Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study we investigate the effects of active labour market policy measures on health and well-being and how these effects are connected with socioeconomic status. The data were collected among the participants (n = 212) in 24 conventional vocational training courses in Finland. According to the results, training was accompanied by improvements in health and well-being among participants with a higher socioeconomic status, whereas for blue-collar workers the changes were neutral or even detrimental. The results raise questions about the role of active labour market policy measures as a public service. There seems to be a risk that these types of measures maintain or even produce health differences between socioeconomic groups.

Attitudes towards job protection legislation: Comparing insiders and outsiders in Finland, Norway and Sweden
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article investigates employees' attitudes towards job protection legislation and attitudinal differences between employees with different levels of job security. National surveys from three Nordic countries, using different measures of insider-outsider positions in the labour market, do not support the assumption that outsiders (those with insecure jobs) prefer laxer job protection legislation. On the contrary, workers in secure jobs seem more likely to prefer laxer regulation.

Tracks of labour market attachment in early middle age : A trajectory analysis over 12 years

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The predominant aim of this study was to contribute to the methodology in research on work trajectories as essential element of the life course in adulthood. Data on the labour market attachment of a population cohort (n = 1005) from age 30 to age 42 were collected with a questionnaire. We applied trajectory analysis in order to define different attachment tracks. According to the information criteria, six tracks were discerned: in addition to those who are in permanent employment (high-level attachment), in temporary employment (medium-level attachment) and out of work (poor-level attachment) throughout early middle age, we were able to define subgroups that move from temporary to permanent employment (strengthening attachment) or vice versa (weakening attachment), and also some who enter working life and attain permanent employment at a relatively high age (delayed attachment). On average, attachment was high and strengthened with time, indicating that no major de-standardization of employment occurred during the follow-up years (1995-2007) in the studied labour market and age cohort. Given longitudinal data with at least ordinal scale variables, the applied trajectory analysis may be recommended as a "method of choice" in clustering the diverse and non-standard work-life courses into a meaningful set of tracks.

Job Insecurity and Mental Well-Being in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Consequences of Flexicurity in a Nordic Welfare Setting
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies. - 2245-0157. ; 5:2, s. 33-53
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article describes how the flexicurity arrangement of low job security, high employment security, and good income security advocated by various authors affects the mental well-being of employees. Data are derived from a survey carried out in 2010–2011 among employees in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The main findings are that all three forms of cognitive security (the perceived risk) have an independent effect on mental well-being and that the worry of insecurity (the affective component) mediates the relationship with mental well-being. The interaction effects show that high levels of employment security can alleviate the detrimental effects of job insecurity on mental well-being. No similar interaction effect was found with job insecurity and income security. The results are discussed in relation to the institutional arrangements of the Nordic countries’ welfare states, concluding that the high employment security needed for a successful flexicurity arrangement requires either low levels of unemployment or effective and extensive active labor market programs. Flexicurity is thus susceptible to economic turmoil and requires further labor market investments, even in the Nordic countries.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper examines how Finnish and Swedish employees‟ perception of job, employment and income insecurity affect their mental well-being. Importantly, we suggest that a multifaceted concept of labour market insecurity demands not only the inclusion of these three forms, instead of insecurity as a general concept only, but also that a distinction must be made between the cognitive and affective understanding of insecurity. The results show that the situation as regards labour market insecurity is fairly similar when comparing Finland and Sweden. The fear of financial stress is of great concern, clearly affecting the mental well-being of employees while some other forms of insecurity, such as the cognitive appraisal that one risks losing one‟s job, do not. The results support the argument that insecurity could successfully be analysed as a multifaceted concept.
