Labor Market Flexibility and Unemployment: New Empirical Evidence of Static and Dynamic Effects
2012
The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between labor market flexibility and unemployment outcomes. Using a panel of 97 countries from 1985 to 2008, the results of the paper suggest that improvements in labor market flexibility have a statistically and significant negative impact on unemployment outcomes (over unemployment, youth unemployment, and long-term unemployment). Among the different labor market flexibility indicators analyzed, hiring and firing regulations and hiring costs are found to have the strongest effect.

Socio Psychological Counseling: How to Manage Identities?
2013
The work presented here is a research carried out into initiatives for returning the long-term unemployed to work. A small case group study based on international expertise in social categorization and communication was conducted in France. This analysis of “long-term unemployment” was done through the consequences for relationships with work with a view to suggesting a suitable remedial approach. The recommended socio psychological counseling is based on reconstructing the professional identity of the long-term unemployed person and implementing this before the return to a supported role that should serve as a springboard towards permanent employment. The results lead to extend this method…
More hours, more jobs? The employment effects of longer working hours
2014
Increases in standard hours of work have been a contentious policy issue in Germany. Whilst this might directly lead to a substitution of workers by hours, there may also be a positive employment effect due to reduced costs. Moreover, the response of firms may differ between firms that offer overtime and those that do not. For a panel of German plants (2001–2006) drawn from the IAB Establishment Panel, we are the first to analyse the effect of increased standard hours on employment. Using difference-in-difference methods we find that, consistent with theory, overtime plants showed a significant positive employment response, whilst for standard-time plants there is no difference between plan…
Working outside academia? : perceptions of early-career, fixed-term researchers on changing careers
2019
This article examines the perceptions of early-career, fixed-term researchers in Finnish universities towards changing careers. It maps out the reasons this group has considered the change and where they see themselves in five years. As a theoretical framework, a synthesisation of variables related to career change, created by Ryan, Healy, and Sullivan [2012. “Oh, Won’t You Stay? Predictors of Faculty Intent to Leave a Public University.” Higher Education 63: 421–437.], was used. The results show that the most common reasons for early-career researchers to change careers are job-security related stress, job-related dissatisfaction, and salary. Over half of the respondents would like to work…
Wpływ zasady uprzywilejowania pracownika na zakres swobody umów stron stosunku pracy w literaturze i orzecznictwie
2022
Celem artykułu jest określenie wpływu zasady uprzywilejowania pracownika na swobodę kształtowania przez strony stosunku pracy postanowień umów o pracę oraz umów dodatkowych. W artykule zostały przedstawione argumenty uzasadniające tezę, zgodnie z którą mechanizm przewidziany w art. 18 § 2 kodeksu pracy może znaleźć zastosowanie wyłącznie do postanowień umów o pracę, nie obejmuje natomiast swym zakresem nazwanych i nienazwanych umów dodatkowych zawieranych przez strony stosunku pracy. Jednak o nadaniu określonej klauzuli statusu postanowienia umowy o pracę należy rozstrzygać w oparciu o jej treść, a nie umiejscowienie. Za kryterium oceny postanowień umów o pracę w świetle art. 18 k.p. należy…
Examining Bridge Employment From a Self-employment Perspective : Evidence From the Health and Retirement Study
2017
This study examines bridge employment decision-making from a self-employment perspective using 3 prominent retirement theories, the life course perspective, continuity theory and role theory. Focusing on self-employment extends the current theoretical understanding of bridge employment and offers interesting implications for retirement policy-making. Specifically, using longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (n = 2,080), we conducted multinomial regression analysis to examine who were more/less likely to fully retire, enter bridge employment in the wage-and-salary form, or enter bridge employment in the self-employment form. Furthermore, we examined the role of pre-retiremen…
El impacto de la crisis en el empleo público local: el caso del área metropolitana de Valencia
2014
Los ajustes derivados de actual proceso de consolidación fiscal en que se hallan las Administraciones Públicas españolas han golpeado con fuerza a un entramado institucional débil: el empleo público de los gobiernos locales de nuestro país, explicable tanto por la fragilidad sobre el terreno del sistema de mérito, como por la falta de aplicación efectiva de mecanismos de gestión. En este contexto y transcurridos ya cinco años de crisis económica se trata de dar cuenta, mediante datos agregados y de un estudio realizado en el marco del proyecto SAIS-AMV (“sostenibilidad social y ambiental en espacios metropolitanos: el caso del área metropolitana de Valencia”), de qué modo, mediante qué estr…
Family carers and lack of personal time: Descriptions of being outside the sphere of formal help
2011
The aim of this article is to study manifestations of uncomfortable familial commitments. The connection of such commitments to informal family carers' descriptions of problems in accessibility of services and to descriptions of preferences regarding limited use of formal help is examined. The data consists of 21 qualitative interviews of Finnish persons who, alongside their gainful employment, cared for their parent(s). It is argued that the lives of adult children and parent(s) needing care and help are interdependent, and various uncomfortable familial commitments exist due to problems in service provision (accessibility of services) or the reluctance of parents to accept formal help (us…
