In the EU, there is a strong East/West divide, where: "in Central and Eastern European countries part-time work remains a marginal phenomenon even among women, while the Western countries have embraced it much more widely."
U Evropskoj Uniji postoji jaka podela između istoka i zapada gde: "u zemljama Centralne i Istočne Evrope pola radnog vremena ostaje marginalni fenomen čak i kod žena, dok su zapadne zemlje to mnogo šire prihvatile".
