just a temp women temporary Employment and lifestyle
Work Employment & Society, 2004Co-Authors: Catherine Casey, Petricia AlachAbstract:Women’s continued high rate of participation in Non-Standard Employment, especially temporary and part-time jobs, attracts much critical concern. Many social analysts of work regard Non-Standard Employment as heightening risks of economic insecurity, workplace exploitation and social marginalization. Labour economists regard temporary and part-time work as comprising ‘secondary’labour markets and workers in this sector as ‘secondary earners’.Many analysts consider women’s over-representation in this sector to be a consequence of women’s exclusion from primary sector Employment and its expected better conditions.This article develops an interpretive analysis of a qualitative study of 45 women temporary workers in New Zealand in 2001–2002.The experiences and aspirations with respect to work of this particular sample of women currently engaged in temporary Employment relations indicate some divergent trajectories from those more commonly observed. In contrast to most current depictions of women and temporary Employment, the findings indicate that some women are striving to practise their own preferential Employment arrangements in ways that actively challenge conventional economic assumptions of Employment behaviour and traditional trajectories of women’s lives.The article proposes that these efforts may indicate alternative oppositional strategies to normative acceptance of qualitatively degraded jobs and Employment relations.

Contractual status, worker well-being and economic development
The Indian Journal of Labour Economics, 2017Co-Authors: Janine Berg.Abstract:This article focuses on the growth of Non-Standard Employment arrangements in those segments of the labour market in developing countries that were previously the locus of ‘standard’ jobs. While informality is still a significant concern in developing countries, the increase in Non-Standard Employment has compounded problems for workers and the labour market, adding to the already heightened levels of insecurity. In addition, by weakening the Employment relationship, enterprises have less of an incentive to invest in the training of their workers or in productivity-enhancing technology or organizational improvements, potentially undermining economic development. Never the less, these issues can be addressed through regulations that lessen differences in contractual arrangements, as well as by restricting the use of Non-Standard Employment. Governments should consider instituting and enforcing these measures for the benefit of workers, but also for firms, and for economic development in general.

Job tasks and Employment trajectories: The impact of the task content of the first occupation in Non-Standard Employment on career development
2020Co-Authors: L.m.s. Mattijssen, Dimitris Pavlopoulos, Wendy SmitsAbstract:In this paper, we investigate to what extent the task composition of the first occupation in Non-Standard Employment influences further career development in the Netherlands. Using Goldthorpe’s (2007) replaceability framework and Autor et al.’s (2003) routine-biased technological change theory, we hypothesize that workers in routine occupations are most likely to be replaced by other workers, technology, and therefore are more likely to have a precarious career. Using the outcomes of sequence analysis in multinomial probit regressions, we find that it is manual tasks, rather than routine tasks, that lead to more precarious careers.

Occupations and the Non-Standard Employment Career: How the Occupational Skill Level and Task Types Influence the Career Outcomes of Non-Standard Employment:
Work Employment & Society, 2020Co-Authors: L.m.s.

For t...

The Effects of Non-Standard Employment on the Transition to Parenthood Within Couples: A Comparison of Germany and Australia
European Journal of Population, 2020Co-Authors: Inga LaßAbstract:Using longitudinal data from Germany and Australia for the 2001‒2013 period, this study investigates the link between Non-Standard Employment, such as fixed-term contracts, temporary agency work, part-time and casual work, and first birth within couple relationships. In contrast to previous studies, competing risks event history models are estimated to simultaneously consider couples’ risks of first birth and of partnership dissolution. The results indicate, for example, that temporary Employment of the female partner, and especially temporary agency work, decreases first birth risks in both countries. This suggests that women, in their dual role as primary carer and secondary earner, seek a secure Employment position to return to after parental leave. In contrast, male partner’s part-time work negatively affects the first birth risk and simultaneously increases the risk of partnership dissolution only in Australia, suggesting a more important role of men as primary earners in this country. Overall, the study highlights the twofold impact of Non-Standard Employment on fertility, consisting of a direct influence on the first birth risk among stable couples and an indirect influence through the risk of partnership dissolution.
