The flexibility of labour markets has entailed a growing use of temporary employment that is associated with limited work arrangements that are often unprotected, poorly paid, and socio-economically insecure. Yet, the factors that shape the patterning of temporary employment and its types (seasonal, casual, and contract jobs) are relatively unknown in Canada. Using data from Statistics Canada's 2016 Labour Force Survey and the 2016 Census, this paper examines the spatial characteristics influencing the patterns of temporary employment and its types across Canada's census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations (CMAs/CAs). We hypothesize that geographies characterized by a high proportion of immigrants, highly educated populations, and highly unemployed populations have a greater likelihood of workers employed in temporary employment and its types. Our analyses support these hypotheses as population characteristics (CMAs/CAs with a high share of Asian immigrants); labour market characteristics (unemployment rate and prevalence of low income in CMAs/CAs); and human capital characteristics (CMAs/CAs characterized by a large share of populations with a bachelor's degree or higher) contributed more to explaining positive temporary employment outcomes than did occupation characteristics. This study adds valuable insights into the spatial dimensions of labour market insecurity that could be valuable in formulating place-based policies that address labour market inequalities.

加拿大临时就业的空间维度

劳动力市场的灵活性导致越来越多地使用临时工作,这与有限的工作安排相关,这些工作安排通常不受保护、报酬低且社会经济不安全。然而,影响临时就业模式及其类型(季节性、临时和合同工作)的因素在加拿大相对未知。本文使用加拿大统计局 2016 年劳动力调查和 2016 年人口普查的数据,研究了影响加拿大人口普查大都市区和人口普查聚集区 (CMA/CA) 的临时就业模式及其类型的空间特征。我们假设以高比例的移民、受过高等教育的人口、和高度失业的人口更有可能雇用临时就业及其类型的工人。我们的分析支持这些假设作为人口特征(亚洲移民比例高的 CMA/CA);劳动力市场特征(CMA/CA 中的失业率和低收入流行率);和人力资本特征(CMA/CA 的特点是拥有学士学位或更高学历的人口比例很大)比职业特征更有助于解释积极的临时就业结果。这项研究增加了对劳动力市场不安全空间维度的宝贵见解,这些见解对于制定解决劳动力市场不平等的基于地方的政策可能很有价值。我们的分析支持这些假设作为人口特征(亚洲移民比例高的 CMA/CA);劳动力市场特征(CMA/CA 中的失业率和低收入流行率);和人力资本特征(CMA/CA 的特点是拥有学士学位或更高学历的人口比例很大)比职业特征更有助于解释积极的临时就业结果。这项研究增加了对劳动力市场不安全空间维度的宝贵见解,这些见解对于制定解决劳动力市场不平等的基于地方的政策可能很有价值。我们的分析支持这些假设作为人口特征(亚洲移民比例高的 CMA/CA);劳动力市场特征(CMA/CA 中的失业率和低收入流行率);和人力资本特征(CMA/CA 的特点是拥有学士学位或更高学历的人口比例很大)比职业特征更有助于解释积极的临时就业结果。这项研究增加了对劳动力市场不安全空间维度的宝贵见解,这些见解对于制定解决劳动力市场不平等的基于地方的政策可能很有价值。和人力资本特征(CMA/CA 的特点是拥有学士学位或更高学历的人口比例很大)比职业特征更有助于解释积极的临时就业结果。这项研究增加了对劳动力市场不安全空间维度的宝贵见解,这些见解对于制定解决劳动力市场不平等的基于地方的政策可能很有价值。和人力资本特征(以拥有学士学位或更高学历的人口占很大比例为特征的 CMA/CA)比职业特征更有助于解释积极的临时就业结果。这项研究增加了对劳动力市场不安全空间维度的宝贵见解,这些见解对于制定解决劳动力市场不平等的基于地方的政策可能很有价值。
