Beschäftigungsstabilität – Jobsicherheit trotz zunehmender Flexibilisierung?
Der Zuwachs flexibler Beschäftigungsformen in den letzten Jahrzehnten hat u.a. die Frage nach der Stabilität von Beschäftigungsverhältnissen aufgeworfen. Die durchschnittliche Dauer der Betriebszugehörigkeit, Daten zur Arbeitskräfte-Fluktuation sowie das Ausmaß befristeter Beschäftigung werden für die Bewertung von Beschäftigungsstabilität herangezogen. Empirische Studien konnten bisher eine Abnahme der Beschäftigungsstabilität im Zeitverlauf nicht bestätigen - allenfalls punktuell und bei bestimmten Qualifikationsstufen.
Diese Infoplattform enthält Literaturhinweise und Volltexte zur theoretischen Einbettung und empirischen Analyse der Stabilität von Beschäftigung. Mit dem Filter „Autorenschaft“ können Sie auf IAB-(Mit-)Autorenschaft eingrenzen.

Abstract
"Die prägende Wirkung der Eltern auf die Lebenschancen ihrer Kinder - und damit die Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheit über Generationen - erweist sich als äußerst persistent und ist damit nach wie vor ein zentrales Thema der Soziologie. Während sich die bisherige ungleichheitssoziologische Forschung vor allem der intergenerationalen Weitergabe von objektiven Dimensionen wie Einkommen, Bildung und Beruf konzentriert, widmet sich der vorliegende Beitrag der intergenerationalen Transmission einer subjektiven Dimension sozialer Ungleichheit, nämlich der intergenerationalen Transmission subjektiver Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit. Es wird untersucht, ob und wie die individuelle Verunsicherung im Lebensverlauf mit den Arbeitsplatzsorgen der Eltern zusammenhängt. Die Ergebnisse der Analysen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels zeigen, dass es eine solche intergenerationale Transmission subjektiver Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit gibt. Kinder aus verunsicherten Elternhäusern sind sowohl in ihrer Jugendphase pessimistischer, wenn es um die Einschätzung einer zünftigen Arbeitslosigkeit geht, und machen sich auch im frühen Erwerbsleben häufiger Sorgen um die Sicherheit ihres Arbeitsplatzes. Diese intergenerationale Ähnlichkeit lässt sich auf innerfamiliale Sozialisationsprozesse in der Jugendphase zurückführen und hat das Potenzial zu einem besseren Verständnis der Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheit über Generationen beizutragen."

Stoilova, Rumiana, Pepka Boyadjieva, Petya Ilieva-Trichkova, Veneta Krasteva, Gabriela Yordanova & Lachezar Nyagolov (2017): An interview study of early job insecurity and consequences for the transition to adulthood. (NEGOTIATE working paper 5.3), Oslo, 66 S.
Abstract
"The transition to adulthood is a process which poses various hardships to young people and in which they need to take significant decisions about their future life. When this process coincides with economic and financial crisis, with political and labour market transformation, the situation of the youth is further hampered.
Against this background, the present report focuses on the job insecurity among the youth in Europe and investigates its consequences for the transition to adulthood. It uses information from 209 life course interviews from seven European countries (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Norway, Poland and the United Kingdom). Drawing on these data, it has elaborated several patterns of the effects of the situation of early job insecurity on young people's scope for exercising active agency in relation to education, occupation/employment and family formation. We have differentiated between two groups of patterns - of realized and of impossible agency. In the group of patterns of realized agency, we included the following patterns of realized interactions with institutions and individuals: self-relying agency, institutionally-enabled agency, informally-enabled agency and social commitment-enabled agency. In the group of patterns of impossible agency, we classified: disoriented and unmotivated agency, hampered agency, and blocked agency.
This report also explores the main aspects of marginalization and social exclusion which deteriorate young people's scope for exercising active agency (and resilience) in the process of negotiating labour market situation and transition to adulthood. These aspects are analysed at three levels - micro, meso and macro. Thus, at micro level we focus on the low educational and occupational level, the lack of material resources, low autonomy and deteriorated mental/physical well-being. At meso level, we pay attention to the limited or restricted social capital, the limited institutional and NGO support and the insufficient regional and local opportunities. At macro level, we discuss the insufficient or ineffective policies related to education, employment and family.
This report also analyzes mechanisms of gendered labour market outcomes. More specifically, it discusses several situations which provoke considerable difficulties for women seeking satisfying employment, such as: motherhood (early motherhood and single mothers), care work and the need for work life balance, subjective perceptions of the interviewed on the scarring signals on the side of the employers and discrimination, based on gender and ethnicity as well as the chances for upward social mobility from a generational and gender perspective. The report results have clear policy implications. First, it points to the need for elaborating policies - both at local and national level - that directly or indirectly have a positive effect on the capabilities sets of young people with respect to three interrelated dimensions of capabilities related to work, education and autonomy. Second, it suggests that multiple exclusion, resulting from deprivation based on gender, ethnic origin, and class, be taken into account when assessing the effect of youth policies at European, national and local level. Finally, it proposes that socially-responsible business, which is engaged not only in charity but in the formation of the labour potential of employees, should be highlighted and motivated to continue its commitment."

