AB Our study assesses whether a difference exists in the diffusion of flexible working hoursbetween Northern and Southern European countries. We implemented a methodologicalapproach based on individual workers’ survey data, analysing a large sample from theEuropean Working Conditions Survey (EWCS 2015) that includes 17 countries,and applying logistic regression models. We found that a worker in Northern Europe istwice as much likely to use flexible working hours than their Southern Europecounterpart, even after controlling for sociodemographic variables, working conditions,occupations, and sectors. Based on these findings, we argue in favour of the assumptionthat institutional regimes in Southern Europe feature lower levels of flexibility, puttingforward some explanations for their perceived higher flexibility.
