The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of personal, household and regional characteristics
on likelihood of being part-time employed at Turkish labour market using the individual
data obtained from the household labour force surveys of 2006–2008. The data are analyzed
using both probit and logit models. The results indicate that urban residing individuals are less likely
to be part-time employed compared to rural residing ones, and females are more likely to be
part-time employed than males. In addition, being married increases the likelihood of being parttime
employed for females, while it declines the likelihood of being part-time employed for males,
and increase in education level seem to decline the probability of being part-time employed for both
genders. Furthermore, regardless gender, having more children in a household increases the probability
of part-time employment.
