城镇劳动者个人和家庭因素对工作贫困的影响分析

Impact Analysis of Working Poor in China's Urban Areas with Families and Personal Characters

在重点研究劳动者个人和家庭因素对产生工作贫困影响的同时,考察工作贫困在中国不同地区的表现。研究结果显示:在个人影响因素方面,年轻劳动者与中老年劳动者相比更有可能陷入工作贫困。教育水平的提高有助于减少工作贫困现象。劳动者的职业和工作单位性质对劳动者个人陷入工作贫困的可能性也有影响。在家庭影响因素方面,家庭规模越大,劳动者个人陷入工作贫困的机率就会增加。家庭内平均年龄越大,家庭成员工作贫困的可能就越小。在地区差异方面,与东部发达地区相比,中西部地区的劳动者陷入工作贫困的机率要大于东部发达地区。
