The Study on the Measurement of Scale of New Forms of Employment:Comprehensive Analysis Based on Household Surveys and Platform Big Data of a Certain City
The emergence of new forms of employment as a significant source of job creation has become a social consensus,but its employment scale and proportion within the labor market have not been systematically addressed,leading to the lack of evidence for policy formulation.This study develops a methodology to measure the scale of employment in new forms of employment,based on both household survey data and big data from platforms.On this basis,the study employs labor force survey data from City W,in conjunction with occupational injury insurance data,to calculates the proportion and scale of workers in new employment forms of employment in City W.The findings reveal that,before evision,the scale of workers in new forms of employment in the first half of 2023 reached 614200,accounting for 4.97%of the city's total employed population.After using data such as occupational injury insurance,the scale was revised to 1003800,accounting for 8.13%of the total employed population.From 2019 to the first half of 2023,the proportion of workers in new forms of employment in City W fluctuated continuously.In early 2020,due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,the proportion of new employment forms has declined repidly.Starting in 2023,the proportion began to rise again.Specifically,the proportion of new employment forms such as transportation services,logistics,lifestyle services,online streaming,and intermediary services increased,while those in financial services,goods trading,production order acceptance,and on-line service categories like"knowledge,skills,entertainment,and advertising"decreased.The measurement approach developed in this study,which combines household survey data with platform big data,avoids underestimation and overestimation of the scale of employment in new forms of employment.
