Title: Multiple job holding in the United Kingdom: evidence from the Bristish household panel survey
Abstract:  This paper examines the determinants of multiple job holding in the
United Kingdom. We address these issues using data from the first eleven waves of
the British Household Panel Survey, which covered the period from 1991 to 2001.
Evidence from the BHPS does not support the hypotheses of main job hours
constrained and main job insecurity. We argue that the incentive for moonlighting in
the United Kingdom is due to financial pressures and the desire for heterogeneous
jobs. The empirical work is carried out separately for men and women.
