Casual Employment in Australia: A Further Analysis

John Mangan () and Christine Williams

Australian Economic Papers, 1999, vol. 38, issue 1, 40-50

Abstract: Casual employment is steadily increasing its share of total employment in Australia. This paper analyses some of the factors that have led to this situation by extending the work of Simpson, Dawkins and Madden (1997). The results, while confirming some of their research and clarifying the role of union membership in limiting the spread of casual employment, also show that the determinants of casual employment in Australia are sensitive to the period of estimation and the form of model used.
