Factors Associated with Casual Employment: Evidence from the AWIRS

Mark Wooden and Anne Hawke

The Economic and Labour Relations Review, 1998, vol. 9, issue 1, 82-107

Abstract: This article uses data from the Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Surveys conducted in 1989/90 and 1995 to examine the related questions of: (i) what are the characteristics of workers who accept casual employment; and (ii) what types of workplaces and firms are most likely to employ workers on a casual basis. The evidence presented suggests that while supply-side characteristics are not unimportant, demand-side factors appear to provide more likely explanations for changes in the overall level of casual employment.
