The aim of this article is to describe and explain the development of temporary employment in Sweden between 1992 and 2010, and to investigate the effect of temporary employment for individuals’ future career on the labor market. The article analyzes temporary employees’ status transitions on the labor market using Swedish Labour Force Survey (LFS) data for the period 1992–2010. Each cohort consists of 2-year panels and focuses on changes between the first and last measuring points. The findings indicate that the specific type of temporary employment is crucial as regards whether or not it constitutes a stepping-stone toward permanent employment. The chances are greater in the case of, for example, substitutes, but are considerably less in the case of on-call employment. Certain types of temporary employment thus seem to be used by the employer to screen the employability of the employee, while others are used for achieving flexibility

AbstractThe paper investigates the relation between overeducation and self-employment, in a comparative analysis between immigrants and natives. Using the EU Labour Force Survey for the year 2012 and controlling for a list of demographic characteristics and general characteristics of 30 destination countries, it finds that the likelihood of being overeducated decreases for self-employed immigrants, with inconclusive results for self-employed natives. The results shed light on the extent to which immigrants adjust to labor market imperfections and barriers to employment and might help explain the higher incidence of self-employment that immigrants exhibit, when compared to natives. This is the first study to systematically study the nexus between overeducation and self-employment in a comparative framework. Moreover, the paper tests the robustness of the results by employing two different measures of overeducation, contributing to the literature of the measurement of overeducation.

This study compares the labour market trajectories of the temporary employed in Norway with those in Sweden. Sweden’s employment protection legislation gap between the strict protection of permanent employment and the loose regulation of temporary employment has widened in recent decades, while Norway has maintained balanced and strict regulation of both employment types. The study asserts that the two countries differ concerning the distribution of trajectories, leading to permanent employment and trajectories that do not create firmer labour market attachment. Using sequence analysis to analyse two-year panels of the labour force survey for 1997–2011, several different trajectories are discerned in the two countries. The bridge trajectories dominate in Norway, while dead-end trajectories are more common in Sweden. Moreover, the bridge trajectories are selected to stronger categories (mid-aged and higher educated) in Sweden than in Norway. The results are discussed from the perspective of labour market dualisation.

Main Pattern

In the Swedish labour market, recent research has revealed tendencies of both dualisation – implying growth in temporary employment – and polarisation – referring to increased employment in both low- and high-paid jobs, while middle-paid jobs decrease. This study explores the relationships between changes in the occupational structure and the distribution of temporary employment. Using the Labour Force Survey and comparing changes between 2000 and 2015, the study shows a main pattern of upgrading. However, splitting the analysis into permanent and temporary employment, tendencies of polarisation are revealed: growth at the low-paid end consists of temporary employment, while the increase at the high-paid end is mainly of open-ended contracts. Different kinds of temporary contracts matter – on-call employees are more likely to be found at the low end, and project workers at the high end. The study shows increasing precariousness in the lower end of the occupational structure.

The article attempts to present the situation of young people aged 25—34, which — in general — take important life decisions. For this purpose, the author studied spatial conditions for the creation by these people own household as well as participation in the labor market and further training. The relationship between these phenomena is discussed. The study was conducted for the European countries (with particular emphasis on the situation in Poland) based on data for the years 2013 and 2014 from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the Labour Force Survey (LFS). As a result, groups of similar countries have been determined in terms of living conditions of young people.

Economic and social disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic have important implications for gender and class inequality. Drawing on Statistics Canada’s monthly Labour Force Survey, we document trends in gender gaps in employment and work hours over the pandemic (February–October 2020). Our findings highlight the importance of care provisions for gender equity, with gaps larger among parents than people without children, and most pronounced when care and employment were more difficult to reconcile. When employment barriers eased, so did the gender–employment gap. The pandemic could not undo longer-standing cultural and structural shifts motivating contemporary mothers’ employment. The pandemic also exacerbated educational inequalities among women, highlighting the importance of assessing gendered impacts through an intersectional lens.
