title: Social security and part-time employment.
abstract: "The author examines social security provisions that constitute obstacles to part-time employment before considering a number of measures that could be taken to make the schemes more flexible and hence promote part-time employment both as a means of meeting the needs of many workers and as a form of work sharing that can help to combat unemployment."  The geographical focus is on developed countries, with an emphasis on Europe.
