Career Paths in Institutional Business Elites: Finnish Family Firms from 1762–2010
2015
This article analyzes the career paths of family business executives in institutional business elites in Finland using an empirical database based on a Bourdieusian prosopographical approach. The results indicate that career paths became more complex but shortened in length toward the beginning of the twenty-first century. The early career paths of family executives changed from positions as assistants and salesmen in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to governance, chief executive officer (CEO), and management positions in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Compared with the founder generation, next-generation family members benefited from more rapid institutional business eli…
The poor man’s goldmine? : Career paths in Swedish and Finnish merchant shipping, c. 1840–1950
2017
This article analyses the career paths of Swedish and Finnish sailors from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century. The article shows that, for the most of the men, the seaman’s occupation was just a passing phase before taking up a job on shore, but many of them also created a longlasting and advancing career by going to sea. There was not necessarily, however, a clear distinction between job opportunities at sea and those on shore in those days: men worked both at sea and on shore. We therefore argue that an individual’s advancement in a maritime career was a context-specific socio-economic phenomenon. In Scandinavia, work on board ships was dependent on features that characterized the divis…
Serving for state and industry by doing nothing but practice and play : Football shamateurism in East Germany, Hungary and Romania
2022
This presentation aims at discussing the opportunities and limitations of football players in East Germany, Hungary and Romania in the period between the end of World War II (1945) and the collapse of the Eastern bloc (1989). Football served as an important propaganda tool for the communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Therefore, the political elites supported football players financially with sinecures in the military, police, and in commercial and industrial companies, as well as by releasing them for training and competitions in their associated clubs. Their status as “shamateurs” granted them privileges in socialist societies over common people but also limited their possibilities to deve…
Introduction. Vulnérabilités et incidences sur les parcours d’entrée dans la vie adulte : les jeunes une population spécifique ?
2018
Au 1er janvier 2018, la France compte 67,2 millions d’habitants. Le vieillissement de la population française se poursuit. Les personnes de 65 ans ou plus représentent 19,6 % de la population, contre 19,2 % un an auparavant. Vingt ans plus tôt, elles ne représentaient que 15,5 % de la population. À l’opposé, la population âgée de moins de 20 ans représente 24,4 % de la population (contre 26 % en 1998) (Papon et Beaumel, 2018). Parmi les jeunes, les données Eurostat montrent que 9,3 % d’entre ...