Abstract
"Befristete Verträge werden in vielen Ländern der Europäischen Union als Instrument, Arbeitsmärkte flexibel zu gestalten, eingesetzt. Ein internationaler Vergleich zeigt, dass die befristete Beschäftigung nur bedingt die Durchlässigkeit der Arbeitsmärkte unterstützt. Zwar erleichtert sie teilweise den Arbeitsmarktzugang, führt aber auch zu instabilen Beschäftigungsverhältnissen und segmentierten Arbeitsmärkten, die mit einer geringen Sprungbrettfunktion der befristeten Beschäftigung einhergehen. Um nachhaltige Beschäftigung zu schaffen, erscheinen Reformen des Kündigungsschutzes, die Übergange in reguläre Jobs erleichtern, sowie Investitionen in Aus- und Weiterbildung als sinnvolle Alternativen" (Autorenreferat, © De Gruyter)

Abstract
"We investigate the impact of IT diffusion on the stability of employment. We document the evolution of different components of job instability over a panel of 348 cities in France, from the mid-1970s to the early 2000s. The evidence goes against the view that the diffusion of IT has spurred job instability. Yet, analysing long-term differences in the occupational structure, we find that IT diffusion has increased the share of high-skill occupations at the expense of low-skill occupations. This is consistent with French firms' reliance on their internal labour market to meet the new skill requirements associated with IT diffusion."

Abstract
"Seit den Hartz-Reformen in den Jahren 2003 bis 2005 gibt es Hinweise auf eine gestiegene Ungleichheit im deutschen Arbeitsmarkt. Anhand der Indikatoren Stabilität und Entlohnung untersuchen wir die Qualität von Beschäftigungsverhältnissen, die im Zeitraum von 1998 bis 2010 begonnen haben. Mit administrativen Daten aus den Integrierten Erwerbsbiographien analysieren wir die Verteilungen und modellieren individuelle Determinanten von Beschäftigungsdauern und Löhnen. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf ein hohes Maß an Stabilität in den Beschäftigungsdauern, einen Rückgang des Lohnniveaus und einen Anstieg der Lohnungleichheit während und nach der Periode der Hartz-Reformen hin."

Abstract
"Fitting duration models on an inflow sample of jobs in Germany starting in 2002 to 2010, the author investigates the impact of employers' use of temporary agency work on regular workers' job stability. In line with dual labor market theory, the author finds that nontemporary jobs are significantly more stable when employers use temporary agency workers. The rise in job stability stems mainly from reduced transitions into nonemployment, suggesting that nontemporary workers are safeguarded against involuntary job losses. The findings are robust to controlling for unobserved permanent employer characteristics and changes in the observational window that comprises the labor market disruption of the Great Recession."

Institutional determinants of early job insecurity in nine European countries (2016)
Zitatform
Hora, Ondrej, Markéta Horáková & Tomáš Sirovátka (2016): Institutional determinants of early job insecurity in nine European countries. (NEGOTIATE working paper 3.4), Oslo, 69 S.
Abstract
"In the European labour market, young people have been disproportionally affected by job insecurity indicated by unemployment, inactivity, job precariousness and fragmented careers during and after the economic crisis of 2008. This may be crucial for their ability to maintain a living income and to live a decent life on their present and future life course. The increasing polarisation in the labour market may become a persistent structural feature in the conditions of the changing employment structures and flexibilization of labour. This challenge was recognised at the EU level when Youth Opportunities Initiative (2011), Youth Employment Package (2012) and Youth Guarantee (2013) were launched and underpinned with financing from ESF schemes. The European countries, however, have experienced very different impacts of the crisis on their labour markets (Karamessini et al. 2016). Similarly, the initial responses in active labour market policies (ALMPs) to the crisis also diverged considerably (Clasen et al 2012). The question arises about the longer-term adaptations of labour market policy and other policies to the challenge of increasing early job insecurity and the associated structural changes in the labour market.
The aim of this paper is to assess in nine national contexts how recent reforms in labour market institutions and policies and the skill formation systems may have affected the incidence of early job insecurity and the patterns of labour market entry/integration of young women and men. Job insecurity as understood here includes two dimensions: (a) insecurity of maintaining the current job, (b) insecurity of getting another job in the future, that is, job insecurity and employment insecurity (compare Chung and van Oorschot 2011)."

