Does transition from an unstable labour Market Position to permanent employment protect mental health? Results from a 14-year follow-up of school-leavers
BMC Public Health, 2008Co-Authors: Ieva Reine, Mehmed Novo, Anne HammarströmAbstract:Background Having secure employment, in contrast to being unemployed, is regarded as an important determinant of health. Research and theories about the negative health consequences of unemployment indicated that transition from unemployment to a paid job could lead to improved health. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that obtaining permanent employment after being in an unstable labour Market Position protects mental health. Methods A 14-year follow-up of all graduates from compulsory school in an industrial town in northern Sweden was performed at ages 16, 18, 21 and 30 years. Complete data on the cohort were collected for 1044 individuals with the aid of a comprehensive questionnaire. The response rate was 96.4%. The health measurement used in this study was the psychological symptoms analysed by multivariate logistic regression. Those who obtained permanent employment were the focus of the analysis. This group consisted of people who were in an unstable labour Market Position for a year or more between the ages of 25 and 29, and who had acquired a permanent job one year before and at the time of the investigation. Results After controlling for gender as well as for an indicator of health-related selection, possible confounders and mediators, an association was found between the lower probability of psychological symptoms and obtaining permanent employment (OR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.19–0.63) as well as having permanent employment (OR = 0.22, 95% CI 0.10–0.51). Conclusion Our findings suggest that transition from an unstable labour Market Position to permanent employment could be health-promoting, even after controlling for possible confounders and mediators, as well as for an indicator of health-related selection. However, as there are few studies in the field, there is a need for more longitudinal studies in order to further analyse the relationship and to examine possible explanations. The policy implication of our study is that the transformation of unstable labour Market Positions into permanent employment could contribute to better public health.

Citizenship and Labor Market Position: Turkish Immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands
International Migration Review, 2010Co-Authors: Rob Euwals, Jaco Dagevos, Mérove Gijsberts, Hans RoodenburgAbstract:The relation between citizenship and labor Market Position is complex. Besides a causal impact from citizenship towards labor Market Position, several selection mechanisms may cause particular immigrants to choose for naturalization. We investigate the empirical relation on the basis of German and Dutch survey data. For the Netherlands we find a positive relation between citizenship and labor Market Position, while for Germany we find mixed results as citizenship is negatively related to tenured employment. The contrasting results may be explained by institutional differences. In Germany, economic self-reliance is more strictly required for naturalization than in the Netherlands. This may lead to a stronger incentive to naturalize for workers with a temporary contract in Germany.

the labour Market Position of turkish immigrants in germany and the netherlands reason for migration naturalisation and language proficiency
Research Papers in Economics, 2007Co-Authors: Rob Euwals, Jaco Dagevos, Mérove Gijsberts, Hans RoodenburgAbstract:On the basis of two datasets, the German Socio-Economic Panel 2002 and the Dutch Social Position and Use of Provision Survey 2002, we investigate the importance of characteristics related to immigration for the labour Market Position of Turkish immigrants. We use regression techniques to correct for comPosition effects in employment rates, tenured job rates and job prestige scores (ISEI). First, we find that educational attainment and language proficiency have a higher return in the Netherlands than in Germany. Second, we find that second generation immigrants have improved their labour Market Position relative to the first generation of labour migrants and their partners. The improvement is largely due to an improvement in educational attainment and language proficiency. Third, for the Netherlands we find a positive relation between naturalisation and labour Market Position, while for Germany we find a negative relation with tenured employment. The contrasting results on tenured employment may be explained partly by differences in immigration rules. In Germany, economic self-reliance is more important than in the Netherlands, and this may lead to a stronger incentive to naturalise for workers with a temporary contract.

immigration integration and the labour Market turkish immigrants in germany and the netherlands
2007Co-Authors: Rob Euwals, Jaco Dagevos, Mérove Gijsberts, Hans RoodenburgAbstract:On the basis of three micro datasets, the German Socio-Economic Panel 2002, the Dutch Social Position and Use of Provision Survey 2002 and the Dutch Labour Force Survey 2002, we investigate the labour Market Position of Turkish immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands. We compare labour Market outcomes of Turkish immigrants, including both the first and second generation, and natives in both countries by using the Blinder-Oaxaca decomPosition method. We find that Turkish immigrants have lower employment rates, lower tenured job rates and lower job prestige scores than natives. In both countries, the lower level of education and the age comPosition of the Turkish immigrants partly explains the unfavourable labour Market Position. The standardized gap – the gap that remains after correction for the observed individual characteristics – in the employment and tenured job rate remains large for the Netherlands, while the standardized gap in the job prestige score remains large for Germany. Differences in past immigration policies between Germany and the Netherlands are likely to be important for explaining the labour Market Position of Turkish men in both countries.

The Labour Market Position of Turkish Immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands: Reason for Migration, Naturalisation and Language Proficiency

Labour Market Position of Turks in the Netherlands and Germany
2006Co-Authors: Jaco Dagevos, Rob Euwals, Mérove Gijsberts, Hans RoodenburgAbstract:Original title: Turken in Nederland en Duitsland. The idea has been in circulation for some time that immigrants in the Netherlands integrate less quickly than in neighbouring countries. Is this really the case? In order to obtain a better impression of the reality, this study compares the labour Market Position of Turkish people in the Netherlands and Germany. It looks at whether Turkish people in the Netherlands less often have (permanent) jobs than their peers in Germany, and whether there are differences in occupational level. The findings are related among other things to differences in the comPosition of the Turkish population in the two countries and the prevailing immigration and integration policy.

Constructing the Market Position of a project-based firm
International Journal of Project Management, 2013Co-Authors: Tuomas Ahola, Jaakko Kujala, Teuvo Laaksonen, Kirsi AaltonenAbstract:Abstract Project Marketing research has shown that project-based firms (PBFs) can favorably differentiate themselves from their competitors by developing a strong functional Position and a strong relational Position in a specific Market milieu. Combined, these two interrelated Positions constitute the Market Position of a project-based firm, and inter-organizational relationships (IORs) between a PBF and other actors in the milieu play an important role in its development. Active development of IORs to key actors simultaneously increases the effectiveness of the focal PBF in delivering solutions to its customers (functional Position) and simultaneously enables it to occupy a stronger Position in the milieu linking it to its customers (relational Position). We present evidence from an empirical case focusing on how an automation system supplier gradually constructed a strong Market Position in the Russian oil and gas industry.
