In contrast to previous work for developed countries, this paper does not find higher job satisfaction among women working part-time. Instead, for both women and men, job satisfaction is higher when in full-time work, although this finding is stronger for men. Consistent with an interpretation of working part-time as luxury consumption, the paper finds that partnered women with children, poor women or women working in the informal sector are more likely to report higher job satisfaction when working full-time than single women, partnered women without children, non-poor women or women working in the formal sector. 2012-03-30T07:29:27Z 2012-03-30T07:29:27Z 2010 Journal Article Journal of Development Studies 00220388 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4729 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Honduras
