El trabajo a tiempo parcial. ¿Una alternativa para la mujer en tiempos de crisis?
Abstract
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los ejes que vertebran el análisis del trabajo a tiempo parcial para dimensionar las razones que llevan a su utilización por par-te de los agentes de la relación laboral: empleadores y empleados. Se trata de un tipo de jornada que está siendo impulsada a partir de reformas laborales como las de 2012 y 2013. Sin embargo, los datos no confirman que sea una opción buscada como forma de empleo entre las mujeres. Analizado el perfil sociodemográfico de las personas ocupadas a tiempo parcial, la conclusión es que la utilización mayo-ritaria entre las mujeres no responde a razones de compatibilización (laboral-fami-liar), sino a la debilidad de este colectivo en el mercado de trabajo.
