EUROPEAN LABOUR MARKETS UNDER PRESSURE – NEW KNOWLEDGE ON PATHWAYS TO INCLUDE PERSONS IN VULNERABLE SITUATIONS

Descripción del proyecto

Vías de inclusión en el mercado laboral

A pesar de los continuos intentos de reducir las desigualdades y promover la inclusión social en el mercado laboral europeo, sigue siendo habitual que las personas sufran discriminación. Las personas en situación de vulnerabilidad por razones de género, etnia, edad, salud, discapacidad, orientación sexual y situación familiar están expuestas a la desigualdad en tres procesos centrales del mercado laboral: la contratación, las trayectorias profesionales y el abandono de la vida laboral. Mediante la combinación de diversos métodos, datos y disciplinas (economía, ciencias políticas y sociología), el equipo de PATHS2INCLUDE proporcionará una visión sobre cómo los factores institucionales y contextuales conforman obstáculos para las personas en situación vulnerable. A partir de estos conocimientos, el proyecto elaborará propuestas de políticas eficaces de lucha contra la discriminación en el mercado laboral de la Unión Europea.

Objetivo

PATHS2INCLUDE will provide new, gender-sensitive, comparative knowledge-base on effective employment policies targeted at developing inclusive labour markets for persons in vulnerable situations in Europe. The study will examine the importance of intersectionality related to how context creates vulnerability, by focusing on three central labour-market processes: recruitment; career trajectories; and work exit. Through the involvement of national and European stakeholders, PATHS2INCLUDE aims to develop proposals for effective policies and to inform relevant policymakers with a view to maximising the project’s impact from a societal as well as scientific perspective. The project will combine diverse methods, data and disciplines (economics, political science and sociology) in innovative ways: (1) harmonised factorial survey experiment combined with qualitative interview studies with employers in four European countries (DE, NO, PL and RO); (2) causal analyses of comparative microdata; (3) microsimulation analysis exploiting the EUROMOD infrastructure. Linking the analyses of these data and the three central labour-market processes, will give original insights on how institutional and contextual factors shape barriers or mitigate risk of labour-market attachment among persons in vulnerable situations. These insights could include cross-national differences in employment-protection legislations and facilitation of care, regional differences in demand for labour, differences at company level related to the size of the firm, flexibilities in job tasks, and conditions that were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, covering unemployment rates and infection-control measures across different segments of the labour market. The project will be implemented by an interdisciplinary consortium of seven research institutions and one European civil society organisation. The consortium has a balanced composition in terms of gender, stage of the career and area of expertise.
