Part-time work has become increasingly popular in recent years. Winfried Pinggera, head of pension insurer PVA, points out the risks of paying less into the system by shortening working hours: How great are the consequences for old-age security and why you only feel them when it is too late: Krone+ analyzes.
The part-time boom in Austria has several causes, but it cannot be stopped. 50 percent of all women work less than full-time and earn correspondingly less. Many people would like to extend their working hours: about three in ten women who work part-time say this, and 37 percent of men who work part-time express this wish. On the other hand, about 40 percent of full-time working women want to reduce their hours, and 30 percent of men do.
