Employment Structure
At Migros, working life is given both structure and direction. Migros shows the way, against the general trend, for the benefit of its employees.
Employment level
At Migros, full- and part-time employment go hand in hand. Against the trend in the Swiss labour market, where the tendency is away from full-time and towards part-time employment, the ratio of full- to part-time employment at Migros has remained stable.

Full- and part-time employment by gender
For Switzerland as a whole, the percentage of women among full-time employees has stalled at just below 30%. At Migros, this percentage is over 42%. Nevertheless, part-time working is still an important factor for the participation of women in employment and the compatibility of career and family. That is evident from the disproportionate rise in the employment ratio of women with children under 15.

Part-time employment ratio
Part-time workers at Migros are also predominantly women. While only one in ten men in Switzerland does part-time work, the percentage of men in part-time employment at Migros, taken across all age groups, rose to 21.5% in 2010. At Migros, therefore, this figure is roughly double the average for Switzerland.
