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…

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

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…
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…

Zarządzanie strategiczne akademickim kształceniem ekonomistów w kontekście oczekiwań studentów i wymagań zmieniającego się rynku pracy
2020
Kultura i edukacja ekonomiczna były tematem jednej z sesji panelowych X Kongresu Ekonomistów Polskich, który odbył się w listopadzie 2019 r. W nowej klasyfikacji dziedzin i dyscyplin naukowych wprowadzonej w Polsce w 2018 r. nie uwzględniono kategorii nauki ekonomiczne. Rodzi to pytanie o identyfikację kierunków i profili kształcenia ekonomicznego na poziomie wyższym, wpływając zarazem na kształtowanie oferty edukacyjnej uczelni. Kierunki ekonomiczne nadal cieszą się dużą popularnością, ale coraz częściej poddawany jest krytyce zakres i sposób kształcenia ekonomistów. Studenci domagają się wprowadzenia pluralizmu w naukach ekonomicznych i zmniejszenia stopnia ich matematyzacji, „odświeżenia…