The shifting job tenure distribution (2016)

Hyatt, Henry R. & James R. Spletzer (2016): The shifting job tenure distribution. (IZA discussion paper 9776), Bonn, 49 S.
Abstract
"There has been a shift in the U.S. job tenure distribution toward longer-duration jobs since 2000. This change is apparent both in the tenure supplements to the Current Population Survey and the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics matched employer-employee data. A substantial portion of these changes are caused by the ageing of the workforce and the decline in the entry rate of new employer businesses. We show that the tenure distribution is a function of historical hiring rates and tenure-specific separation rates, and we use this framework to show that the shift in the tenure distribution is accounted for primarily by declines in the hiring rate, which are concentrated in the labor market downturns associated with the 2001 and 2007-2009 recessions. We also find that the increase in average real earnings since 2007 is less than what would be predicted by the shift toward longer-tenure jobs; this reflects declines in tenure-held-constant real earnings. Regression estimates of the returns to job tenure provide no evidence that the shift in the job tenure distribution is being driven by better matches between workers and employers."

Abstract
"The present study examines the dynamics of early job insecurity before and during the crisis on the basis of the estimation of transition probabilities between labour market states and part-time/ full-time employment, with raw data drawn from the EU's Labour Force Survey (EULFS) and the EU's Survey on Living and Income Conditions (EU-SILC). Additionally, it serves the purpose of comparing patterns of labour market entry of young individuals during the crisis with those before the crisis, taking also gender into account in order to detect differences, if any, between the probability of a male or female young individual to move from school to employment and its evolution over time. It also considers whether the crisis has generated convergence or divergence in early job insecurity across Europe. Moreover, the evolution of the average age of young people leaving education and the labour fluidity of young individuals are estimated, in order to examine whether they have changed during the years of the crisis and to what extent. A number of different methodological approaches are used and the results uncover the significant differences between countries, when one considers the transition probabilities between labour market states and the school-to-work probabilities and their evolution over time. Differences are also evident in a number of early job insecurity indices and their changes between 2008 and 2015." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Die Angst der Mittelschicht vor dem sozialen Abstieg: eine Längsschnittanalyse 1984-2014 (2016)

Abstract
"Seit Mitte des ersten Jahrzehnts des 21. Jahrhunderts wird in der Öffentlichkeit über die Krise der Mittelschicht in Deutschland diskutiert. Behauptet wird, dass sich die Mittelschicht zunehmend vor sozialem Abstieg fürchte. Die Prüfung dieser These steht im Mittelpunkt des Aufsatzes. Dazu werden Befunde aus der Arbeitsmarkt- und der Armutsforschung referiert, denen zufolge Beschäftigungsunsicherheiten, die zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre nur für gering qualifizierte Erwerbspersonen typisch waren, nunmehr auch in Mittelschichtberufe einsickern. Zugleich wird ein Übergreifen von Abstiegsängsten auf Angehörige der Mittelschicht vermutet, die selbst nicht aktuell von Vertragsbefristungen oder unfreiwilligen Erwerbsunterbrechungen betroffen sind ('Spill Over'-Effekt). Mithilfe von SOEP-Daten 1984 bis 2007 werden deskriptive und multivariate Analysen unter Verwendung der empfundenen Sorge vor Arbeitsplatzverlust durchgeführt. Deskriptiv wird gezeigt, dass nur das mittlere Segment der Mittelschicht, die durchschnittlich qualifizierten Angestellten mit Routineaufgaben, einen im Zeitverlauf überproportionalen Anstieg an Abstiegsangst aufweisen. Panel-Regressionen zeigen, dass dieser Anstieg auch dann bestehen bleibt, wenn man u. a. den Erwerbskontext, die Branchenzugehörigkeit, den Haushaltskontext und weitere soziodemografische Merkmale eines Befragten berücksichtigt. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre ein zeitlicher Anstieg der Abstiegsangst der mittleren Mitte, der erwerbsstrukturell nicht erklärt werden kann." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"The objective of this article is to analyse the effect of acquiring a new formal qualification as an adult (measured as an upgrade or a side-step) on the likelihood of being in non-precarious employment. Three countries with similar longitudinal datasets are compared: Spain, the UK and Russia. The results indicate that adult education is beneficial in the three countries; with differences, however, depending on the definition of precarious employment used and the (previous) employment status of individuals. The findings suggest that the differences among countries are related to different labour market structures: adult education has a clearer beneficial impact on accessing and remaining in non-precarious employment in more flexible employment systems than in more rigid insider-outsider economies, where labour trajectories are strongly determined by what happens during the first years after school."

