Off the top, women tend to have much higher concentrations of part-time work. Part-time work tends to fall into that more precarious category of work because there tends not to be the same amount of income security that you get with a full-time job. Scheduling is often more complicated. As well, the rates of qualification for employment insurance, which came up earlier, are much lower for people in part-time positions. Those who fail to accumulate enough hours worked to qualify for employment insurance tend to be those who have part-time employment. Those are just a few reasons as to why that is, and that preference for part-time employment also stems often from paternal or maternal obligations.
