Gig-jobs: Stepping stones or dead ends?
通过瑞典的对应研究,比较了高中毕业生在零工经验、传统经验和失业经历后的回电率,发现零工经验对多数求职者优于失业但不如传统经验,而对少数族裔则无帮助。
How useful is work experience from the gig economy for labor market entrants searching for traditional wage jobs? We conducted a correspondence study in Sweden, comparing callback rates for recent high school graduates with (i) gig-experience, (ii) traditional experience, and (iii) unemployment history. We also study heterogeneous responses with respect to perceived foreign background. Our findings suggest that gig-experience is more valuable than unemployment, but less useful than traditional experience for majority applicants. Strikingly however, no form of labor market experience increases the callback rate for minority workers.
