A central element of the neoliberal phase of capitalism is the flexibilization of labor and the consequent prevalence of precarious work. Here, we discuss flexibilization, develop a definition and measure of precarious work using the Contingent Work Supplement to the Current Population Survey, and examine the gender composition of precarious work in the United States. We find that gender and racial hierarchies persist in precarious jobs over the 1995–2017 period. Women—and women with children in particular—are over-represented in precarious jobs compared to men. Our findings call for a consideration of the impact of the changing nature of work on different groups of workers, and a renewed role for policy to ensure equitable terms of social reproduction.

美国的性别和不稳定工作:来自 1995-2017 年临时工作补充资料的证据

资本主义新自由主义阶段的一个核心要素是劳动力的灵活化以及随之而来的不稳定工作的盛行。在这里,我们讨论了灵活性,使用当前人口调查的临时工作补充来制定不稳定工作的定义和衡量标准,并检查美国不稳定工作的性别构成。我们发现,在 1995-2017 年期间,性别和种族等级制度在不稳定的工作中持续存在。与男性相比,女性——尤其是有孩子的女性——在不稳定的工作中所占比例过高。我们的研究结果要求考虑不断变化的工作性质对不同工人群体的影响,并重新发挥政策作用,以确保社会再生产的公平条件。
