Atypische Beschäftigung
Vollzeit, unbefristet und fest angestellt - das typische Normalarbeitsverhältnis ist zwar immer noch die Regel. Doch arbeiten die Erwerbstätigen heute vermehrt auch befristet, in Teilzeit- und Minijobs, in Leiharbeitsverhältnissen oder als Solo-Selbständige. Was sind die Konsequenzen der zunehmenden Bedeutung atypischer Beschäftigungsformen für die Erwerbstätigen, die Arbeitslosen und die Betriebe? Welche Bedeutung haben sie für die sozialen Sicherungssysteme, das Beschäftigungsniveau und die Durchlässigkeit des Arbeitsmarktes? Die IAB-Infoplattform bietet Informationen zum Forschungsstand.

Constructing Mobilities: The Reproduction of Posted Workers' Disposability in the Construction Sector (2024)
Zitatform
Bagnardi, Francesco, Devi Sacchetto & Francesca Alice Vianello (2024): Constructing Mobilities: The Reproduction of Posted Workers' Disposability in the Construction Sector. In: Work, Employment and Society online erschienen am 30.01.2024, S. 1-22. DOI:10.1177/09500170231225622
Abstract
"Posted work is often framed as a business model based on social dumping. Widespread regulatory evasion is imputed to regulation’s opacity, firms’ predatory practices and trade unions’ inability to organise posted workers. Isolation and precariousness channel posted workers’ agency into individualized reworking or exit strategies. These perspectives, however insightful, focus either on formal regulations, enforcement actors or host countries ’ institutional settings. Drawing on biographical interviews with Italian construction workers posted abroad, and semi-structured interviews with non-posted workers and stakeholders of the sector in Italy, the article adopts an actor-centred perspective and mobilises the concept of labour regime to show how its disciplining elements operating in the construction sector in Italy stick with workers during their postings and enhance their disposability. Although this sticky labor regime constrains workers’ agency abroad, it remains continuously contested and offers ways for workers to subvert it and improve their employment conditions."

Befristungsbezogene Anerkennungsdefizite junger, verpartnerter Männer und Frauen in Deutschland. In welchem Ausmaß treten sie auf und wie können sie verringert werden? (2024)
Baron, Daniel;Zitatform
Baron, Daniel (2024): Befristungsbezogene Anerkennungsdefizite junger, verpartnerter Männer und Frauen in Deutschland. In welchem Ausmaß treten sie auf und wie können sie verringert werden? In: Sozialer Fortschritt, Jg. 73, H. 2, S. 109-130. DOI:10.3790/sfo.73.2.109
Abstract
"Das Durchlaufen befristeter Beschäftigung zu Beginn der Erwerbslaufbahn geht zumeist sowohl mit vergleichsweise geringen Einkommen als auch hohen subjektiven Unsicherheiten einher. Für die Erklärung damit einhergehender subjektiver Anerkennungsdefizite spielen ungleiche Prekarisierungsrisiken für Frauen und Männer eine wichtige Rolle. Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Frage, inwieweit Befristung bei jungen, verpartnerten Männern und Frauen zu erhöhten Anerkennungsdefiziten führt und ob eine als stabil empfundene (heterosexuelle) Paarbeziehung die empfundenen Anerkennungsdefizite verringert. Die Analysen werden auf Basis einer bundesweiten Stichprobe aus 179 Personen im Alter von 18 bis 35 Jahren durchgeführt, die 2012/13 erhoben wurde als die Entwicklung befristeter Beschäftigung in Deutschland einen Höchststand erreicht hatte Es zeigt sich ein signifikanter, U-förmiger Zusammenhang zwischen Befristungsanteilen an der Erwerbsbiographie und wahrgenommenen Anerkennungsdefiziten für junge, verpartnerte Männer. Bei Frauen ist dieser Zusammenhang statistisch nicht signifikant. Entgegen desintegrations- und anerkennungstheoretischer Annahmen übt eine als stabil wahrgenommene Partnerschaft im Befristungskontext keine hemmende Wirkung auf Anerkennungsdefizite aus. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird für öffentliche Diskursanstöße zu einer paarbezogenen Anerkennungsarbeit in Anbetracht einer sich flexibilisierenden Arbeitswelt plädiert." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Hiring Temps but Losing Perms? Temporary Worker Inflows and Voluntary Turnover of Permanent Employees (2024)
Zitatform
Bonet, Rocio, Marta Elvira & Stefano Visintin (2024): Hiring Temps but Losing Perms? Temporary Worker Inflows and Voluntary Turnover of Permanent Employees. In: Work, Employment and Society, Jg. 38, H. 1, S. 83-102. DOI:10.1177/09500170221103135
Abstract
"This article investigates the effect of hiring temporary workers on the voluntary turnover of permanent employees. It argues that inflows of temporary workers erode the working conditions of permanent employees, prompting their voluntary departure. Using a unique panel dataset of individual-level monthly payroll data over an eight-year period in a sample of Spanish companies, a positive association between temporary worker inflows and the voluntary turnover of permanent workers is found. The results are robust to diverse specifications and are strongest for firms in non-manufacturing sectors and for firms that hire proportionally more low-skilled workers, contexts where the hiring of temporary workers may be more disruptive for permanent employees. Since the hiring of temporary workers is unlikely to threaten the employment of permanent employees in the dual labour market of Spain, the results indicate serious disruption costs associated with temporary hiring in organisations."

