“…Rogan, Roever, Chen, & Carré (2018) show that while informal employment in the global south is still the norm, there are still important shifts in employment relations that result from the same processes of globalization and liberalization which have generated precarious work in the more developed countries. In addition, Sapkal and Shyam Sundar (2018) demonstrate that there is considerable variation in the extent of precarious work in India, a country in which the vast majority of people work in the informal economy. They also show the growing pressure on the Indian state to adopt policies that would make precarious work an even more pronounced feature of the Indian economy.…”

“…In India, even though younger age seems to be more likely to end up in non-standard employment, the determinant of being in precarious work is related. Those workers are characterized by being a woman, with low educational status, low land holding, and holding a minority as well as socially deprived background (Sapkal & Sundar, 2017).…”

The increase of marginal part-time employment has been found in developed countries, as well as in developing countries. This form of non-standard employment has very short work hours (less than 15 hours/week) and no guarantee of stable employment. In Indonesia, the share of part-time worker amongst working population increased from 15.4 percent in 2009 to 22.1 percent in 2018. Unfortunately, few studies discuss about marginal part-time employment. Using binary logistic regression, this study aims to identify marginal part-time workers based on their socio-demographic characteristic. The result indicates that female (OR: 1.81; 95% CI: 1.75-1.87), living in rural area (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.08-1.16), and less educated are more likely to be marginal part-timer. Therefore, it is recommended for policymakers to ensure the labor regulation adequately protect the rights of part-time worker, so that the workers condition can be improved since they are most vulnerable group in the globalized economy.Keywords: non-standard employment, labor market, part-time, Indonesia Pekerja Paruh Waktu Marjinal Pada Pasar Tenaga Kerja Indonesia: Profil dan DeterminanAbstrak: Peningkatan pekerja paruh waktu marjinal telah teramati pada negara-negara maju dan juga negara berkembang. Salah satu bentuk pekerjaan non-standar ini memiliki jam kerja yang sangat pendek (kurang dari 15 jam seminggu) dan tidak adanya jaminan kestabilan pekerjaan. Di Indonesia, proporsi pekerja paruh waktu diantara penduduk bekerja meningkat dari 15,4 persen pada 2009 menjadi 22,1 persen pada 2018. Sayangnya, hanya sedikit studi yang membahas tentang pekerjaan paruh waktu marjinal. Dengan menggunakan regresi logistik biner, studi ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pekerja paruh waktu marjinal berdasarkan karakteristik sosio-demografinya. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa perempuan (OR: 1,81; 95% CI: 1,75-1,87), penduduk desa (OR: 1,12; 95% CI: 1,08-1,16), dan kurang berpendidikan berisiko lebih besar menjadi pekerja paruh waktu marjinal. Oleh karena itu, direkomendasikan bagi pembuat kebijakan untuk dapat memastikan peraturan ketenagakerjaan cukup untuk melindungi hak-hak pekerja paruh waktu khusus yang termarjinal agar kondisi pekerja dapat ditingkatkan karena mereka adalah kelompok paling rentan dalam ekonomi global.Kata kunci: pekerjaan non-standar, pasar tenaga kerja, paruh waktu, Indonesia

“…Despite the rich tradition of inquiry into the trade unionism in Indian context (Bhattacherjee, 2001;D'Souza, 2010;Noronha & D'Cruz, 2009;Sapkal & Shyam Sundar, 2017), there have been few studies on the impact of level of unionization on firm productivity. Gupta (2011) has inquired into the wages, unions, and labor productivity of the cotton mills of India using firm-level data from major textile producing regions of India in the early 20th century.…”

This study is among the first to explore the relationship between unionization and firms' productivity, defined as sales per employee, and profitability per employee in India. The Indian context is important given the structural changes in Indian economy post‐1991 (liberalization and movement from dirigisme to an open economy), the unique sociocultural context of Indian unions and growth and size of economy. The final dataset of the study consisted of 91 largest firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange in India. The data were collected from audited annual reports and analyzed using a modified Cobb–Douglas function. It was found that the degree of unionization, which is percentage of employees who were member of a trade union, had an overall positive impact on the firms' productivity. Contrary to the dominant view of private sector firms being more productive, we found empirical evidence for the effect of unionization on productivity being greater for public sector firms.
