“…The result of this high prevalence of cycling is that the median of the sum of all spells were more than twice as high (5 months) as that of the first (two months) (Dahl & Lorentzen, 2003a; see also Immervoll et al, 2015, table 9). A comparative study shows that in the Netherlands and Luxembourg, the first spell was much longer (median 9 months) than in Norway (and Sweden), but cycling occurred less frequently (Immervoll et al, 2015, see also, Lorentzen, 2006;Königs, 2018;Leisering & Walker, 1998;Saraceno, 2002). Long-term receipt of social assistance occurred rather rarely.…”

This article revisits earlier research on social assistance (SA) dynamics by applying a holistic life‐course approach, made possible by sequence analysis. We followed the life‐course over 20 years of young recipients of SA in Norway. The data material was derived from administrative data collected and linked by Statistics Norway. The study population was first‐time SA recipients aged 18–24 years in 1995. In addition to SA, spells of social security, schooling, work and earnings were examined. We found that SA plays a minor role over time, but that social security receipt constitutes an important trajectory for more than a quarter of the SA population. Education and work with medium earnings make up distinctly different and rather successful trajectories for about half of the SA population. Gender and early school‐leaving matter for trajectory affiliation. Women’s trajectories are to a greater extent than men’s characterised by unstable employment and low‐paid work.

The policy of supplying rice to the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the Sumenep district government is a form of government alignment to empower farmers by purchasing local agricultural products as a tribute to agricultural products produced by local farmers in Sumenep district. This study aims 1). To explore, identify, analyze and describe the implementation of the rice supply program policy for ASN based on Regent Regulation Number 64 of 2021 in Sumenep district; 2). To explore, identify, analyze and describe the impact of implementing the rice supply policy for ASN based on Regent Regulation Number 64 of 2021 in Sumenep district. This research was conducted to gain an understanding of the involvement of policy actors in the implementation of the Sumenep Regency Regent's Regulation Number 64 of 2021 concerning Provision of Rice for ASN. Therefore, explanatory research with descriptive studies (Stake, 2009) is used as an approach in answering research problems with qualitative methods as an attempt to explain the factors and mechanisms that cause the phenomenon of the object under study (Creswell, 2016). The results of this study indicate that individual actors influence the policy-making process for the provision of rice for ASN in the Sumenep district government providing input or opinions related to the issues orproblems raised, as well as providing support or resistance to the policies taken . However, the implementation of this policy is carried out by considering sustainability and not only temporary in order to provide sustainable benefits for ASN in the Sumenep district government. This policy is implemented fairly and evenly throughout all regional apparatus organizations (OPD), so that there is no discrimination against ASN from certain OPDs. In the policy cycle, actors from farmer groups, the Indonesian republican employee corps (KORPRI), as well as social institutions in Sumenep regency may have different roles depending on the stage of the ongoing policy cycle. Characteristics, interests, and motivations of actors in compiling content; context; and the policy implementation process as a complex process involving relevant stakeholders, including local governments, regionally owned enterprises (BUMD), rice producers and distributors. The impact of the rice supply policy for ASN in Sumenep district for farmers has the potential to increase demand for rice in the local market and provide opportunities for farmers to increase their sales and income. The impact on ASN can have social and political implications. If the program is successful and is perceived positively by the community, it can enhance the local government's image and increase political support. The impact on the local government is that not all regional apparatus organizations (OPD) and ASN receive and benefit from the policy of providing rice for ASN. This program must be properly implemented to avoid mistakes in the distribution of rice

Abstract: This study examines dynamics of solo self-employment. In particular, we investigate the extent of true state dependence and cross state dependence, i.e., whether experiencing solo self-employment causally affects the probability of becoming an employer in the future. We use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel to estimate dynamic multinomial logit models. Our results show that the extent of true (cross) state dependence is rather small. The observed persistence in solo self-employment as well as transitions from solo self-employment to employership can largely be explained by observed and unobserved heterogeneity. Terms of use: Documents inZusammenfassung: Diese Studie untersucht die Dynamik der Solo-Selbständigkeit (Verbleib, Zu-und Abgänge). Wir berechnen das Ausmaß genuiner Zustandsabhängigkeit für den Verbleib in Solo-Selbständigkeit und schätzen den kausalen Effekt der Solo-Selbstständigkeit auf die Wahrscheinlichkeit, Arbeitgeber zu werden. Die Berechungen basieren auf dynamischen multinomialen Logit-Modellen, die mit Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels geschätzt wurden. Unsere Ergebnisse deuten auf eine nur geringe genuine Zustandsabhängigkeit hin: Sowohl die beobachtete Persistenz in Solo-Selbständigkeit als auch die Übergänge zum Arbeitgeber-Status lassen sich größtenteils durch (beobachtete und unbeobachtete) individuelle Merkmale erklären.
