dc.description.abstract | In common with many developed countries, Australia has experienced substantial growth in the number of lone parent families, leading to considerable policy focus on reducing welfare dependence among lone parents. A key issue that arises in pursuing this policy goal is whether, in the context of a welfare system that accommodates the combining of part-time employment with welfare receipt, part-time employment helps or hinders progression to full-time employment. We investigate this issue using panel data on single mothers, estimating dynamic random effects multinomial logit models of labour force status that distinguish part-time employment, allowing investigation of whether part-time work represents a ‘stepping-stone’ to full-time employment. Evidence in support of the stepping stone hypothesis is found. Part-time employment on average increases the next-year full-time employment probability by five percentage points. No evidence is found that this stepping stone function varies by number of children or age of the youngest child. | en |
