Abstract

Le present article resume les conclusions de le document de recherche intitulee: Instabilite des heures de travail au Canada. Les auteurs de nombreuses etudes des heures de travail ont tire d'importantes conclusions des resultats des enquetes transversales. Par exemple, a tout moment donne, la part des personnes qui travaillent de longues heures est assez importante. En outre, elle semble avoir augmente au cours des deux dernieres decennies, faisant ressortir la necessite d'elaborer des politiques visant a reduire les divergences entre les heures de travail des travailleurs ou a reduire la duree du travail de facon generale. Toutefois, si les heures de travail varient considerablement au niveau individuel au fil du temps, alors les conclusions fondees sur les etudes de donnees transversales peuvent etre incompletes. D'apres les donnees longitudinales de l'Enquete sur la dynamique du travail et du revenu, nous concluons a une variation importante du nombre annuel d'heures de travail au fil du temps, au niveau individuel. En fait, pres de la moitie de l'inegalite transversale dans le nombre annuel d'heures de travail resulte de l'instabilite des heures au niveau individuel. En outre, tres peu de personnes travaillent systematiquement de longues heures. Nous montrons que l'instabilite des heures de travail est liee a des emplois de moins bonne qualite, au travail atypique, aux niveaux de faible revenu, au stress et au mauvais etat de sante. Cela indique que les heures de travail variables ne sont probablement pas le resultat d'un choix; il est plus probable que ces travailleurs ne peuvent trouver un emploi plus stable. L'absence de persistance dans les longues heures de travail et la forte instabilite des heures de travail au niveau individuel vont a l'encontre des arguments fondes sur l'equite en faveur de l'adoption de politiques visant a reduire la duree du travail. De plus, nos recherches montrent que les politiques destinees a reduire l'instabilite des heures de travail pourraient etre dans l'interet des travailleurs.
