We analyse the long-term impact of hiring subsidies on both job and employment security. The subsidy that we examine was introduced in Italy through the 2015 Budget Law, with the goal of promoting open-ended contracts. We employ a non-linear difference-in-differences (NL-DiD) approach within a...

According to current macroeconomic models, there is a need to maintain a natural rate of unemployment to contain inflation. Put simply, unemployment is considered an (inevitable) cost of price stability. Even some Post Keynesian economists believe the so-called balance-of-payments (BOP)...

Dual labor markets are characterized by a group of workers with permanent jobs and a stable income source and another group with short-term contracts who suffer from income uncertainty and employment volatility. These differences in job security translate into several spheres of these workers'...

This research article analyses the situation in the labour markets in Germany and Spain using a comparative study to identify differences in job security and stability and the possibility of working from home. The study is based on data from statistical sources provided by Eurofound (2024) with...

This study attempts to investigate the historical and economic narratives, highlighting missed points in the comprehension of globalization and the effects on present-day labor markets in developing countries - India and Nigeria, between 1990 and 2023. The study fills a noticeable gap in the...

The global business environment has recently faced disruptions, namely the COVID-19 lockdown and artificial intelligence. Sometimes, organisations leverage these disruptions to stoke uncertainty and demand more from their employees. This paper investigated the role of job insecurity and employee...

Personalrisiken sind im Risikokatalog vieler Unternehmen unterrepräsentiert. Das ist deshalb überraschend, weil ein strategisch orientiertes Personalrisikomanagement hilft, z. B. Transformationsprozesse erfolgreich zu managen sowie Fachkräfte und Beschäftigung zu sichern. Auch bestehen klare...

Die vorliegende Bestandsaufnahme zum Einfluss privatrechtlicher Normung auf Mitbestimmung, Personalpolitik und Arbeitsschutz macht deutlich, dass die Mitbestimmungsakteure zum Thema sensibilisiert und aufgeklärt werden sollten, da viele der in Unternehmen eingesetzten Managementsysteme und...

Wenn man die Jahresverdienste zugrunde legt und Arbeitsplatzverluste berücksichtigt, ging der Gender Pay Gap für den Verdienst in der Mitte der Verteilung - also für den Median - in der Coronakrise zurück. Gegenüber 36,2 Prozent im Jahr 2019 sank der Abstand zwischen Frauen und Männern in...

This research examines the intricate relationships between artificial intelligence (AI)-induced job insecurity, psychological safety, knowledge-hiding behavior, and self-efficacy in AI learning within organizational contexts. As AI technologies increasingly permeate the workplace, comprehending...

In the Republic of Korea, middle-aged and older workers experience unusually high job insecurity due to limited labor demand for them. To address this issue, labor market policies and practices must be reformed to make it easier for firms to hire these workers as regular employees. Instead of...

Minsky (1965) has presented the Job Guarantee program as a recommendation in the war against unemployment and poverty. Kalecki (1943), on the other hand, argued that the full employment situation could be technically feasible but politically hard to implement due to the class struggle, resulting...

We study changes in job security after displacement and exploit eligibility rules for lump-sum payments in the Netherlands to investigate the role of liquid wealth. Within five years of job loss, the likelihood of being in permanent employment remains 12% lower for displaced workers. Those...

Orthodox economic theory presents the policy maker with an impossible choice: eradicate unemployment at the cost of undesirable inflation or keep prices stable by maintaining some level of involuntary unemployment. This is the canon, as embodied in the natural rate of unemployment theory and the...

After the COVID-19 crisis, a considerable contraction emerged in the labor supply of the hospitality industry. This investigation aims to identify some factors that justify the intention behind an ex-worker in tourism changing their occupation. In particular, we investigate if the change is...

This study examines jobseekers' preferences for a variety of job attributes. It is based on a choice experiment involving 1,852 clients of the Flemish Public Employment Service (PES). Respondents value flexibility (e.g., remote work and schedule flexibility), job security and social impact of...

We here evaluate the link between job insecurity and one of the most-important decisions that individuals take: homeownership. The 1999 rise in the French Delalande tax on firms that laid off older workers produced an unexpected exogenous rise in job insecurity for younger workers. A...
