Estimating the Life-cycle of Stanadard and Nonstandard Work

Abstract

This article analyzes life-cycle of standard and nonstandard workers. Age-profiles of employment status are estimated by the synthetic cohort analysis. We find the age effects and the cohort effects. As workers are getting older, they move from standard workers to nonstandard or self-employed. Also, proportions of standard workers in younger cohorts are higher than older ones. It is mainly due to the decrease of workers moving from standard work to the self-employed, not that of workers moving from standard work to nonstandard.