Abstract
"This paper studies the impact of product market competition on job security. I use differences between types of labor contracts to measure job security. The effect of competition on the use of different types of labor contracts is identified by changes in legislation that lead to exogenous shifts in competition. Using both worker data from the Spanish Labor Force Survey and firm data from the Spanish Business Strategies Survey, I show that job security decreases with competition. A one standard deviation increase in competition decreases the probability that a worker switches to a more secure labor contract by at least 22%." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

"This report describes the findings of a study of change in job tenure between 2002 and 2012 in the EU. The study examined change in mean tenure as well as the distribution of short and long tenure in the EU and in individual Member States. It also looked at differences in tenure according to different sociodemographic and job characteristics (gender, age, skill level, permanent and temporary employment, occupation and economic sector), examining in particular how tenure evolved before and during the economic and financial crisis. The link between job tenure and earnings was also investigated. Although the descriptive evidence did not reveal a decline in mean tenure or a decline in the relative importance of long-term employment relationships, analyses controlling for certain sociodemographic and job characteristics provided some evidence of an underlying trend of declining average tenure in EU Member States."

The rise of a latin model?: family and fertility consequences of employment instability in Italy and Spain (2015)

Abstract
"This paper analyses how unstable employment influences becoming a mother in Italy and Spain. Results suggest that institutional factors foster dynamics of social inequality and hinder family formation. We show that in southern Europe (Italy and Spain), but not in other institutional contexts, the lack of employment stability produces a delay in fertility decision. We attribute this impact of the employment situation on demographic decisions to the sub-protective southern European welfare systems and the insider - outsider labor market configuration, as enhanced by the partial and targeted labor market deregulations of recent decades. In the context of low levels of welfare, unstable employment often comes with persistently reduced entitlement to social and welfare rights, and, therefore, with notable social and demographic consequences. We provide support for this institutional argument by showing that fertility decisions are independent of employment stability in other contexts. Analyses are based on longitudinal data using event history analysis and simultaneous equation models." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Excessive sickness absence may hurt productivity and put a strain on public finances. One explanation put forward for increasing absence rates is that a tougher labour market represents a health hazard. A competing hypothesis is that loss of job security works as a disciplinary device. We use a financial shock that hit the public sector in Norway in 2007 in some, but not all, municipalities to identify the effect of reduced job security on sickness absence. Public sector workers in municipalities that were not affected are used as a control group in a difference-in-differences analysis. In addition, trends in sickness absence of public and private sector employees are compared, in a triple difference-in-differences analysis. We find that sickness absence among public employees decreased considerably in the year after the shock in the affected municipalities. The results survive a number of robustness checks. The evidence is strongest for women, and consistent with a hypothesis that reduced job security has a disciplining effect." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper examines the effects of age and tenure on job satisfaction. We estimate a generalized dynamic random effects ordered probit model using the British Household Panel Survey. Contrary to previous literature, we find that age has no significant impact on job satisfaction for females, and a limited impact for males who report higher levels of job satisfaction. We also find that tenure shares a non-monotonic relationship with job satisfaction for females. For males, the same result is found only at higher levels of job satisfaction. Our results suggest that age and tenure effects on job satisfaction vary with gender." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Job insecurity (threat of job loss) is widespread and becomes a permanent phenomenon for a lot of employees. Based on the response of 926 Finnish employees, this study investigated the direct lagged relationship between job insecurity, coping resources (job control, social support, and optimism), and employees' work- (vigor at work and job satisfaction) and family-related outcomes (work-family enrichment). Particular interest was in the moderating role of job control, support, and optimism in the job insecurity - employee outcome relationship. Our analyses of three-wave longitudinal data, collected in 2008, 2009, and 2010, showed that job control was the strongest lagged buffer against job insecurity in relation to vigor at work. In addition, social support longitudinally buffered against the negative effects of job insecurity on job satisfaction and vigor at work. However, optimism did not function as a buffering factor in any of the tested models." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
