“…An implication is that despite the current generation of young people facing growing economic insecurity worldwide, outcomes are influenced by both support levels and whether it comes primarily from the state, market or family. This supports scholars who argue that the extent to which youth experience consequences of globalization depend upon "the nation-specific institutions that exist to shield, or conversely, funnel uncertainty to them" (Mills et al, 2005: 450), and that nation-state remains influential in determining the welfare of citizens (Buchholz et al, 2008;Buchholz et al, 2011).…”

“…This matters because early setbacks can cause lifelong economic and social scarring (Furlong, 2009). As a generation, contemporary young people are have been disproportionately subject to the growing labour market risks associated with globalization, and as a cohort face the likelihood of being worse off over their lifetimes than their parents' generation (Beck, 2016;Buchholz et al, 2011;Buchholz et al, 2009). The increasing complexity of young people's experience in a globalized world has highlighted commonality across countries.…”

“…Research has yet to determine the extent to which the conceptualization, operationalization, and emergence of the career self-management underpinnings of vocational functioning is culturally (non)invariant. However, increasingly globalized labor markets (Buchholz et al, 2011) and the universal nature of the notion of human agency (Bandura, 1992(Bandura, , 2009 suggest that individual agentic capacity to manage one's career is similarly relevant in cultures beyond the Western context.…”

Researchers widely agree upon the pivotal role of career self-management in vocational development. Yet, little is known about how core self-management constructs denoting agentic capacity affect each other reciprocally over time. We address the shortage of existing longitudinal change investigations by proposing and testing a reciprocal model in which career adaptability and occupational self-efficacy as core career self-management constructs are reciprocally interrelated. Cross-lagged panel analyses of three-wave data from a large and heterogeneous sample of employees indicate support for the presence of substantial reciprocal effects of career adaptability and occupational self-efficacy across time lags of three, six, and nine months. From a series of exploratory multigroup analyses, this pattern of results emerges as robust across a range of sociodemographic variables, including gender, age, education, leadership position, and organizational tenure. Moreover, the results remained stable after considering further controls (e.g., future temporal focus, grade point average). Our findings broaden the scope of dynamic vocational research by demonstrating the utility of a change-oriented approach in elucidating the emergence of individuals’ career self-management. We discuss practical implications concerning career intervention strategies, study limitations, and prospects for future research.

“…The pioneer model in this respect was the United Kingdom, which since the beginning of the 1980s has promoted the flexibilization of its labor market by, among other things, severely limiting the power of the trade unions, dissolving active commissions for minimum wage negotiations, reducing the period for which unemployment benefits are paid, and differentiating labor market regulations. 31 The Anglo-Saxon experiences formed the basis for employment strategies in many European countries, such as the Netherlands, 32 Denmark, 33 and Germany, 34 which have more or less an extensively flexible labor market and social policies.…”

Precarious employment as a determinant of health remains on the rise in Europe, in contrast to the European Pillar of Social Rights. Research in epidemiology, public health, and occupational health research has debated the health impacts of precarious employment. A number of studies have concluded that precarious employment contributes to poor health. More recent research has focused on the contextual influences of the association between precarious employment and health. Accordingly, we argue that the welfare state and the specific institutional arrangements on the national level determine and mediate the extent of the association between precarious employment and health. This research synthesis: (a) debates explanations for the rise of precarious employment in Europe, (b) illustrates how precarious employment has risen in Europe since the 1980s, (c) indicates empirical findings of the association between precarious employment and health in Europe, (d) discusses how research explains between-country differences of the association between precarious employment and health, and (e) presents empirical findings on the contextual determinants of the association between precarious employment and health in Europe.
