“…Umkehrer (2019) shows that the initial effect varies by type of training, with manual and service occupation experiencing long-term effects and technical occupations experiencing medium-term effects. In addition, persistent initial effects from adverse initial labor market conditions have also been found in studies from Great Britain (Taylor 2013), Austria (Brunner and Kuhn 2014), Spain (Fernández-Kranz and Rodriguez-Planas 2018), Belgium (Cockx and Ghirelli 2015) and Norway (Raaum and Røed 2006;Liu, Salvanes, and Sørensen 2016;Haaland 2018), among others. 7 In some countries with a rigid wage structure, there are stronger effects on the probability of being employed.…”

Unlucky young workers entering the labor market in recessions suffer a range of medium-to long-term consequences. This paper summarizes the findings of the growing empirical literature on this subject and uses it to assess economic models of career development. The literature finds large initial effects on earnings, labor supply, and wages that tend to fade after ten to fifteen years in the labor market, and that are accompanied by changes in occupation, job mobility, and employer characteristics. Adverse initial labor market entry also has persistent effects on a range of social outcomes, including timing and completed fertility, marriage and divorce, criminal activities, attitudes, and risky alcohol consumption. There is also evidence that early exposure to depressed labor market lowers health and raises mortality in middle age, patterns accompanied by a reopening of earnings gaps.

“…We also draw links to recent studies that have investigated the effects of labor market entry conditions on earnings (e.g. Brunner and Kuhn, 2014; Haaland, 2018; Kondo, 2015). Although these strands of literature have grown considerably in recent years, still only few studies deal explicitly with labor market differences between migrants and nonmigrants in the early‐career stage after graduation—especially in the context of ‘European’‐type dual education systems (Crivellaro, 2014).…”

This paper investigates the role that spatial mobility plays for early‐career labor market outcomes across education programs and qualification levels. We use data for the full population of Danish graduates from upper (post‐)secondary and tertiary education programs to estimate the labor market returns from migrating after graduation. Benchmark OLS estimates find positive correlations between migration, the employment probability, and entry wages. We further apply IV estimation with instruments constructed from exogenous push factors into migration at the individual, education institution, and local labor market level. Results confirm a mobility premium for graduates from tertiary but not from vocational education programs.

“…Age, period and cohort effects are important time-variant elements to consider when investigating transitions. For example, tight labour market conditions at graduation age affect the labour market entrance of young adults and have persistent negative effects on earnings, employment and disability pension utilisation 19. Similarly, place, for example, the regional or national structure of labour markets or the type of social welfare system, can shape the transition process.…”

BackgroundMany young adults leave the labour market because of mental health problems or never really enter it, through early moves onto disability benefits. Across many countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, between 30% and 50% of all new disability benefit claims are due to mental health problems; among young adults this moves up to 50%–80%.OutlineWe propose a research agenda focused on transitions in building young adults’ mental health and early working life trajectories, considering varying views for subgroups of a society. First, we briefly review five transition characteristics, then we elaborate a research agenda with specific research questions.Research agendaOur research agenda focuses on transitions as processes, in time and place and as sensitive periods, when examining young adults’ mental health and early working life trajectories from a life course perspective. As more and more childhood and adolescent cohorts mature and facilitate research on later life labour market, work and health outcomes, transition research can help guide policy and practice interventions.Future cross-disciplinary researchIn view of the many challenges young adults face when entering the changing world of work and labour markets, future research on transitions in young adults related to their mental health and early working life trajectories will provide ample opportunities for collaborative cross-disciplinary research and stimulate debate on this important challenge.
