Is the web a promising tool for data collection in developing countries? An analysis of the sample bias of 10 web and face-to-face surveys from Africa, Asia, and South America
Whereas the sample composition biases of web surveys have been discussed extensively for developed countries, studies for developing countries are scarce. This article helps to fill that gap by comparing similar non-probability-based web surveys (WEB) and probability-based face-to-face (F2F) surveys both to each other and to the labor force. An analysis of WageIndicator data on work and wages derived from surveys held in 2009–2013 in 10 developin…
Workers and Labour Market Outcomes of Informal Jobs in Formal Establishments. A Job-based Informality Index for Nine Sub-Saharan African Countries
Working Women Worldwide. Age Effects in Female Labor Force Participation in 117 Countries
In this article, we investigate the effects of economic conditions, families, education, and gender ideologies on the labor force participation rates of women in eleven age groups in 117 countries. We find that participation rates of young and older women are partly explained by sector sizes and the level of economic development. However, to explain the labor force participation rates of women between 25 and 55 years, we need to study families an…
Skill mismatch among migrant workers: Evidence From a Large Multi-Country Dataset
This article unravels the migrants' incidence of skill mismatch taking into consideration different migration flows. Mismatch is the situation in which workers have jobs for which lower skill levels are required compared to their education. We use a dataset (from a large multi-country web survey) particularly suited to investigate differences in skill mismatch between native and migrant workers. The main advantages are its ample size and the larg…

Working time flexibility components and working time regimes in Europe: Using company-level data across 21 countries
Working time flexibility comprises a wide variety of arrangements, from part-time, overtime, to long-term leaves. Theoretical approaches to grouping these arrangements have been developed, but empirical underpinnings are rare. This article investigates the bundles that can be found for various flexible working time arrangements, using the Establishment Survey on Working Time and Work–Life Balance, 2004/2005, covering 21 EU member states and 13 in…

Social risk protection in collective agreements: Evidence from the Netherlands
To what extent can collective bargaining compensate for a decline in or absence of welfare state protection against social risks? In this article, we use a comprehensive collective agreement database to analyse social risk coverage in the Netherlands from 1995 to 2009. We compare two forms of social risk, disability and work—life arrangements, analysing the share of collective agreements that offer these arrangements across time. Our results show…
How Many Hours Do You Usually Work: An analysis of the working hours questions in 26 large-scale surveys in six countries and the European Union
This article reviews how working hours are asked for in 26 large-scale surveys in six countries plus the European Union. Four dimensions of working time were investigated, notably number of working hours, timing of work, predictability and control over hours, and commuting time. Although almost all questionnaires ask for hours worked, the terminology varies greatly. In only half of the cases a reference period is taken into account and in half th…
The determinants of ICT competencies among employees
This study aims to explain employees’ adaptability to information and communications technology (ICT), using a representative sample of 713 employees in the Netherlands. The willingness to acquire ICT competencies and the mastery of equipment and software are primarily affected by intensity of ICT use, an informated ICT strategy of the organisation and an intensive personnel policy
Outsourcing of Domestic Tasks and Time-saving Effects
The increased participation of women in paid labor has changed the organization of domestic work. This article deals with a strategy to cope with remaining domestic duties; to what extent are domestic tasks outsourced, what are the main determinants, and does it indeed save time spent on housework? Five outsourcing options are investigated: domestic help, take-out meals, the microwave, the dishwasher, and the dryer. Hypotheses are formulated with…
Employees' and Employers' Preferences for Working Time Reduction and Working Time Differentiation: A Study of the 36-Hour Working Week in the Dutch Banking Sector
Working time reduction is high on the political agenda of the European Union and its member states. In Dutch banks, reduced working time (RWT) was agreed in collective bargaining; however, employers are able to exclude employees from RWT. A total of 82 per cent of employees were assigned RWT. Using large-scale survey data based on 17,308 employees, regression analyses were performed to investigate which employees had favourable RWT attitudes and …
Gender Roles and Labor Use Strategies: Women's Part-Time Work in the European Union
What is the nature of female part-time employment in the European Union? Using data from the Second European Survey on Working Conditions , the author seeks to address this question. The paper examines four regimes of part-time employment. The gender-roles model, which assumes that women work parttime because they are secondary earners or have children at home, ranks first as a predictor of the likelihood that a woman will work part-time. In the …
Behind the Screens: The Foreseen and Unforeseen Impact of Computerization on Female Office Worker's Jobs
This article analyses the forecasts made at the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s regarding male dominance in the field of electronic data processing (EDP), the computer illiteracy of female workers, the exclusion of women from decision‐making processes, and polarization among female workers. Based on statistical sources, analyses of computer weeklies, case studies in eight manufacturing firms and a survey among female office worker…
