【内容提要】本文关注非正规就业普遍化的背景下劳动力市场中介如何组织灵活的劳动力及其影响。工作搜寻-匹配研究将劳动力市场中介视为一种市场结构要素，难以解释劳动力市场中介的复杂变化及其与非正规就业普遍化的关联。本文转向行动视角，梳理了劳动力市场中介如何通过建立劳动力招募链条、接管雇主责任义务、参与劳动者培训管理等人事服务重构雇佣关系，进而改变劳动力市场监管的组织基础，并形塑非正规就业的去正规化与正规化进程。

From Structure to Action:Labor Market Intermediaries and Informal Employment

Abstract: As informal employment becomes widespread, this paper pays heed to the roles and impacts of labor market intermediaries (LMIs) in organizing mobile labor. Job search and matching studies regard LMIs as the structural element of the labor market, which cannot explain the complication of LMIs and their association with the generalization of informal employment. This paper turns to an action perspective and unravels how labor market intermediaries restructure employment relationships by establishing labor recruitment chains, taking over informal employment responsibilities as legal employers, providing labor training and management and other staffing services, thus altering the institutional base of labor market regulation and shaping the ongoing process of de-formalization and formalization.
