The study focuses on part-time work evolution in the European and Italian systems, until the recent reform of labour market (the so-called Jobs Act) that includes new rules on part-time contracts.

Lo studio si concentra sull'evoluzione del lavoro a tempo parziale nell’ordinamento europeo e italiano, fino alle recenti modifiche contenute nel c.d. Jobs Act. Il decreto legislativo n.61 /2000 ha recepito la Direttiva 97/81/CE nell'ordinamento italiano: da allora, nella prospettiva dell’aumento del part time alcune clausole in Italia hanno subito numerose modifiche che oscillano dalla delega alla contrattazione collettiva all’autonomia individuale. Questi fattori sono entrambi cruciali e dovrebbero tendere a un nuovo equilibrio regolativo. L’incremento del part time nel corso degli ultimi anni, anche a seguito della crisi, è rappresentato da part timers involontari, che accettano questo contratto soltanto in mancanza di un impiego a tempo pieno. Inoltre, il saggio analizza alcune recenti riforme del part time in Europa: in Francia i contratti a tempo parziale devono avere una durata minima di 24 ore settimanali, anche se vi sono alcune eccezioni; in Spagna la legge estende il diritto del datore di lavoro di chiedere ore aggiuntive per i dipendenti a tempo parziale.

Abstract
The study focuses on part-time work evolution in the European and Italian systems, until the recent reform of labour market (the so-called Jobs Act) that includes new rules on part-time contracts. The Legislative Decree no. 61/2000 transposed the Directive 97/81/EC into the Italian system: since then, in the perspective of increasing part-time, some clauses in Italy underwent numerous changes which range from delegation to collective bargaining and to individual autonomy. These factors are both crucial, and should tend to a new regulative equilibrium. The increase in the number of part-timers in recent years, partly as a result of the economic crisis, is represented by the involuntary part-time workers, which accept contracts only in the absence of full time employment. In addition the paper analyses some recent part-time reforms in Europe: in France the part-time contracts should be minimum of 24 hours per week, although there are some exceptions; in Spain the law extends the employer’s right to request additional hours to part-time employees.
