本文概述了澳大利亚非标准就业的普遍性及其趋势。根据《澳大利亚家庭、收入和劳动力动态调查》（2001-2017年）的最新数据，2001年非标准就业在总就业中的比例估计为54.9%。在最近的数据（2017年）中，这一比例仅略高-55.6%。尽管如此，在此期间发生了重大变化，非标准工人的比例在2008年之前一直在下降，此后再次上升。在广泛的非标准就业类别中，个别就业类型的普遍性朝着不同的方向发展。虽然临时就业的总体趋势是最初下降，最近有所增加，但长期非全时工作和定期合同在总就业中所占的份额在这一期间的大部分时间里都有所增加，自营职业的情况则相反。这些趋势只能在有限的程度上用工人和工作特点的变化来解释，从而得出结论，这些变化主要是由于工人的择业行为改变和/或雇主的雇用做法改变。
This article provides an overview of the measurement of, and trends in, the prevalence of non-standard employment in Australia. Using the most recent data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (2001-2017), the share of non-standard employment in total employment is estimated to have been 54.9% in 2001. In the most recent data (for 2017) the share is only slightly higher - 55.6%. Still, the intervening period was marked by significant changes, with the share of non-standard workers declining until 2008, and increasing again since then. Within the broad group of non-standard employment, the prevalence of individual employment types has developed in different directions. While casual employment has followed the overall trend of an initial decline followed by a recent increase, the shares of permanent part-time work and fixed-term contracts in total employment have increased throughout most of the period, and the reverse is true of self-employment. These trends can only to a limited degree be explained by changes in worker and job characteristics, leading to the conclusion that these changes are primarily due to changed job selection behaviour of workers and/or changed hiring practices of employers.
