abstract: 'The rise of flexible employment in advanced democracies has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predominantly studied in the insider-outsider framework of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dualization literature. However, against the background of rising income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality, it seems questionable to assume that all labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insiders are equally affected by flexibilization. This paper explores
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether flexibilization increases wage inequality among labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insiders. I argue that flexibilization exposes insiders to a set of wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risks that are concentrated among low- and middle-income insiders,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
creating downward wage pressure on those insiders. The empirical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis, covering 22 democracies between 1985 and 2016, finds that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
deregulation of non-standard employment is associated with declining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage shares of low-income and middle-income earners, while top earners
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefit. These major distributional shifts imply an important
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qualification of the dualization literature: rather than pitting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insiders against outsiders, flexibilization `at the margins'' seems to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exacerbate divides among insiders.'
