In this working paper, Jeroen Horemans explores the differences in poverty risks for part-time workers and temporary workers. EU-SILC data is used to make a revealing international comparison: both types of workers pose different poverty risks in different countries. In Belgium, temporary workers have are most at risk. The risk gap with full-time and permanent workers is then decomposed. Again various patterns appear, but working hours, wage, replacement incomes and the household work intensity are the main channels through which non-standard work translates into in-work poverty.
