abstract: 'Theories of precarious employment based on the constructs of job quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and job stability have highlighted the issue of transitions, linked to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender and age, from long-duration employment in bad-quality jobs, into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
good-quality stable employment. This article uses Markov chain analysis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to study the labour market transitions of South Korean women in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different age groups. It shows the importance of differentiating the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects of contemporary labour market conditions, shaped by the forces
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the moment, from conditions created by the institutional legacy of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the past. Women''s traditional position in the labour market has resulted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in age-linked gendered precariousness, while the conditions of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
moment are generating a tendency towards less precarious employment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Transition matrices are developed for types of precarious employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
defined by the combination of job stability and job quality, taking into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
account duration by age group, time period, and covariates. These
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
matrices yield distributions of asymptotic prevalence, reflecting labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market conditions of the moment. The forces of the moment favour the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predominance of stable good-quality employment, whereas observed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevalence at a given date is characterised by the polarisation of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market between stable good-quality and unstable bad-quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. Asymptotic prevalence reveals a steady increase in stable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
but bad-quality employment. Older women are observed mostly in unstable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bad-quality employment, but labour market conditions are tending to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attenuate this age cleavage over time, as the conditions of the moment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are reducing the proportions of older women in stable bad-quality and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unstable good-quality employment. The conclusion is an age-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
polarisation, in which older women are faring badly, but where
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
possibilities are now opening up to younger South Korean women,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reflected in the sharp break between the situation inherited from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
past and the conditions of the moment. But possibilities for younger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women will be realised only through a reinforcement of government
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies to support career breaks and work-family balance through decent
|
|

part-time jobs. JEL Codes: J08, J28, J44'
