Employment precarity, Unemployment and Social Exclusion

Objective

The three-year research project will examine the processes that link employment precarity, unemployment and social exlcusion. The research will be comparative, involving 8 countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, The Netherlands, Ireland, Italy and Sweden:

It will involve three components:

* The measurement of the cumulative disadvantages associated with employment vulnerability and the analysis of the way this has changed from the mid-1980s to the beginning of the 1990s.
* An analysis, in part based upon longitudinal data, of the causal relationship between employment situations, economic poverty and cultural and social poverty; and between household and social relations and economic integration.
* An analysis of the relationship between the form of welfare state provision and the extent of cumulative disadvantage/opportunities for re-integration, in order to provide theoretical interpretation of the results of the statistical analysis.

The countries selected provide major contrasts with respect to labour market institutions and welfare provisions. The implications of theses institutional differences will be examined through comparative analyses.

The comparative analyses will be based on two types of data set:

* National cross-sectional and longitudinal data sets which will be aligned for this purpose.
* European Community household Panel which will provide direct comparability.

The project will lead to the provision of standardised variables across a range of national data sets, new statistical tabulations and a set of interpretative papers.

Each of the eight teams will deliver two working papers which will give rise to a synthetical report.

A meeting will be organized in year 1997 in order to allow for a subsequent presentation and discussion of findings with reprsentatives of NGO's and relevant European institutions (CE, EP, ESC...)
