Dualization or liberalization? Investigating precarious work in eight European countries
基于八个欧洲国家的实地研究，探讨了不稳定工作的驱动因素，发现公共部门的放松管制策略是主要推手，而二元化理论仅适用于保守-法团主义国家，自由化理论更适合英语和地中海国家。
A recent upsurge in the incidence of precarious work in Europe necessitates fresh examination of the origins of this trend. On the basis of field research in eight European countries and with reference to theories of liberalization and dualization, the factors that drive precarious work in discrete European labour markets are thus investigated. It is discovered that, while a structural-demographic factor such as non-compliance with labour law is a notable progenitor of precarious work, the deregulatory strategies of public authorities are particularly significant drivers. In conclusion it is asserted that although the theory of dualization helps explain developments in conservative-corporatist countries, in Anglophone and Mediterranean countries liberalization theory is generally more apposite. Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries emerge as a hybrid case.