Is part-time employment a temporary 'stepping stone' or a lasting 'mommy track'? Legislation and mothers' transition to full-time employment in Germany (2024)
Zitatform
Brehm, Uta & Nadja Milewski (2024): Is part-time employment a temporary 'stepping stone' or a lasting 'mommy track'? Legislation and mothers' transition to full-time employment in Germany. In: Journal of European Social Policy online erschienen am 30.01.2024, S. 1-16. DOI:10.1177/09589287231224607
Abstract
"Research on reconciling family and employment debates if maternal part-time employment works as ‘stepping stone’ to full-time employment or as gateway to a long-term ‘mommy track’. We analyze how mothers’ transition from part-time to full-time employment is shaped by changing reconciliation legislations and how this is moderated by reconciliation-relevant factors like individual behaviors and macro conditions. We extend the literature on work–family reconciliation by investigating mothers’ employment behavior after the birth of their last child, i.e., after the family formative phase. We draw upon Germany with its considerable regional and historical heterogeneity. Using event history methods on SOEP-data, we observe mothers who (re)enter part-time employment (i.e., up to 30 weekly working hours) after their last childbirth. Results suggest that the impact of reconciliation legislations depends on the moderation by other factors. Recent reconciliation-friendly legislations may have contributed to the polarization of maternal employment patterns: more and less employment-oriented mothers diverge sooner after childbirth than before. Legislations co-occur with increases both in childcare institutions and part-time culture, but their moderation effects compete. Hence, boosting part-time work as either a ‘stepping stone’ or a ‘mommy track’ requires a deep understanding of the mechanisms behind legislations as well as more explicit policy incentives."

Starting flexible, always flexible? The relation of early temporary employment and young workers employment trajectories in the Netherlands (2024)
Zitatform
Eberlein, Laura, Dimitris Pavlopoulos & Mauricio Garnier-Villarreal (2024): Starting flexible, always flexible? The relation of early temporary employment and young workers employment trajectories in the Netherlands. In: Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, Jg. 89. DOI:10.1016/j.rssm.2023.100861
Abstract
"Using register data from Statistics Netherlands (2009–2019), this paper examines whether the first employment contract is related to early career outcomes for a cohort of young workers who entered the Dutch labor market in the period from late 2009–2013. Instead of looking at the timing of isolated transitions between employment states, 6-year-long trajectories are considered to identify differences in early career paths. Applying a Mixture Hidden Markov Model, eight distinct states of employment quality characterized by different contract types and incomes are identified. Transitions between these employment states reveal four early career patterns that differ according to their upward and downward mobility. Our results show that entering the labor market with a permanent contract does not necessarily lead to immediate wage growth, but provides a safeguard against volatile careers with frequent transitions in and out of employment. While entering the labor market with a fixed-term contract facilitates upward mobility, on-call and temporary agency work early in the career may negatively affect long-term labor market integration."

