Internal and External Hiring
2019
Using large-scale, linked, employer–employee, Finnish panel data, the authors examine firms’ internal versus external hiring decisions more comprehensively than has prior literature. The results show that vacancies in job hierarchies are filled more often by horizontal moves than by promotions. Most horizontal moves are external and within the same job functions, so that internally promoted workers face external competitors occupying higher job levels. Compared to internally promoted workers, external and internal horizontal hires have stronger observable ability indicators (e.g., education, experience, prior work history) but weaker job performance in the year preceding the transfer. Inter…
Understanding economic inactivity and NEET status among young women in the UK and France
2021
International audience; This article examines the position of young women in the UK and France who are defined as not in education, employment or training (NEET) and economically inactive (EI). While the challenges facing the young unemployed are well documented, far less is known about economic inactivity and its propensity to impact to a much greater extent on the lives of young women. The UK and France share some similarities with regard to their NEET EI female populations, in terms of the relative size of the group and the barriers young women face, despite being exposed to very different types of policy intervention and welfare support. Drawing on quantitative evidence (via the Céreq) …
Employability and job insecurity: The role of personal resources on work-related stress
2021
This study is aimed to assess the effect of both employability and personal resources, in terms of pro-activity and self-efficacy, on the relationship between job insecurity and psycho-social distress. Using survey data from 211 participants, among employed, unemployed and workers in transition, we analyzed the incidence of employability, pro-activity and self-efficacy on psycho-social distress. Our results showed that the above-mentioned variables significantly differed by participants’ gender and age. The structural theoretical model proposed to assess the significance of the hypothesized paths exhibited good fit with the data. Thus, all our hypotheses were supported. Findings are in line…
Symptoms of Depression and Status in the European Labour Market
2017
This study uses three rounds of European Social Survey to study the effects from the status in the labour market of individuals from general population on the strength of their depression symptoms. Particular interest is in the comparison of the mismatched (over- and undereducated) to other kinds of status. Mismatch is defined by a normative (ISCO-based) measure. The main result is that not only overeducation but also (though to a smaller extent) undereducation is associated with an increased presence of depression symptoms. Health, income, personality, religion, the frequency of watching news on TV and partner’s status in the labour market are among the independent variables.
Dentofacial abnormalities among adolescents: A study on the prevalence and severity.
2014
Background The objectives of this investigation were to assess prevalence and severity of dentofacial abnormalities and orthodontic treatment need among adolescents in Mangalore taluk. Material and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1340 children from randomly selected high schools. A proforma was used to record demographic data and components of the Dental Aesthetic Index [DAI] for each subject. The Chi squared test was used for analysis with p-value of 0.05). Assessment of severity of malocclusion between age groups revealed no differences (p > 0.05). Orthodontic treatment was highly desirable in 11% and mandatory in 5.2% subjects. Conclusions A high prevalence of dentofa…
Demographic aspects of aging
2021
Abstract Population aging is occurring in almost all developed countries, albeit with differences in timing and intensity. This unprecedented phenomenon is evident not only in the change in the population age structure, but also in the impressive increase in the average length of life. After describing past, current, and future population trends, this contribution presents theories explaining the reasons for this long-term process that is completely reshaping the age structure of the population. It also describes the inequalities in aging (focusing in particular on the differences by gender, education, and cause of death) and introduces some measures of the individual health and economic co…
The Public Pension Systems and the Economic Crisis
2020
Concern about the long-term sustainability of European public pension systems has been a permanent feature for decades due to the unstoppable ageing of the population, but demographic change is not the only factor of concern. A deep economic and financial crisis has been added to this structural problem, whose impact on economic growth and job creation has further aggravated the situation. The combination of these two challenges has created a “perfect storm”, which is forcing most European countries to introduce far-reaching reforms in their pension systems with the aim of ensuring their sustainability. This chapter analyses the main measures that the different EU-28 countries have addresse…

Patterns of poverty among elderly Americans: a Latent Class Markov Model
2017
ABSTRACTThis article studies poverty persistence and the role of social security programmes on poverty among elderly in the US. We use a Latent Markov model to disentangle unobserved heterogeneity and state dependence. Because of its dynamic nature, unobserved heterogeneity is modelled to vary over time. This allows to capture different latent states of poverty that change over time. Result indicates the existence of three unobserved types evolving over time according to their propensity to be poor. Moreover, a strong persistence in poverty especially for women, individuals living alone and ethnic minorities is found. Finally, the estimates indicate that giving social assistance tends to re…
Fracturas de radio distal. ¿Progresa el desplazamiento entre la segunda y la sexta semana?.
2020
espanolLas fracturas de radio distal son las mas frecuentes en nuestra especialidad. El tratamiento conservador con inmovilizacion, basado en una serie de parametros radiologicos, sigue siendo el mas utilizado hoy en dia. El objetivo de nuestro estudio ha sido evaluar el desplazamiento secundario de estas fracturas entre la segunda y sexta semana de evolucion. Para ello hemos evaluado las fracturas de radio distal tratadas de forma conservadora en nuestro Servicio, durante el ano 2016. De un total de 53 fracturas de muneca tratadas de forma conservadora, un 49% de los casos presento algun tipo de desplazamiento, si bien la mayor parte de estos tuvieron lugar antes de la segunda semana. Nues…
