Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A main aim of this study is to analyze household consumption for non-regular workers empirically. We use the household panel survey that women (wives) respond to. We show that the household consumption that a wife work as a non-regular worker is sufficiently lower than those of both regular worker and housewife. The results point out that the job insecurity, such low wage and short term contract, causes the low level of consumption.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、日本の不安定な雇用形態である非正規雇用を安定している正規雇用と比較することで、ライフ・サイクル仮説に近い消費行動をとれる正規雇用世帯と、適合しない非正規雇用世帯の消費の違いを実証分析できたことにある。 本研究の社会的意義は、能力において正規雇用に劣ることが少ない非正規雇用の待遇改善(社会保険や失業保険の加入)を行うことで、低賃金や短期雇用の不安定性が残っても、彼ら彼女らの消費活動に安定性を与えることができることを示したことにある。
