Abstract

While the poverty risks associated with transitions to and from different forms of non‐standard employment (NSE) have been studied extensively, poverty research on NSE histories remains fuzzy. Therefore, this study focuses on persons with NSE histories whose earnings contribute significantly to the household income, asking to what extent they are exposed to income poverty risks during their main career phase and examining the role of employment, family and sociodemographic characteristics. Employment histories were observed over 10 years using German Socio‐Economic Panel data from 2001 to 2020. A sequence cluster analysis identified four NSE clusters with increased poverty risks, namely, those with increasing and permanent low‐part‐time work, those who were mainly temporary agency‐employed or had long episodes of fixed‐term employment. Multivariate regressions considering employment‐specific, care‐related and sociodemographic characteristics revealed a network of cumulative disadvantages related to gender, occupational position, care obligations and structural disadvantages for those clusters.

如果不只是额外收入呢？德国非标准工作经历的贫困风险

虽然与不同形式的非标准就业（NSE）过渡相关的贫困风险已被广泛研究，但有关非标准就业历史的贫困研究仍然模糊不清。因此，本研究将重点放在有非标准就业经历且收入对家庭收入有重大贡献的人身上，询问他们在主要职业生涯阶段面临收入贫困风险的程度，并研究就业、家庭和社会人口特征的作用。利用 2001 年至 2020 年的德国社会经济面板数据，对 10 年的就业历史进行了观察。通过序列聚类分析，确定了贫困风险增加的四个 NSE 聚类，即从事越来越多的长期低兼职工作的聚类、主要从事临时中介工作的聚类或长期从事固定期限工作的聚类。考虑到特定就业、与护理相关和社会人口特征的多变量回归显示，这些群组存在与性别、职业地位、护理义务和结构性劣势相关的累积劣势网络。
