Abstract

V tem poročilu so proučene družbene skupine, katerih povezanost s trgom dela je lahko nestabilna in za katere je najbolj verjetno, da bodo imele nestandardne delovne ureditve, ter posledice tovrstnih ureditev in negotovosti zaposlitve za dobro počutje delavcev, socialno izključenost, zaupanje, dojemanje pravičnosti in politično udejstvovanje. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imajo pogodbe o zaposlitvi za določen čas, neformalno delo in negotova delovna mesta negativne posledice, ko gre za socialno izključenost in zaupanje, negotovost zaposlitve pa še dodatno vpliva na slabše počutje. Predstavljeni so tudi nedavni primeri politik, ki se ukvarjajo s problematiko nestabilnosti na trgu dela in se osredotočajo na dolgoročnejše ukrepe v obdobju po pandemiji.

Key findings

•    Čeprav so v zadnjem desetletju kratkoročne pogodbe za določen čas med zaposlenimi manj pogoste, so v nekaterih državah članicah še vedno razmeroma razširjene, predvsem pri mladih in tujcih z nizko stopnjo izobrazbe, ki ne morejo najti stalne zaposlitve, zlasti v šolstvu in zdravstvu. Delavci s pogodbami za zaposlitev za določen čas imajo pogosto dolg delavnik, se počutijo podzaposlene in najverjetneje iščejo druga delovna mesta.

•    Osebe brez stalnih pogodb o zaposlitvi in negotovo zaposlitvijo manj zaupajo drugim ljudem in imajo slabše dojemanje pravičnosti. Delavci, ki nimajo stalne zaposlitve, in tisti brez formalne pogodbe o zaposlitvi so manj zadovoljni z delovanjem demokracije v svoji državi, prav tako so manj zadovoljni tisti, ki se srečujejo z negotovostjo zaposlitve.

•    Tako obstaja manjša verjetnost, da bosta ti dve skupini odšli na volitve, četudi so iz analize izključeni državljani, ki nimajo volilne pravice (ki pa jih je v teh kategorijah nadpovprečno veliko). Prav tako je manj verjetno, da se bodo udeležili demonstracij, kar je znak njihovega distanciranja od političnega dogajanja.

•    Glavni razlog za delo s krajšim delovnim časom so obveznosti oskrbe, pri čemer je skoraj trikrat bolj verjetno, da bodo za krajši delovni čas zaposlene ženske kot moški, razlika pa je še večja med tistimi, ki imajo otroke, v primerjavi s tistimi, ki jih nimajo. Čeprav se stopnja neprostovoljnega dela s krajšim delovnim časom od velike recesije dalje nenehno zmanjšuje, so delavci s krajšim delovnim časom pogosteje pripravljeni delati več ur in zato iščejo še drugo zaposlitev kot delavci, zaposleni s polnim delovnim časom, kar potrjuje prejšnje ugotovitve, da je nekaj „prostovoljnega“ dela s krajšim delovnim časom opravljenega iz nuje.

•    Čeprav je bilo ugotovljeno, da pogodbe o zaposlitvi za določen čas načeloma ne vplivajo na blaginjo, je zaznana negotovost zaposlitve povezana z manjšim zadovoljstvom z življenjem, slabšim zdravstvenim stanjem in duševnim zdravjem ter večjo verjetnostjo občutka izključenosti iz družbe. Povezava med socialno izključenostjo in negotovostjo zaposlitve je podobna razmerju med socialno izključenostjo in brezposelnostjo, kar kaže, da grozeča nevarnost brezposelnosti že zadostuje, da se delavci počutijo izključeni iz družbe.
