Disruption to working lives spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic may shape people's preferences for future employment. We aimed to identify the components of work prioritized by a UK sample and the employment changes they had considered since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A nationally representative longitudinal household survey was conducted in Wales at two time points between 2020 and 2021.
Those in poorer health prioritized flexibility and were more likely to consider retiring. Those with limiting preexisting conditions or low mental well-being were more likely to consider becoming self-employed. Those experiencing financial insecurity (including those with high wage precarity or those furloughed) were more likely to consider retraining, becoming self-employed, or securing permanent employment.
Ensuring flexible, secure, and autonomous work is accessible for individuals facing greater employment-related insecurity may be key.
由 COVID-19 大流行引发的工作中断可能会影响人们对未来就业的偏好。我们旨在确定英国样本优先考虑的工作内容以及他们自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来考虑过的就业变化。
在 2020 年至 2021 年期间，在威尔士进行了一项具有全国代表性的纵向家庭调查。
健康状况较差的人更看重灵活性，更有可能考虑退休。那些有预先存在的限制条件或心理健康状况不佳的人更有可能考虑成为自雇人士。那些面临财务不安全的人（包括那些工资不稳定或被休假的人）更有可能考虑再培训、成为自雇人士或获得永久就业。
确保有更大就业相关不安全感的个人能够获得灵活、安全和自主的工作可能是关键。
