“…2 A possible explanation for this is that most studies (especially in Europe) rely on relatively small sample sizes of individuals who work PT making difficult the heterogeneity analysis. We have identified the following exceptions: Mocan and Tekin, 2003, analyze the nonprofit sector dimension; O'Connell and Gash, 2003, focus on differences between skilled and unskilled workers; and Ferber and Waldfogel, 1998;Rodgers, 2004;Booth and Wood, 2008;Hirsch, 2005;O'Dorchai et al, 2007;and Mumford and Smith, 2007, study the gender dimension (or focus on male workers).…”

This paper is the first to examine the implications of switching to PT work for women's subsequent earnings trajectories, distinguishing by their type of contract: permanent or fixedterm. Using a rich longitudinal Spanish data set from Social Security records of over 76,000 prime-aged women strongly attached to the Spanish labor market, we find that PT work aggravates the segmentation of the labor market insofar there is a PT pay penalty and this penalty is larger and more persistent in the case of women with fixed-term contracts. The paper discusses problems arising in empirical estimation (including a problem not discussed in the literature up to now: the differential measurement error of the LHS variable by PT status), and how to address them. It concludes with policy implications relevant for Continental Europe and its dual structure of employment protection.

“…This is shown by Peeters et alia (2007) and O"Connell/Gash (2003) in their analyses of occupational pensions for, respectively, fixed-term employees in Belgium and part-time workers in Ireland. Antolin (2008:12-21) confirms these findings in relation to systems of private provision in eight OECD countries (including Finland, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom).…”

More details can be found at http://www.etui.org/research/about/Staff/Leschke-Janine AbstractIn particular due to increasing female employment over the last decades employment has become more flexible in regard to the contract form and we observe more discontinuous employment careers. This paper discusses in how far retirement pension systems in Europe are suited to cover the specific risks of flexible workers. Recent reforms to these systems (e.g. the strengthening of private elements) and their outcomes on flexible workers are also scrutinised. Section 1 discusses the increasing flexibility of working lives, focussing on breaks in paid employment caused by the incompatible demands of family and working life and on atypical forms of employment, in particular part-time and fixed-term employment. Section 2 discusses the problems encountered by persons with flexible labour market histories with regard to retirement pensions, and points to good practices from several European countries. Section 3 analyses retirement pension in Germany in detail based on the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) data which contains life course information. It looks at differences in pension coverage taking account of the fulltime and part-time employment history of individuals. It puts specific emphasis on the private "Riester pension" plan which contains incentives for participation of specific labour market groups usually disadvantaged in third pillar private pension schemes.

“…PPs are also gendered through their link with lifetime earnings, which are reduced by discontinuous employment histories, part-time working and low pay (Ginn and Arber, 2000;O'Connell and Gash, 2003). Women are also more likely than men to be penalized as early leavers from schemes and by the costs associated with transferring pensions between organizations (Blake, 2000).…”

This article investigates the gender gap in private pension (PP) membership and wealth across different occupations among a cohort of employees using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Using a Heckman selection model to correct for selection bias the results show that gender has a stronger effect than occupation on PP membership and that it is female employees' lower rate of PP membership that has the greatest impact on their ability to accumulate PP wealth, rather than their ability to save once a member. The size of the gender gap in PP wealth is also conditioned by occupation. Analysis of the interaction of these two variables provides new insights into the heterogeneity of women's private pension experience and the emergence of a 'privileged pole' among professional women.
