Key research themes

1. How do institutionally defined job search requirements impact unemployed individuals’ experiences and outcomes?

This research theme investigates the consequences of activation policies that strictly define and monitor job search activities, focusing on how unemployed individuals navigate these institutional frameworks. It matters because rigid monitoring can misrecognize informal job searching, disproportionately penalizing vulnerable groups and affecting social benefit eligibility.

Key finding: The paper finds a divergent 'twin-stranded' job search among unemployed individuals: the institutional job search documented through formal evidence and an alternative informal search based on personal networks and unrecorded... Read more
Key finding: Employment counselors’ assessments of job seekers’ attitudes and behaviors predict reemployment success more strongly than self-ratings, emphasizing the value of expert assessment in understanding actual job search intensity... Read more
Key finding: This study demonstrates that the length of unemployment moderates the relationship between intrinsic work values and psychological well-being. Prolonged unemployment associates with increased psychological well-being, which... Read more

2. What roles do employability factors and socio-economic characteristics play in shaping employment outcomes and experiences of unemployment?

This theme explores the multidimensional concept of employability, including personal skills, attitudes, socio-economic circumstances, and barriers, seeking to understand how these factors influence employment trajectories and mental health among unemployed individuals across various contexts.

Key finding: The research proposes a holistic framework for employability that integrates skills, motivation, social capital, health, and personal circumstances. It finds that long-term unemployed individuals face more complex and layered... Read more
Key finding: The study identifies lack of relevant work experience, limited job search knowledge, low social capital, and high costs of job seeking as significant barriers for graduates. It emphasizes that despite relatively low graduate... Read more
Key finding: Analysis challenges the stereotype that unemployed individuals are unwilling to work. Instead, it distinguishes between unemployed who cannot find job opportunities, lack necessary skills or health, and those unwilling due to... Read more

3. How do precarious employment and non-standard work relations affect workers’ protection and employment quality?

Focusing on the rise of precarious and non-standard employment, this theme assesses the adequacy of labor law protections, regulatory failures, and the health and mental health implications of employment instability, emphasizing the challenges in enforcing rights and securing quality jobs.

Key finding: The paper argues that existing labor and social security laws are grounded on the standard employment relationship and insufficiently accommodate precarious forms of work, resulting in regulatory gaps and inequalities in... Read more
Key finding: Utilizing longitudinal administrative data, this study identifies clusters of employment trajectories varying in quality and shows that precarious employment trajectories are associated with higher incidence of mental... Read more
Key finding: The mixed-method study reveals that ambiguous employment status affects approximately 30% of workers, complicating access to employment rights. The work highlights legal uncertainty in differentiating employees from... Read more
