Abstract
This article is aimed at demonstrating how the ILO's Convention on Part-time Work represents a major shift in the nature of international labour standards. In order to achieve this goal the analysis is divided in four parts. First, the Author considers the creation of the Convention and the arguments used to shape its final form. Then she examines the relationship between the Convention and some of the core labour standards which are now encompassed in the ILO's Declaration. After, she analyses the employment promotion provisions of the Convention, and shows that they have the potential to deregulate and even reduce working conditions at the national level. Finally, the Author concludes by discussing the important issues arising from the Part-time Work Convention for the ILO's future handling of standards above the fundamental core of rights.
