Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Social Security Registration | | Spanish term or phrase: Proporción entre la jornada a tiempo parcial | Social Security Registration (Spain)
"CTP = **Proporción entre la jornada a tiempo parcial** y la habitual en la empresa."
This relates to the Part-Time Coefficient (Coeficiente del Tiempo Parcial).
Does it mean the ratio of the part-time rate to the full-time rate of pay or is it referring to part-time hours as a ratio of full-time hours?
Many thanks in advance. |

| | the ratio of weeky/hourly pay of part-time workers to that of usual (full-time) workers | Explanation:
Studies involving part-time coefficients determine the "penalty" part-time workers suffer in terms of lower pay per week/hour.
Part-time workers receive considerably lower hourly earnings than do full-time workers. Using Current Population Survey earnings files for September 1995 through December 2002, the author finds that measurable worker and job characteristics, including occupational skill requirements, account for much of the part-time penalty. Longitudinal analysis of the data indicates that much of the remaining gap reflects worker heterogeneity, evidenced by small wage gains and losses among workers switching between part-time and full-time jobs. The lower skills of part-time than full-time workers result primarily from limited work experience and accumulation of human capital. Little evidence can be found of a large wage gap between part-time and full-time women. A part-time wage penalty is found for men, but men account for less than one-third of total part-time employment.
