本文通过结合英国家庭纵向研究和劳动力调查数据以及离散时间模型，检验了这样一种假设，即不稳定的工作时间或可变工资会增加英国处于工作年龄的非就业人员的找到工作的机会。我们没有发现任何证据表明不稳定的工作在非就业人员的当地劳动力市场中的份额对转移到就业的可能性有影响。这一结果既适用于男性和女性，也适用于受教育程度低和长期失业者等就业能力较低的群体。对于定义不稳定工作的其他方式，以及对未被观察到的异质性的纳入，它都是稳健的。总体而言，调查结果令人怀疑不稳定工作对英国创造就业的重要性。
This article tests the hypothesis that unstable jobs with variable hours or pay enhance the job-finding chances of the working-age non-employed in the UK, by using a combination of the UK Household Longitudinal Study and the Labour Force Survey data and a discrete time model. We find no evidence on the share of unstable jobs in the non-employed person’s local labour market impacts on the probability to move into employment. This result holds both for men and women and for groups with low employability such as the low educated and the long-term unemployed. It is robust to alternative ways of defining unstable jobs and to the inclusion of unobserved heterogeneity. Overall, findings cast doubt on the importance of unstable jobs for employment creation in the UK.
