摘要:The main goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of the relationship between
job satisfaction and temporary work among youth in the EU, while considering the role of
the context of countries’ labour market characteristics. To address this issue, we use the
EU-SILC 2013 database, with an ad hoc module on well-being, which we supplement with
macro indicators from Eurostat and ILO. Our findings show that a higher unemployment rate
is associated with a lower job satisfaction among youth. Moreover, country-level variables
moderate the negative impact of temporary work on the level of job satisfaction among
young workers. The negative effect of temporary work is stronger in countries with a higher
unemployment rate and a lower level of unionisation.
