The Problematic and Unproblematic Second Job
Introduction
Multiple jobholding is a phenomenon that has grown in importance in Finland as elsewhere. Yet little is known about factors that underlie multiple jobholding. Is holding a second job an indication that a jobholder is unable to supply his or her desired hours of work in his or her main job? Or is dual jobholding just an implication of an optimal response to available mix of different job opportunities? Depending on whether or not a dual jobholder is able to work desired hours in his or her main job, one can either claim that holding a second job reflects inflexible working hours in the main job or that dual jobholding implies flexible working opportunities in the labour market. Clearly, these two cases provide distinctively different views of the flexibility of working policy implications.
