Casual Employment in Australia: A Further Analysis

This paper was prepared by John Mangan, University of Queensland and Christine Williams, Queensland Treasury in March 1999.

Casual employment is steadily increasing its share of total employment in Australia. This paper analyses some of the contributing 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.
