Who has two jobs and why? Evidence from rural coastal communities in west Scotland
研究苏格兰西海岸农村社区中从事渔业和水产养殖的居民同时拥有两份工作的现象,发现工时限制是水产养殖雇员兼职的主因,而教育水平对兼职有正向影响。
Abstract This article examines the incidence of and reasons for multiple‐job holding in the context of rural communities where multiple‐job holding is viewed as an important means of promoting community sustainability. Drawing upon a unique data set of a relatively homogeneous population living in an isolated area on the west coast of Scotland, where employment opportunities are limited, dual‐job holding is investigated within the fisheries and aquaculture occupations. Evidence is found that the hours constraints motive for multiple‐job holding better explains multiple‐job‐holding behavior among employed rural workers in aquaculture than among self‐employed fishermen, and that educational attainment has a positive impact on the incidence of multiple‐job holding.
