A part-time job is a form of employment that carries fewer hours per week than a full-time job. Workers are considered to be part-time if they commonly work fewer than 30 or 35 hours per week.[1] According to the International Labour Organization, the number of part-time workers has increased from one-fourth to a half in the past 20 years in most developed countries, excluding the United States.[1] There are many reasons for working part-time, including the desire to do so, having one's hours cut back by an employer and being unable to find a full-time job.
"Part-time" can also be used in reference to a student (usually in higher education) who takes only a few courses, rather than a full load of coursework each semester.

In Canada, part-time workers are those who usually work less than 30 hours per week at their main or only job.[2] In 2007, just over 1 in every 10 employees aged 25 to 54 worked part-time. A person who has a part-time placement is often contracted to a company or business in which they have a set of terms they agree with.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, working part-time is defined as working between 1 and 35 hours per week.[3] In 2007, 32.4 million Americans worked part-time, approximately two-thirds of whom were women. Less than one fifth of part-time workers were forced to do so for economic reasons.[4]
Typically, part-time employees in the United States are not entitled to employee benefits, such as health insurance.