Let's Roll Back! The Challenging Task of Regulating Temporary Contracts (2024)
Zitatform
Fiaschi, Davide & Cristina Tealdi (2024): Let's Roll Back! The Challenging Task of Regulating Temporary Contracts. (IZA discussion paper / Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit 16777), Bonn, 32 S.
Abstract
"In this paper, we evaluate the impact of a reform introduced in Italy in 2018 (Decreto Dignità), which increased the rigidity of employment protection legislation (EPL) of temporary contracts, rolling back previous policies, to reduce job instability. We use longitudinal labor force data from 2016 to 2019 and adopt a time-series technique within a Rubin Casual Model (RCM) framework to estimate the causal effect of the reform. We find that the reform was successful in reducing persistence into temporary employment and increasing the flow from temporary to permanent employment, in particular among women and young workers in the North of Italy, with significant effects on the stocks of permanent employment (+), temporary employment (-) and unemployment (-). However, this positive outcome came at the cost of higher persistence into inactivity, lower outflows from unemployment to temporary employment and higher outflows from unemployment to inactivity among males and low-educated workers."

Feeling disadvantaged? Type of employment contract and political attitudes (2024)

Gatskova, Kseniia, Michal Pilc & Maciej Beresewicz (2024): Feeling disadvantaged? Type of employment contract and political attitudes. In: Socio-economic review online erschienen am 07.03.2024, S. 1-25. DOI:10.1093/ser/mwae011
Abstract
"We tested the theory of relative deprivation in the context of the Polish labour market during the post-crisis period from 2009 to 2015. This period witnessed the highest incidence of temporary contracts in the European Union, providing novel evidence on the causal relationship between the type of employment contract and political attitudes. Our findings suggest that temporary workers are more supportive of income redistribution but less supportive of democracy. Additionally, a shift from permanent to temporary contracts among prime-aged employees leads to a decrease in their support for democracy. Although this effect is modest in magnitude, the article points to an important mechanism influencing shifts in political attitudes. Our findings suggest that the effect of temporary employment on political attitudes is more pronounced among socio-demographic groups less accustomed to unstable employment."

Einführung der Brückenteilzeit: bislang keine spürbaren Folgen für Teilzeitjobs (2024)
Gürtzgen, Nicole;Zitatform
Gürtzgen, Nicole (2024): Einführung der Brückenteilzeit: bislang keine spürbaren Folgen für Teilzeitjobs. (IAB-Forschungsbericht 02/2024), Nürnberg, 27 S. DOI:10.48720/IAB.FB.2402
Abstract
"Seit der Einführung der so genannten Brückenteilzeit zum 1. Januar 2019 können Beschäftigte ihre vertragliche Arbeitszeit für einen befristeten Zeitraum reduzieren und danach ihre ursprünglich vereinbarte Arbeitszeit wieder aufnehmen. Die Ergebnisse des vorliegenden Beitrages zeigen, dass die Reform bislang nur geringe Veränderungen der Teilzeitbeschäftigung in denjenigen Betrieben (bis 200 Beschäftigten) nach sich gezogen hat, in denen Beschäftigte vom Recht auf Brückenteilzeit Gebrauch machen können. Als von der Reform nicht betroffene Betriebe werden in der vorliegenden Analyse diejenigen Betriebe bezeichnet, die zu Unternehmen mit bis zu 45 Beschäftigten gehören. Als von der Reform betroffen werden in der Studie diejenigen Betriebe betrachtet, wenn sie zu einem Unternehmen gehören, dass mehr als 45 und bis zu 200 Beschäftigte hat. Betriebe, die zu Unternehmen mit mehr als 200 Beschäftigten gehören, waren auch von der Einführung der Brückenteilzeit betroffen, werden jedoch der schlechteren Vergleichbarkeit halber für die vorliegende Untersuchung nicht herangezogen. Der Vergleich der Teilzeitquoten in von der Reform betroffenen und nicht betroffenen Betrieben zeigt, dass die Teilzeitquoten über den gesamten Beobachtungszeitraum, also von 2014 bis 2021, in nicht betroffenen Betrieben höher ausfielen als die in betroffenen Betrieben. Dieser grundsätzliche Niveauunterschied blieb auch nach Inkrafttreten der Brückenteilzeit im Jahr 2019 bestehen. Insgesamt verzeichneten die Betriebe mit Beginn der Covid-19-Rezession einen etwas geringeren Zuwachs der sozialversicherungspflichtigen Teilzeitbeschäftigung. Der geringere Zuwachs ist sowohl bei betroffenen Betrieben zu beobachten (also bei Betrieben, die zu Unternehmen mit mehr als 45 und bis zu 200 Beschäftigten gehören) als auch bei kleineren Betrieben, die von den Regelungen ausgenommen sind. Nach der Reform hat sich jedoch der Zuwachs der Teilzeitbeschäftigung in den Betrieben, in denen Beschäftigte einen Anspruch auf Brückenteilzeit geltend machen können, etwas weniger stark abgeschwächt. Hier ist jedoch zu beachten, dass die Entwicklungen in den Jahren 2020 und 2021 nur schwer von Effekten der durch die Covid-19-Pandemie verursachten Rezession abzugrenzen sind. Insgesamt lässt sich die ermittelte Veränderung für einen Betrieb mit durchschnittlich 200 Beschäftigen dahingehend beziffern, dass über den Gesamtzeitraum nach der Reform die Zunahme an Teilzeitbeschäftigten im Mittel um 1 Person höher ausfällt als bei vergleichbaren nicht betroffenen Betrieben. Diese Zunahme ist jedoch zu gering, als dass die Teilzeitquoten in betroffenen Betrieben mit den höheren Quoten nicht betroffener Betriebe gleichziehen würden. Die sogenannte Zumutbarkeitsregel, welche eine Obergrenze von Umwandlungen in Unternehmen mit mehr als 45 und bis zu 200 Beschäftigten vorsieht, kann diese geringe Veränderung nicht plausibel erklären. Gemäß dieser Regel sind Arbeitgeber, die mehr als 45 und bis zu 200 Beschäftigte haben, verpflichtet, nur einer Person pro 15 angefangenen Beschäftigten einen Anspruch auf Brückenteilzeit zu gewähren. Eine weitere Erklärung könnte darin bestehen, dass die derzeit geltenden Regeln von vielen Beschäftigten als zu unflexibel wahrgenommen werden. So sieht die Regelung zur Brückenteilzeit vor, dass Beschäftigte einen Antrag auf befristete Teilzeit für mindestens ein Jahr und für maximal fünf Jahre stellen können. Während der beantragten Laufzeit ist es zudem nicht möglich, wieder zur ursprünglich vereinbarten Arbeitszeit zurückzukehren. Zudem können die bezifferten Veränderungen während der Covid-19-Rezession möglicherweise auch widerspiegeln, dass Beschäftigte in diesem Zeitraum eine größere Zurückhaltung bei der Reduzierung der Arbeitszeit an den Tag gelegt haben. Inwiefern die Reform im Zuge der wirtschaftlichen Erholung einen langfristigen Effekt auf die Inanspruchnahme befristeter Arbeitszeitreduzierungen hat, bleibt daher abzuwarten."

