Abstract
This paper uses an econometric analysis of the 1987 Economic and Social Research
Institute household survey data to assess the sources of the growth which has occurred in parttime
employment in the last decade. The models used allow both for the possibility that the
hours of work choice is a discrete one, and for the influence of the demand side of the labour
market on a woman's choice between part-time and full-time work. The results confirm the
impression gained from descriptive statistics that the growth in part-time employment has been
supply-led, but that the growth of the Services sector has facilitated this increase.
