失业对个人的负面影响及其对配偶的蔓延有着广泛的记录。然而，当涉及到临时就业的类似后果时，我们的知识存在差距。这是有问题的，因为虽然临时工作往往被认为是失业的更好替代办法，使个人有收入和与雇主联系的机会，但它们也与压力因素有关，如工作高度不安全和工作质量差，其影响可能波及配偶。使用匹配的数据从英国家庭小组研究，我表明，临时工作是至少一样有害的配偶的主观幸福感失业，虽然有差异。当丈夫经历临时工作时，就像失业一样，对妻子的心理健康和生活满意度产生负面影响。然而，与失业相反，妻子的临时就业也会波及丈夫，对丈夫的心理健康产生负面影响。此外，当男子失业或临时就业，而其妻子有固定工作时，夫妇个人的福祉受到的影响最大，这表明这种影响与性别偏差有关。在控制了可以影响就业状况和福祉结果的固定个人特征后，效果是稳健的。
The negative impact of unemployment on individuals and its spillover to spouses is widely documented. However, we have a gap in our knowledge when it comes to the similar consequences of temporary employment. This is problematic, because although temporary jobs are often considered better alternatives to unemployment for endowing individuals with income and opportunities to connect to employers, they are also associated with stressors such as high levels of job insecurity and poor quality work, the effects of which might spill over to spouses. Using matched data from the British Household Panel Study, I show that temporary work is at least as detrimental as unemployment for spouses' subjective well-being, although there are differences. When experienced by husbands, temporary work, like unemployment, has a negative effect on wives' psychological well-being and life satisfaction. Yet, as opposed to unemployment, wives' temporary employment also spills over and negatively affects husbands' psychological well-being. Furthermore, coupled individuals' well-being is most affected when men are either unemployed or temporarily employed and their wives have permanent jobs, suggesting that the effect is related to gender deviation. The effects are robust after controlling for fixed individual characteristics that can influence both employment status and well-being outcomes.
