Flexible Contract Workers in Inferior Jobs: Reappraising the Evidence
本文构建工作质量指数，综合评估灵活就业合同的主客观维度（如工资、培训、工作满意度），发现灵活岗位质量较低，且主客观评价存在差异。
Abstract There is concern that the increase in flexible employment contracts witnessed in many OECD economies is evidence of a growth in low‐pay, low‐quality jobs. In practice, it is difficult to evaluate the ‘quality’ of flexible jobs. Previous research has primarily investigated objective measures of job quality such as wages and training or subjective measures such as job satisfaction. We jointly evaluate these elements of flexible employment contracts using a job quality index. Analysis of this index demonstrates that flexible jobs are of a lower quality. Differences in the subjective and objective assessment of factors like pay and hours are evident.
