Part time working in the Netherlands

Original title: Nederland deeltijdland.

The Netherlands is at the top of the league when it comes to part-time working. Women in particular very frequently work part-time. This is blamed on the difficulty of combining paid employment with care tasks, thus limiting the scope for participation in the labour market. Is this picture correct?
In this report we identify the key facts about the labour participation and working hours of women and examine the extent to which part-time working correlates with (views on) the role of the woman in the family. This is found to be only partially the case; even women who have no small children often also prefer to work part-time.
