People preferred part-time positions over full-time positions. However, this differs depending
on a gender and a country analysed. Therefore, the paper describes development of a full-time
employment and a part-time employment in the European Union countries. Gender inequality
in a full-time and a part-time employment was analysed as well. By comparing employment in
a full-time and a part-time positions, we have discovered that women are employed more in
part-time positions than men. However, gender inequality in both, a full-time employment and
a part-time employment has been decreasing in analysed countries.
