Non-Standard Employment and Job Satisfaction

This project is being conducted as part of a larger research program titled, The Dynamics of Economic and Social Change: An Analysis of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey.

Its main objective is to use the HILDA Survey data to test the hypothesis that non-standard employment, and especially casual employment, equates with sub-standard employment. The results cast strong doubt on this hypothesis.

The project has given rise to the following publication:

Wooden, M. and Warren, D., Non-standard Employment and Job Satisfaction: Evidence from the HILDA Survey, Journal of Industrial Relations 46, September 2004, pp. 275-297 (with Diana Warren).

A working paper has also been produced and can be downloaded from the link below.
