In Switzerland jobs are usually advertised in %, where 40h-45h/week is 100%. From that it is also usual to talk about 80% or 4/5days/week (and so on for other percentages).

Fascinating! I heard the Netherlands has a strong part-time job culture too.
Only if you consider 32/36 hours as part time - the culture is strong in the sense that those are often considered full time as well, and are therefore allowed, but getting a job with fewer hours than that (eg for a three-day work week) will be a lot more difficult.
I’ve worked anything from 24-32 hours a week in the Netherlands, but never 40.

Salaries (even full-time) are crap though.
