Working at the margin: the consequences of non-standard employment

该项目计划使用随时间跟踪澳大利亚人的调查数据来检查非标准就业对劳动力市场结果以及对他们的健康和福祉的影响。约40%的澳大利亚工人从事非标准形式的就业。这类工作通常与工作不稳定、不可预测的工作时间和有限的职业发展机会有关，这些都可能对工人的福祉和长期就业前景产生负面影响。但这样的工作也可以作为进入劳动力市场的关键切入点，对一些工人来说，可能更符合个人偏好。项目结果可能会为目前关于是否需要对就业安排进行更多或更少监管的辩论提供参考。

This project plans to use survey data tracking Australians through time to examine the impacts of non-standard employment on labour market outcomes and on their health and wellbeing. Around 40 per cent of Australian workers are in non-standard forms of employment. Such jobs are typically associated with job insecurity, unpredictable working hours, and limited opportunities for career progression, which can all negatively affect worker wellbeing and long-term employment prospects. But such jobs can also serve as a crucial entry point into the labour market, and for some workers may be a better match with personal preferences. Project results may inform current debates about the need for greater or lesser regulation of employment arrangements.
