abstract: 'How does initial placement in a temporary work contract affect workers''

  subsequent la-bor market outcomes? We study a unique set of natural

  experiments: In the mid-1990s, the Japanese airline industry implemented

  a new hiring policy using temporary employ-ment contracts. The policy

  was later reversed in the mid-2010s. Examining the universe of

  employment records from one of Japan''s major airlines as well as

  government surveys to compare outcomes for cohorts of flight attendants

  hired just before to those hired just af-ter these changes in industry

  policy, we find that workers starting on temporary contracts were less

  likely to remain with the firm over time and are less likely to have

  children within 10 years after starting the job. These findings do not

  appear to be the result of selection on observables.(c) 2023 Elsevier
