Abstract

U ovom se izvješću istražuju društvene skupine čija povezanost s tržištem rada može biti nestabilna i za koje je najvjerojatnije da će imati nestandardne radne aranžmane. Razmatraju se i posljedice takvih aranžmana i nesigurnosti radnih mjesta za dobrobit radnika, njihovu socijalnu isključenost, povjerenje, percepciju pravednosti i političko sudjelovanje. U izvješću se navodi da su ugovori na određeno vrijeme, neformalni rad i nesigurni poslovi povezani s negativnim rezultatima kad je riječ o socijalnoj isključenosti i povjerenju, dok se nesigurnost radnih mjesta dodatno povezuje s lošijom dobrobiti. Opisuju se nedavni primjeri politika koje se bave nestabilnošću tržišta rada, s naglaskom na dugoročnim mjerama u razdoblju nakon pandemije.

Key findings

•    Iako su u proteklom desetljeću kratkoročni ugovori o radu na određeno vrijeme postali rjeđi, i dalje su relativno rašireni u nekim državama članicama, uglavnom među mladima i stranim državljanima s niskom razinom obrazovanja koji ne mogu pronaći stalno zaposlenje, posebno u obrazovnom i zdravstvenom sektoru. Radnici na određeno vrijeme često rade prekovremeno, osjećaju se podzaposlenima i najvjerojatnije će potražiti drugi posao.

•    Ugovori na određeno vrijeme i nesigurnost radnih mjesta povezuju se s manjim povjerenjem u druge osobe i slabijom percepcijom pravednosti. Radnici s ugovorima na određeno vrijeme, radnici bez formalnog ugovora, kao i radnici s nesigurnim radnim mjestom, manje su zadovoljni funkcioniranjem demokracije u svojoj zemlji.

•    Manje je vjerojatno da će osobe s ugovorima na određeno vrijeme, kao i osobe s nesigurnim radnim mjestom, izaći na izbore, čak i ako se iz analize isključe strani državljani koji nemaju biračkog pravo (koji su prekomjerno zastupljeni u tim kategorijama). Također je manje vjerojatno da će te osobe sudjelovati u prosvjedima, što je simptomatično za neangažiranost.

•    Obveze skrbi glavni su razlog za rad na nepuno radno vrijeme, pri čemu je vjerojatnost rada na nepuno radno vrijeme gotovo tri puta veća za žene nego za muškarce, a razlika je čak i veća između onih koji su roditelji i onih koji to nisu. Iako je nesvojevoljni rad na nepuno radno vrijeme u padu od vremena velike recesije, radnici s nepunim radnim vremenom spremniji su raditi prekovremeno te je vjerojatnije da će potražiti drugi posao nego radnici s punim radnim vremenom, što potvrđuje prethodne nalaze da se određeni dio „svojevoljnog” rada na nepuno radno vrijeme obavlja iz nužde.

•    Iako nije utvrđeno da su ugovori o radu na određeno vrijeme povezani s dobrobiti, percipirana nesigurnost radnog mjesta ipak je povezana s nižom razinom životnog zadovoljstva, narušenim zdravljem i mentalnom dobrobiti te većom vjerojatnošću osjećaja isključenosti iz društva. Povezanost socijalne isključenosti i nesigurnosti radnog mjesta slična je odnosu između socijalne isključenosti i nezaposlenosti, što upućuje na to da je moguća opasnost od nezaposlenosti dovoljna da bi se radnici osjećali isključenima iz društva.
