abstract: 'The aim of this paper is to evaluate the validity of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`marginalisation thesis'', which holds that marginalised populations are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more likely to participate in the undeclared economy, in relation to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nordic societies. To do this, a 2013 special Eurobarometer survey is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reported on who engages in undeclared work conducted in three Nordic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nations, namely Denmark, Finland and Sweden involving 3,013 face-to-face
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interviews. Using multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression analysis,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the finding is that the marginalisation thesis is valid in relation to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some marginalised populations, namely those having difficulties paying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their household bills, younger age groups, those defining themselves as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working class and those who hold non-conformist norms, values and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
beliefs on tax compliance. Other marginalised populations however,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including the unemployed, those living in rural areas and with less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
formal education, are revealed to be no more likely to engage in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
undeclared work than the employed, those in urban areas and with more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
years in education. Yet others marginalised populations, including women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and people living in less affluent Nordic nations, are significantly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
less likely to participate in the undeclared economy than men and those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
living in more affluent Nordic countries, thus supporting the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reinforcement thesis that undeclared work reinforces, rather than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reduces, the disparities produced by the declared economy. The outcome
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a call for a more nuanced understanding of the marginalisation thesis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as valid for some marginalised populations but not others. The paper
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concludes by discussing the implications for theory and policy of this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more variegated assessment of the marginalisation thesis.'
