Anställningsformer, arbetsmiljö och hälsa i ett centrum-periferiperspektiv

Abstract

Forms of employment, work environment and health in to a centre : periphery perspective The aim of the study was to compare and analyse differences in work conditions and health between workers in permanent and temporary employment. The study group was a representative stratified sample from the working Swedish population (n=3812). The results show considerable differences between different subgroups of temporary employed. The working conditions in project and probationary employment are rather similar to those of permanent employment. Workers in vicarious job are in an intermediate position while people on call also show more of health problems. The differences between the employment subgroups are so consistent and of such amplitude that there are reasons to rank them in a centre : periphery structure. Key words: contingent work, temporary employment, health, on call, project employment, vicarious employment, work conditions, work environment.
