Abstract | This survey report contains findings on part-time work arrangements currently being offered by Greater Philadelphia Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) employers to minimally-skilled women workers. Employer willingness to extend nonstandard work arrangements and to establish the norm of steady employment in their establishments is reported. Employer opinions concerning business considerations involved in part-time hiring are reported. Attitudes of some SMSA union officials are also presented. SMSA employer attitudes concerning the social desirability of the employment of women who are heads-of-households is discussed as well as the social provisions currently being offered to facilitate employment. New legislation required to place part-time workers on a better footing economically is identified. Obstacles presented by Civil Service are reported on. A review of the literature on part-time employment is included. (Author) |
