The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the impact of part-time work on worker’s productivity. More specifically, using micro data from the Greek Structure of Earnings Survey for 2010 we empirically analyze the relationship between wage/productivity differentials and the firm’s labor composition in terms of part-time work and gender. According to our findings, the share of part-time workers is not assocciated with pay differentials once we control for observable individual and firm characteristics. A higher share of female workers is negatively related with the firm’s hourly wage. Finally, when our model control for differences in the impact of short and long part-time jobs between males and females, we observe that female long part-timers as well as short part-time workers both women and men are assocciated with a negative impact on hourly wage, but in case of female long part-timers this effect disappeared as their working hours are close to full-time schedule.
