Selected AbstractsMoving from Unemployment to Permanent Employment: Could a Casual Job Accelerate the Transition?THE AUSTRALIAN ECONOMIC REVIEW, Issue 4 2001Jenny Chalmers This article compares the time taken to exit from unemployment to permanent work with the time taken to exit from unemployment to permanent work through casual work. [source] The operation and management of agency workers in conditions of vulnerabilityINDUSTRIAL RELATIONS JOURNAL, Issue 5 2010Sonia McKay ABSTRACT This article focuses on the operation and management of agency labour by employers and observes that there are strong contradictions between the employers' stated reasons for using agency labour and the employment agencies' perceptions of why such labour is utilised. While discussing agency labour generally, the article also takes account of the position of migrant workers within the agency sector, since agencies have represented a significant route into employment for migrant labour. It draws primarily on 22 in-depth interviews with employers and employment agencies mainly in the food processing, cleaning and care sectors. The research revealed that while some employers were using agency staff to cover for specific peaks in production, others had used it as an alternative method of dealing with vacancies that otherwise might have resulted in permanent employment. [source] From temporary help jobs to permanent employment: what can we learn from matching estimators and their sensitivity?JOURNAL OF APPLIED ECONOMETRICS, Issue 3 2008Andrea Ichino The diffusion of temporary work agency (TWA) jobs has led to a harsh policy debate and ambiguous empirical evidence. Results for the USA, based on quasi-experimental evidence, suggest that a TWA assignment decreases the probability of finding a stable job, while results for Europe, based on the conditional independence assumption (CIA), typically reach opposite conclusions. Using data for two Italian regions, we rely on a matching estimator to show that TWA assignments can be an effective springboard to permanent employment. We also propose a simulation-based sensitivity analysis, which highlights that only for one of these two regions are our results robust to specific failures of the CIA. We conclude that European studies based on the CIA should not be automatically discarded, but should be put under the scrutiny of a sensitivity analysis like the one we propose.
