LES DÉTERMINANTS DE LA TRANSITION VERS L’EMPLOI STABLE DANS LES SERVICES À LA PERSONNE

Abstract

Household services in France are characterized by involuntary part-timr jobd (even in permanent contracts), fixed-term contracts and multi-activity. The situation of these employees therefore does not obey a simple dual structure where permanent contracts (CDI) oppose short-term contracts. This structure may explain why, while this sector is a provider of large and growing number of jobs, employers struggles to recuit personnel. Our contribution is twofold: first, we shed light on the determinants of employee mobility services to towards either stable employment or to precarity for those initially hired on temporary contracts; second, we analyze the trajectories of these employees in the labor market. We estimate a proportional hazard model (Cox model) on the French Labor Force Survey (2003-2011), which provides detailed information on these employees' transitions.
