D-MTEC Media Update – Part-time penalty for men

D-MTEC experts engage with issues that affect society, the economy and business. The D-MTEC Media Update provides links to recent articles, interviews and commentary. If women want to work 90 instead of 100 percent, their chance to be hired decreases by 2 percent. For men, this decrease is 17 percent. Daniel Kopp from KOF Swiss Economic Institute attributes this divergence to gender stereotypes still prevailing in companies.
