New analysis puts figures on lost pension assets when working part-time

Women become the weak party when they choose to work part-time. Helle Brandt, chairwoman of Danish Family Lawyers, often meets women when they discover how disadvantaged they are.

New mothers in large numbers work part-time when the family’s first child is born.

By the time the first child is 2 years old, every fifth woman has gone from full-time to part-time, according to an analysis in ‘Status på arbejdmarkedet’, published by the Ministry of Employment.