Temporary agency employment: A supplement to regular jobs – under certain circumstances (2024)
Zitatform
Neumann, Uwe (2024): Temporary agency employment: A supplement to regular jobs – under certain circumstances. In: Competition and Change, Jg. 28, H. 2, S. 359-378. DOI:10.1177/10245294231221884
Abstract
"In countries with strict employment protection legislation, firms may seek to replace regular by atypical jobs in order to cut wages or to become more flexible. In Germany, the number of unprotected temporary jobs is comparatively low. During the past decades, temporary agency employment, however, has increased considerably and the share of agency workers is now above the EU average. Using German establishment data, the analysis draws on longitudinal (generalized method of moments) and cross-sectional (matching and difference in differences) methods to evaluate whether agency workers replaced or supplemented regular workers during and after the Great Recession of 2008/2009. The study finds that hiring (more) agency workers made it possible for user firms among Germany’s core manufacturing industries to employ a larger number of regular workers at the same time. In specific sectors and regions, temp agencies therefore provided an alternative to government-sponsored instruments such as short-time work schemes. Obviously, from the view of workers, many disadvantages remain, even more so as it is rare for temp spells to offer a stepping stone into regular employment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Finding limited representation in established unions, a growing number of precarious and migrant workers of the gig economy have been turning to self-organization. Yet little is known about how these workers can compensate for their lack of material resources and institutional support and negotiate effectively with employers. Drawing on interviews, frame, and content analysis grounded in ethnographic research with the precarious and migrant workers of British ‘indie’ unions, we examine the significance of self-mediation practices in facilitating effective negotiations. We find that the effectiveness of campaigns can be enhanced by strategically integrating vibrant direct action of workers and allies with self-mediated messages, which are framed to resonate with the general public and mainstream media – a practice that we call communicative unionism. These findings extend labour movement scholarship by showing the analytical importance of considering workers’ discursive power-building practices. They also contribute to addressing social movement studies’ historical neglect of workers’ collective engagements with employers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This study explores functions of labor market institutions in perpetuating earnings gap between different categories of workers with focusing on people’s views of earnings gap between regular and non-regular workers in Japan, South Korea, and the United States. An original cross-national factorial survey was conducted to measure the extent to which respondents admit earnings gap among workers with different characteristics. We found that Japanese and South Korean respondents tended to justify the earnings gap between regular and non-regular workers. In Japan, non-regular-worker respondents accepted the wide earnings gap against their economic interests, which was explained by assumed difference in responsibilities and on-the-job training opportunities. Specific institutional arrangements contribute to legitimating earnings gap between different categories of workers by attaching status value to the categories." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This article draws on a range of case studies to explain how worker posting can cause hierarchised labour mobility, involving nationality-based hierarchies in pay and conditions between workers in the same labour markets or work sites. This hierarchisation is most apparent on large construction sites, where companies systematically use posting for labour cost advantage, but it is also found on smaller sites and in other sectors besides construction. The article outlines three features of this low-wage posting system – worker hypermobility and dependency, transnational enforcement challenges, and multifaceted employer arbitrage strategies – that conspire to maintain posting as a form of hierarchised mobility. We argue that posting undermines many countervailing forces that typically mediate hierarchisation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Causal misperceptions of the part-time pay gap (2023)

