin olmadığını göstermektedir. Ancak, daha az eğitimli kadınlar için yarı zamanlı istihdam, tam zamanlı istihdam ile işsizlik arasında bir köprü görevi görmektedir.
