In 2024, part-time employment within the European Union has reached a notable proportion among different groups of workers. Non-EU citizens accounted for 22.2% of all part-time jobs, while EU citizens residing in other member states represented 20.8%. Comparatively, EU nationals working in their own countries reported a significantly lower figure of only 16.6%.
This phenomenon marks a shift in the dynamics of the European labor market, observable since 2014. Throughout this decade, EU citizens have consistently maintained the lowest rates of part-time employment compared to non-EU workers and those residing in other EU countries. Despite an overall decline in part-time worker participation across all categories, non-EU citizens have managed to bring their levels closer to those of their counterparts abroad.
A deeper analysis reveals a clear gender difference in part-time employment figures. Women, regardless of their nationality, have a higher participation rate in this type of employment. In 2024, the most marked gap was observed among citizens from other EU countries, with 35.8% of women working in part-time jobs compared to only 7.9% of men. Among women from non-EU countries, the rate was even higher at 36.8%, while only 11.8% of men found themselves in the same situation. Among nationals of the reporting country, 27.0% of women and 7.4% of men were in part-time employment.
These data highlight not only the changing dynamics of employment in Europe but also the persistent gender inequality in the labor market. As the presence of non-EU workers in the European labor market grows, a considerable disparity in part-time employment, as well as gender inequality affecting different employment categories, becomes evident.