Abstract
"This paper studies if workers infer from correlation about causal effects in the context of the part-time wage penalty. Differences in hourly pay between full-time and part-time workers are strongly driven by worker selection and systematic sorting. Ignoring these selection effects can lead to biased expectations about the consequences of working part-time on wages (‘selection neglect bias’). Based on representative survey data from Germany, we document substantial misperceptions of the part-time wage gap. Workers strongly overestimate how much part-time workers in their occupation earn per hour, whereas they are approximately informed of mean full-time wage rates. Consistent with selection neglect, those who perceive large hourly pay differences between full-time and part-time workers also predict large changes in hourly wages when a given worker switches between full-time and part-time employment. Causal analyses using a survey experiment reveal that providing information about the raw part-time pay gap increases expectations about the full-time wage premium by factor 1.7, suggesting that individuals draw causal conclusions from observed correlations. De-biasing respondents by informing them about the influence of worker characteristics on observed pay gaps mitigates selection neglect. Subjective beliefs about the part-time/full-time wage gap are predictive of planned and actual transitions between full-time and part-time employment, necessitating the prevention of causal misperceptions."

Abstract
"In den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten sind die Anteile befristeter Beschäftigungsverhältnisse bei jungen Erwachsenen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und in anderen spätkapitalistischen Gesellschaften deutlich angestiegen. Eingebettet in fortdauernde Trends einer Verringerung wohlfahrtsstaatlicher Sicherungsstandards hat diese Entwicklung dazu beigetragen, dass sich Übergänge in stabile berufliche Karrieren und planbare private Zukunftsgestaltungen diversifizieren und verzögern. In der vorliegenden Studie wird eine soziologische Erklärung der Auswirkungen befristeter Beschäftigung auf private und partnerschaftliche Zukunftsgestaltungen von jungen Erwachsenen theoriegeleitet ausgearbeitet und empirisch überprüft. Da mit der Ausweitung befristeter Beschäftigung das klassische männliche Ernährermodell in Begründungsnot gerät, so die zentrale These, werden Neuaushandlungen von Geschlechterrollenarrangements in jungen Partnerschaften erforderlich. Nicht allein sozioökonomische Risiken im Kontext befristeter Beschäftigung, auch die sich wandelnden geschlechter- und erwerbsbezogenen Rollenerwartungen wirken sich verzögernd auf private und partnerschaftliche Zukunftsgestaltungen aus. Die Studie richtet sich an Forschende, Lehrende und Studierende der Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft, Psychologie und in benachbarten sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen. Ebenso adressiert sie methodisch versierte Praktiker°innen in familien- und sozialpolitisch relevanten Tätigkeits- und Diskursfeldern.

