In the Netherlands, I think it is possible to apply for a fulltime job and then after some time ask to work part time and i think your employer can not discriminate against you. They may not like it so maybe best to discuss with them in advance but its a legal option from what i remember. Maybe its the same situation in other countries.
- em-bee 2y agofrom the sources i found, this is definitely the case in germany. good to know that other countries are following this. though it would be nice if businesses were required to always offer jobs as a part-time option
- TrueGeek 2y agoI recently moved to the Netherlands. The majority of parents here work less than full time hours. They'll split up the day and you'll see one parent drop off the kid at school and the other one pick the kid up. Kids are able to go to school on their own from a young age, so you don't have to do this forever. Enough people are doing it that the average number of hours worked a week is 32.
