Posted work and deterritorialization in the European Union: a study of the German construction and meat industry
2015
Mobiliteit en burgerschaprechten binnen de Europese Unie beïnvloeden de levens van miljoenen mensen in de EU op een positieve manier. In Posted Work and Deterritorialization in the European Union betoogt Ines Wagner echter dat de dynamiek van intra-Europese arbeidsmigratie ook een hypermobiele onderklasse van arbeiders in precaire, slecht betaald werk creëert. Dit komt voornamelijk doordat tewerkstellingsstructuren transnationaliseren, terwijl beleidsinstrumenten en kiesdistricten territoriaal geregeld blijven. Wagner’s conclusies zijn gebaseerd op kwalitatief onderzoek naar detachering in de Duitse politieke economie. Gedetacheerde werknemers zijn arbeidsmigranten die door hun werkgever ti…
The impact of periodic interviews on unemployment duration : Evidence from the 2017 Finnish reform
2023
In 2017, a Finnish policy reform intensified the Public Employment Services' practice of periodically interviewing unemployed jobseekers. This study used high-quality administrative data to analyse the effect of interviews on unemployment duration. We used a difference-in-differences approach that exploited regional variations in treatment intensity. Our results show that a 10 percentage point increase in interview probability increased the monthly hazard rate of employment by 3.1 per cent, with the effect being strongest among jobseekers aged 25–34 and jobseekers with a low education level. Also, our results demonstrate a strong effect on participation in active labour market programmes. p…

Do they stay or go? Analysis of international students in Finland
2021
The increase in international student mobility raises questions of how many international students choose to stay in their host country and the reasons why some stay and others leave. This study examines factors affecting international students to stay in Finland three years after graduation. Tracking 13 (years) graduating cohorts across national (Finland) data registries, we find family ties and labour market opportunities relate to an increased probability an international student stays in Finland three years after graduation. peerReviewed
Empowering Absence? Assessing the Impact of Transnational Male Out-Migration on Left behind Wives
2023
Experiences of left-behind family members of transnational migrant workers have been in the shadow of academic discourse on migration. To contribute to the slowly growing body of literature, this study explores the impact of male out-migration on left-behind wives. The study proposes and applies a novel framework to estimate Women Empowerment Index (WEI) for comparing the empowerment level across households with and without men in transnational labor. Cross-sectional surveys and unstructured interviews were used to collect data from 373 respondents from three selected areas in Nepal. Results indicate that left-behind wives experience a higher degree of decision-making authority, physical mo…

Negative emotional consequences of labour market activation policies for long-term unemployed young adults in Finland
2021
PurposeThis article deals with the negative emotional consequences of active labour market policies (ALMPs) for long-term unemployed young adults in Finland. Although such policies may have positive effects, an exploration of their negative impacts reveals their problematic side effects. We explore various aspects of ALMP interventions that prevent individuals from gaining such positive outcomes and thus reduce their motivation to invest in the policies.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the affect theory of social exchange, we understand that individuals seek positive rewards from social interactions. Our data is taken from life course interviews with unemployed people aged 20–31 in cen…
Economic Activity in Context of Regions, Education Level, Age Group and Gender: Case of Latvia
2019
In the National Development Plan of Latvia 2014–2020 it is written that society is aware that social, regional and opportunity inequalities can be reduced by a high overall employment rate in which everyone seeks for productivity. High employment rate is important not only for decreasing inequalities in country, but also for promoting economic growth. There have always been employment challenges in Latvia that are complex and insufficiently researched in academic research. The aim of the study is to analyse economic activity in Latvia by regions, education level, age group and gender. Research methods used in preparation of the article: scientific publication and previous conducted research…
Sustainable Working Life in a Swedish Twin Cohort : A Definition Paper with Sample Overview
2021
Background: A unified or consensus definition of “sustainable working life” remains lacking, although studies investigating risk factors for labour market exit are numerous. In this study, we aimed (1) to update the information and to explore a definition of “sustainable working life” via a systematic literature review and (2) to describe the working life trajectories via the prevalence of sickness absence (SA), disability pension (DP), and unemployment in a Swedish twin cohort to provide a sample overview in our Sustainable Working Life-project. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to explore the studies with the search phrase “sustainable working life” in PubMed, PsycInfo…
Uni ja kardiometabolia : vaihdevuosi-ikäisten naisten unen laadun yhteys sokeri- ja rasva-aineenvaihduntaan ja leptiinitasoihin
2017
Unen laatu heikkenee vaihdevuosien aikana. Heikentynyt unen laatu on yhteydessä sokeri- ja rasva-aineenvaihdunnan häiriöihin. Tämän pro gradu-tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää vaihdevuosi-ikäisten naisten unen laadun yhteyttä kardiometabolisiin riskitekijöihin. Tutkielma perustuu Estrogeeni, vaihdevuodet ja toimintakyky (ERMA) -tutkimuksen aineistoon. Osallistujat poimittiin satunnaisotannalla väestörekisteristä Jyväskylän ja sen lähikuntien 47–54 -vuotiaista naisista (n=6886). Mukaan valittiin ne sisäänottokriteerit täyttävät naiset, jotka vastasivat tutkimuksen alkumittauskyselyyn ja joilta terveydentilaa selvittävän haastattelun sekä laboratoriomittausten jälkeen saatiin luotettavas…
