Comparative Analysis on the Difference of Reemployment among Unemployed Workers at Various Education Levels
Education and Economy, 2020Co-Authors: Wei Li-pingAbstract:By employing nonparametric method of duration model and using Xiamen urban survey unemployment data,this paper comparatively analyses the difference of unemployment duration and reemployment probability among Unemployed Workers at various education levels.The empirical analysis finds:primary education and vocational education Unemployed Workers have the shortest unemployment duration and the highest reemployment probability,the second is university education Unemployed Worker,the last is middle education Unemployed Worker and high education Unemployed Worker.Nevertheless,the difference between primary education Unemployed Worker and vocational education Unemployed Worker and the difference between middle education Unemployed Worker and high education Unemployed Worker are not statistically significant.The empirical analysis also suggests that policies to increase reemployment and build harmonious society should focus on changing attitude toward reemployment and developing vocational education,enhancing the quality of laborers.

Job Loss, Unemployment, and Families
Oxford Handbooks Online, 2014Co-Authors: Frances M. Mckee-ryan, Robyn MaitozaAbstract:The detrimental effects of job loss and unemployment are not limited to the Unemployed Worker but ripple out to affect those closest to him or her. These ripple effects most notably impact the Unemployed Worker’s family, including a spouse or partner and/or children. In this chapter, we summarize previous research related to the impacts on marital or partner relationships and families and the particular effects of unemployment on children. For couples and families, we explore the financial or economic stressors and strain brought about by job loss; the direct, crossover, and relationship quality effects of stress and reduced mental health among Unemployed Workers and their spouses; protective resources for coping with job loss, such as social support and family resilience; and the social roles and identity of the Unemployed Worker. For children, we focus on mental health, child development, and educational/human capital attainment. We then offer suggestions for future research on families facing unemployment.

Unemployment: a psychoanalytic approach to families of Unemployed Workers
Journal of Psychosocial Studies, 2019Co-Authors: Belinda MandelbaumAbstract:The author carried out a psychosocial study on the repercussions of unemployment in poor Workers and their families, which involved psychoanalytically based observations and interventions with Unemployed population attended at a Reference Center for Workers’ Health in a lower middle class neighbourhood in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. After an initial discussion on unemployment as one of the drastic results of the contemporary forms of worldwide capitalism, and a presentation of some ideas concerning the contemporary debate on the relations between unemployment and psychic life, she shows some findings of the research, through which she sustains that the immediate experience with the Unemployed Worker and his/her family adds to the theoretical conceptions on unemployment an organic dimension, the active aspect of each of the implicated ones. The findings suggest that in face of the trauma provoked by the unemployment experience, the family tends to be the central nucleus of elaboration, the remaining territory for a personal re-organization of the new situational reality that unemployment generates, although it cannot meet the material and emotional demands that were previously supplied, even though precariously, by the insertion in the work world.

identity work and the Unemployed Worker age disability and the lived experience of the older Unemployed
Work Employment & Society, 2009Co-Authors: Kathleen Riach, Wendy LorettoAbstract:This article seeks to explore how older individuals negotiate and manage their self-identity in relation to work while situated without paid employment. After reviewing the current positions of the older Unemployed in the UK, noting the substantial overlap between age and disability, we turn our attention to conceptualizing the lived experiences of individuals through exploring `identity work' as a means of understanding a non-working work identity. Based upon focus group interviews, our empirical analysis focuses on key dimensions of participants' identity practice and how they sought to manage the following social processes: imposed identities; crafting working identities; and contesting unfavourable working identities.The conclusion contextualizes the findings against a backdrop of increasing individualistic discourses underpinning approaches to employability, closes with the policy implications arising from this study, and makes suggestions for future research agendas.
