Abstract
Part-time work is a modality that allows people to carry out work activities with a workload of less than 35 hours per week on average, the quality of which could affect people positively or negatively. This uncertainty leads to the following research question: What is the influence of Part-Time Work on the Quality of Employment in Paraguay in 2018? However, the methodology used was the bibliographic documentary complemented with the Binary Logistic Regression econometric method. In this way, the independent variable was Part-time Work, using the working hours of the main activity as a proxy to determine it, supported by five other variables: years of study, years of experience, medical insurance, type of contract and minimum wage which were dichotomized as required by the model, on the other hand, the dependent variable was the quality of employment, whose proxy variable was the contribution to retirement. All these data were extracted from the Permanent Household Survey. As a result, it was obtained that Part-Time Work does influence or predict, along with the other independent variables, the Quality of Employment, for the year 2018. This implies that the hours of work and the other variables are very relevant to condition the quality employment especially in Paraguay.
