abstract: 'Departing from growing concerns about in-work poverty and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
proliferation of flexible employment, we investigate the association
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between temporary employment and poverty in a European comparative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perspective. In doing so, we focus specifically on possible gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dimensions, because some are concerned that the impact of flexible
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment on income security will be different for men and women and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that gender inequality will increase. By means of a logistic multilevel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
model, we analyse recent EU-SILC data for 24 European countries. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
results show that the temporarily employed have a higher poverty risk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vis-a-vis permanent workers, mainly caused by lower wages. However, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risk factors to become working poor are similar. The poorly educated,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
young workers and those living in a single earner household with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dependent children have an increased probability to live in poverty,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether they are employed on temporary or permanent basis. Differences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between European welfare regimes demonstrate that policy constellations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
influence the magnitude of these risk factors. Counter-intuitively,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
temporary working women have a lower poverty risk than their male
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
counterparts. They are better protected because they are more often
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
secondary earners in a dual earning household, while men are more often
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
primary earners. This article advances knowledge on the linkages between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
temporary employment, economic insecurity and gender differences in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
European welfare states.'
