However, many of them are overemployed, that is, they work more hours than they would prefer to. Some of the overemployed workers decide to exit the labour market. The employees\u2019 inability to reduce their working hours is explained by restrictions imposed by the employers (a so-called minimum hours constraint).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the causes and the effects of minimum hours constraints will help to shape part-time employment regulations, taking into account their impact on businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">This project has received funding from the National Science Centre, Poland.<br>(SONATA -17; agreement no. &nbsp;2021\/43\/D\/HS4\/00423).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-poziom-en2-1140x99-3-1024x89.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-poziom-en2-1140x99-3-1024x89.png 1024w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-poziom-en2-1140x99-3-300x26.png 300w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-poziom-en2-1140x99-3-768x67.png 768w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-poziom-en2-1140x99-3.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","research_category":[140],"class_list":["post-2852","research","type-research","status-publish","hentry","research_category-archive-project"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
