Training for Tomorrow: —Implications of Part‐time Employment

Abstract

In the last ten years the UK labour market has undergone a series of significant changes which have important implications for those involved in training. This monograph explains the implications of the growth of part‐time employment before presenting the results from a survey of employers and institutions, such as the MSC, regarding the provision of training for part‐time workers, and makes some comparisons with the situation in other countries. Certain issues are raised which may provide a basis for different policies in the future. The question of whether or not technological change is likely to lead to greater part‐time employment, and in particular more part‐time work by males, is also discussed.
