Résumé

The high incidence of temporary employment in Spain causes many workers to have employment trajectories with multiple transitions between short-term jobs and unemployment spells. The high labour turnover between different jobs translates into a lower accumulation of human capital, while the periods of unemployment cause an additional depreciation that leads to a lower probability of leaving the unemployment and a wage loss in a new job. In this article, using data from the Continuous Sample of Working Life (MCVL) between 2006 and 2016, we show to what extent the unemployment duration and wage adjustments in the subsequent exits to employment is related to different measures of instability throughout the labour market career. The results indicate that a greater accumulation of work experience as a temporary worker, instead of as a permanent worker, is associated with a lower probability of leaving unemployment. In the case of wages losses, after passing through unemployment they are higher the more previous stability the worker had accumulated, probably reflecting the loss of specific human capital while unemployed.
