Forschungsprojekt gemeinsam mit Andrea Weber (IHS und UC Berkeley) und Ulrike Muehlberger (WiFo), finanziert durch den Jubiläumsfonds der Oesterreichischen Nationalbank (#11090).
This project explores the dynamics of flexible work arrangements and investigates whether or not flexible work may be a tool to integrate individuals into the labour market. Our main research questions are the following: Does flexible work enhance the chances of regular work in the medium-term? Do workers in flexible contracts suffer wage penalties after switching to regular employment? We look at labour market transitions and medium-term wage penalties of part-time and marginal workers as well temporary and agency workers.
