Persons working full-time/part-time

Persons working full-time/part-time

Employed persons with a work-time percentage of 90% or over are considered to work full-time. Among those working at a lower percentage, a distinction is made between part time I and part time II:

  • part time I: work-time percentage between 50 and 89%;
  • part time II: work-time percentage below 50%.


Internationally, the threshold for part-time work is higher: all work-time percentages below 100% are considered part-time.
