Abstract

POBLETE, Lorena. Outsourcing workers contracted by the State: Self‐employed workers in argentina public administration (2002‐2007). Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.21, pp.459-474. ISSN 1514-6871.

In 1995, the National Public Administration establishes a new regime of temporary employment. For the first time the self-employed workers can be hired individually as service providers. They are hired by the state as independent workers. This type of outsourcing involves a particular way of "sharing of risks and responsibilities" (Morin, 2000) resulting in a total transfer of risk to self-employed worker. They have to take the risk of employment and social risk. The first, according to Morin, could be summarized in the risk of losing job security. The second involves the risk of losing the capacity of work. The aim of this paper is to analyze the implications of the outsourcing relationship established by the State with the self-employed worker, as well as the subjective dimension of the over exposure to the employment risk experienced by self-employed worker. Through the analysis of 18 labour trajectories, constructed from multiple meetings over five years (2002-2006), we propose to study the way in which individuals face and assume the strong labour instability imposed by this labour status.

Keywords : Outsourcing; Independent work; Public administration; Job insecurity.