Temporary Contracts, Employment Trajectories and Dualisation: A Comparison of Norway and Sweden (2023)

Abstract
"This study compares the labour market trajectories of the temporary employed in Norway with those in Sweden. Sweden’s employment protection legislation gap between the strict protection of permanent employment and the loose regulation of temporary employment has widened in recent decades, while Norway has maintained balanced and strict regulation of both employment types. The study asserts that the two countries differ concerning the distribution of trajectories, leading to permanent employment and trajectories that do not create firmer labour market attachment. Using sequence analysis to analyse two-year panels of the labour force survey for 1997–2011, several different trajectories are discerned in the two countries. The bridge trajectories dominate in Norway, while dead-end trajectories are more common in Sweden. Moreover, the bridge trajectories are selected to stronger categories (mid-aged and higher educated) in Sweden than in Norway. The results are discussed from the perspective of labour market dualisation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In this article, we trace Germany's recent reform (and its precursors) seeking to remedy precarious working conditions in the meat sector. Focusing on an extreme case of labour exploitation, and asking how unique it is, allows us to uncover which institutional features of EU Member States condition the liberalization effects of negative integration. We thereby contribute to the literature on Europeanization, which has mainly emphasized weak industrial relations to account for the German meat industry's reliance on cheap migrant labour. Complicated enforcement structures, demanding requirements of administrative cooperation, and the complexities of an evolving case law, we argue, further contributed to the precarious conditions of migrant workers in Germany. Major COVID outbreaks in slaughterhouses created the political momentum for reform which specifically addresses this administrative side of labour protection, but remains limited to the meat sector – despite similar patterns of labour exploitation elsewhere."

Abstract
"Wage growth occurs almost exclusively in full-time work, whereas it is close to zero in part-time work. German women, when asked to predict their own potential wage outcomes, show severely biased expectations with strong over-optimism about the returns to part-time experience. We estimate a structural life-cycle model to quantify how beliefs influence labor supply, earnings and welfare over the life cycle. The bias increases part-time employment strongly, induces flatter long-run wage profiles, and substantially influences the employment effects of a widely discussed policy reform, the introduction of joint taxation. The most significant impact of the bias appears for college-educated women." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Towards a Reserve Army of Highly Skilled Labour? The Politics of Solo Self-Employment in the Knowledge Economy (2023)

Borg, Maxime (2023): Towards a Reserve Army of Highly Skilled Labour? The Politics of Solo Self-Employment in the Knowledge Economy. (SocArXiv papers), 46 S. DOI:10.31235/osf.io/yq2f6
Abstract
"Prevailing political economic theories on the segmentation of the labor market all rely on the assumption that workers with tertiary education possess significant bargaining power in the knowledge economy due to the strategic importance of their human capital for firms. This paper argues that this empowerment thesis is not empirically founded. The surplus of interchangeable workers equipped with general skills in the knowledge economy actually reinforces employers in the labor-capital power dynamics. This context allows employers to reduce labor costs by imposing subcontracting and flexible work arrangements on highly skilled workers. Until now, these practices were believed to be prevalent only among low-skilled workers. This paper investigates this transformation through the lens of solo self-employment. Drawing on data obtained from 22 European countries spanning from 2014 to 2021, this article presents findings suggesting that the transition to the knowledge economy incentivises employers to adopt a new division of labor predicated on the development of networks of subcontracting and flexible highly skilled workers, particularly in economies with strict employment protection legislation."

A Short History of the Informal Economy (2023)

Abstract
"When coined about half a century ago, employment in the informal economy was discussed by what it was not: formal. Addressed as a sector of the urban workforce, its definition was a summing up of descriptive traits which made manifest how people in the Global South, deprived of most or all means of production, earned their livelihood by selling their labour power. Investigating their predicament zoomed in on the restructuring of peasant economies and societies to post-peasant ones. The anticipated upward mobility, which was supposed to be boosted by the bargaining power of collective action, did not materialise. Rather than expanding formalisation of labour relations, the reverse took place. The small segment which had been promoted to and protected by regular and regulated employment was subjected to informalisation. In the onslaught of neo-liberal capitalism from the last quarter of the twentieth century onwards, labour flexibilisation and casualisation not only intensified in the Global South but also spread to the Global North. The new policies ended the brokerage which the nation–state once developed to mediate between the interests of capital and labour, leading to a worldwide shrinking of public institutions, space and representation. While the debate with regard to informality has remained firmly focused on labour and employment, I argue that corporate capital in collusion with étatist authority has not only effectuated the deregulation of paid work but also abandoned the legal code of formality ending in a state of lawlessness for the people at the bottom of the pile. In the reconfiguration, both politics and governance are next to big business as stakeholders in a regime of informality erosive of equality, democracy, civil rights, solidarity and shared well-being for humankind at large."
