Individual Risk Factors and Outcomes
Joan
Payne, Bernard Casey, Clive Payne and Sara Connolly
Britain has grown used to high rates of long-term unemployment. But its familiarity does not lessen its seriousness for those whose lives it touches.
This book is about the impact of long-term unemployment on individual men and women. The authors ask:
- What kinds of people are most at risk of long-term unemployment?
- How does long-term unemployment come to an end - in full-time or part-time jobs, or in withdrawal from the labour market?
- What factors are associated with these different outcomes?
- Is it possible, when people first register as unemployed, to identify those who will become long-term unemployed ?
- What kind of jobs are taken by long-term unemployed people who find work?
- Are these jobs less well paid than the jobs they might have done if they had not been unemployed ?
Based on an analysis of two important and extensive national surveys, this detailed study will be invaluable for policy-makers and social scientists interested in employment issues - and for all those offering help and guidance to unemployed people.
