许多关于不稳定工作的大量文献在很大程度上倾向于假设不稳定性是由工作质量决定的：不稳定的工作会导致不稳定的生活。本文通过质疑这种因果关系，并强调更广泛的影响，塑造老年工人的生活，他们从安全，长期的职业生涯中裁员后进入不稳定的工作，增加了文献。根据对2017年关闭的澳大利亚汽车制造业的研究，本文发现，对于老年退休工人来说，暴露于不稳定的就业加剧了一些人的生活不稳定性，但并没有导致其他人的生活不稳定。这些工人的生活轨迹并不是从安全到不稳定的统一过渡，而是根据他们家庭规模的财务安全而有所不同。影响老年工人生活变得不稳定的可能性的关键问题是企业福利和他们以前职业生涯积累的资产财富。
Much of the large literature on precarious work has largely tended to assume that precarity is shaped by job quality: that precarious work leads to precarious lives. This paper adds to the literature by questioning this line of causality and highlighting the broader range of influences shaping the lives of older workers who enter precarious work after retrenchment from secure, long-term careers. Drawing on a study of Australia’s automotive manufacturing industry, which closed in 2017, this article finds that for older retrenched workers, exposure to precarious employment sharpened life precarity for some but did not lead to precarious lives for others. Instead of a uniform transition from security to precarity, these workers’ life trajectories diverged depending on their household-scale financial security. Key issues influencing the likelihood of older workers’ lives becoming precarious were enterprise benefits and asset wealth accumulated through their previous careers.
