Long-term unemployment among older workers is particularly difficult to overcome. We study the impacts of a large-scale job guarantee program that offered up to two years of fully subsidized employment to long-term unemployed individuals aged 50 and above. Using a sharp age-based discontinuity...

This study investigates how pandemic-induced digitalisation, understood as the transition to remote work combined with the enforced use of digital tools and the reconfiguration of tasks and digital skills at the job level, has affected job security and job quality in Portugal. In 2022, a...

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...

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 thesis investigates the influence transformational and transactional leadership styles have on the acceptance of generative AI in the workplace. To account for other factors, I also examine the mediating effect of organizational commitment and the fear of job loss as well as the moderating...

Purpose: Previous studies on digital transformation (DT) have mainly concentrated on general organisational contexts, often neglecting the critical employee-level factors that are especially relevant in service enterprises. Consequently, the effect of DT on unethical pro-self-behaviours (UPSB)...

This paper examines how structural change in labor markets affects household credit outcomes. Using a Shift-Share instrumental variable approach, we find that occupational shifts negatively influence mortgage holding for households facing favorable job market conditions, such as stable...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
