The impact of involuntary job displacement on participation in gig work: A causal analysis
利用加拿大行政数据与人口普查记录，研究发现企业倒闭导致的非自愿失业使劳动者在失业后一年内从事零工工作的概率增加约24%（1.1个百分点），但多数人仍主要依赖传统就业。
Abstract We used rich Canadian administrative data linked to census records to examine the impact of firm closures and involuntary job displacement on entry into gig work. Similar to several recent studies, we identified gig workers as unincorporated self‐employed freelancers, independent consultants and on‐demand workers. We found that individuals displaced from closing firms are about 24% (1.1 p.p.) more likely to be gig workers in the year following the displacement year than the control group. We show that displaced workers remain strongly attached to traditional employment, and those who take up gig work often combine it with earning wages and salaries.
