FORFÁS MICROWORKING Figure 2.2. Numbers Under-Employed by Quarter (2008-12) Source: Derived from CSO Quarterly National Household Survey and Live Register (September 2012) 13 2.2 Growth in the Number of People Working Less Than 20 Hours per Week The Quarterly National Household Survey indicates that approximately 150,000 people currently work less than 20 hours per week, up from 100,000 in 2002. By far, the largest group are females working between 10 and 19 hours a week and this has increased by almost a third to 86,000 since 2002. However, a much higher growth rate is evident among men working between 10 and 19 hours (96%) although the absolute number is considerably lower at 29,000. Figure 2.3.Numbers and Profile of People Working Less than 20 Hours (2002-2012) Source: CSO Quarterly National Household Survey (September 2012) Over 35,000 individuals operate at the microwork end of the spectrum working less than 9 hours a week. 13 www.cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Database/eirestat/Quarterly National Household Survey Main Results/Quarterly National Household Survey Main Results_statbank.asp?SP=Quarterly National Household Survey Main Results&Planguage=0 17
Among those working less than 10 hours per week the number of men grew by 125% while the number of women rose by over 70% over the decade. Figure 2.4. Numbers Working Between 1-9 Hours per Week by Quarter (2002-2012) Source: CSO Quarterly National Household Survey (September 2012) 2.3 Number of Recipients of Jobseekers Benefit or Jobseekers Allowance Working Recipients of Jobseekers benefit (JB) may work on 3 days a week and still be eligible for payment of the full amount. Those on Jobseekers’ Allowance (JA) may also work but the earnings have an impact on the allowance received. The number of recipients of Jobseekers Benefit or Jobseekers Allowance working on a casual, seasonal or part-time basis hovered around 20,000 for the five years 2002 to 2007 but has since accelerated significantly rising to almost 90,000 at the start of this year. This sharp increase is likely due to a large movement of staff from full-time employment to ‘Short-Time Employment’ particularly in the hospitality and retail trades as a result of the recession. 18
