Doctoral Dissertation Research: Determinants and Consequences of Contingent Work

这是博士学位论文研究计划助学金下的一个奖项。这项研究涉及四种不断增长的临时工作现象：兼职、临时、外包和独立合同。它涉及到就业和劳动力不平等的理论。一些现有的数据来源将用来汇编一套全面的数据集，以分析或有工作的决定因素及其对不平等的影响。这项研究将有助于从社会学角度理解社会分层、工作和经济社会学。这将对关注劳动力不平等和就业政策的政策制定者有所帮助。除了这项研究将获得的科学成果外，这一奖项还将对一位非常有前途的学生完成博士论文的研究提供实质性的帮助。从而为国家未来的科学人才和下一代社会科学家的深入培养做出贡献。

This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. The research deals with the growing phenomenon of contingent work of four kinds: part-time, temporary, out-sourced, and independent contract. It relates to theories of employment and labor force inequality.
