Gender (in)equality contested: externalising employment in the construction industry
本文基于访谈和问卷数据，研究建筑业中技术工作的外部化如何通过核心与边缘工人的组织过程产生性别不平等，发现边缘工人可能处于特权地位。
In construction and engineering, workers from different organisations work together, often on a project‐by‐project basis. Drawing on the theoretical framework of inequality regimes as presented by Acker (2006a), and the externalisation of employment relations presented by Kalleberg et al . (2003), this article investigates the gendered implications of the externalisation of technological work in the construction industry. The empirical material is based upon interviews and a questionnaire answered by regular employees, contracted staff and independent contractors working in the construction industry. The data reveal how non‐standard employments are parts of the organising processes that produce gendered inequalities between core and peripheral workers. This finding does not suggest that peripheral work indicates poor working conditions, to be more precise, peripheral workers can be in the most privileged positions.
