“…The link between socioeconomic position (SEP)traditionally measured by occupational position, education level, or income-and health and mortality is well established (Marmot and Wilkinson, 2006). Occupational position is suggested to be related to different levels of control and differences in overall working conditions, and this inevitably results in health differences (Geyer et al, 2006).…”

When a workplace/organization does not fulfill one's needs and wishes anymore, many individuals change to other workplaces/organizations. However, for some individuals this is not feasible as they perceive a lack of alternatives; they feel stuck in a non-preferred workplace (being locked in), or they may be in the risk zone of becoming locked in. Few studies have investigated the reasons for becoming locked in, and it is the aim of this study to investigate whether matching factors between work and individual and/or demographic factors can predict locked-in positions. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed-cross-sectionally and longitudinally (N = 3633-6449)-and showed that mismatch in terms of over-qualification and lack of physical and mental work abilities increased the odds ratios for being in locked-in positions. In contrast, working in relatively higher socioeconomic categories of both manual and non-manual work, commonly demanding higher education (vocational or academic), protected against being locked in. This study contributes to the career research field by studying determinants of disadvantageous career positions, which have been neglected in past research.

“…In Eastern Europe, living space traditionally has been scarce (Domański, 2008;Hegedüs and Teller, 2005) and this remains so in the post-socialist countries (OECD, 2005). Several scholars have observed, however, that this problem has been mitigated somewhat by the shrinkage of the population during the 1990's (Lux, 2003). Domański (2008) attributes the lack of adequate living space in the Eastern European reform states to their comparatively low Gross Domestic Products.…”

This chapter reviews the quality of life in European societies, drawing on sociological theories of the quality of life, and specifically touching upon the areas of housing, the environment, health, and time use. One major theme is the social stratification of quality of life, both within and between European societies. The chapter was published in Steffen Mau and Roland Verwiebe, European Societies. Mapping Structure and Change, Policy Press 2010. A Stata replication file that recreates all the Figures in the chapter is available.

“…The importance of the early years as a determinant of later chronic disease, mental illness, crime and adverse health and social outcomes, is increasingly being recognised [12]. Exposure to adversity during sensitive periods of development have been implicated as contributing to lasting changes in brain structure, emotional regulation and neuro-endocrine function through complex nutrition, metabolic and epigenetic mechanisms [3].…”

Background: We will describe here a translational social epidemiology protocol for confirming a critical realist “Theory of Neighbourhood Context, Stress, Depression, and the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD). The approach will include the concretising and contextualising of the above causal theory into programme theories for child and adolescent interventions that aim to break intergenerational cycles of disadvantage and poor life outcomes. In undertaking this work we seek to advance realist translational methodology within the discipline of applied perinatal and paediatric social epidemiology. Theory and Methods: The research settings are in metropolitan Sydney. The design will be a longitudinal, multi-level, mixed method realist evaluation of applied programme interventions that seek to break the intergeneration cycle of social disadvantage and poor child health and developmental outcomes. The programme of research will consist of three components: 1) Operationalisation of the theory and designing of programme initiatives for implementation; 2) Evaluation of the translated programme and implementation theory using Theory of Change and critical realist evaluation; and 3) Theory Testing of realist hypotheses using both intensive and extensive critical realist research methods including realist structural modelling. Discussion: The proposed programme of research will assist in translating empirical explanatory theory building to theory driven interventions. The research will be situated in socially disadvantaged regions of Sydney where the local child and family inter-agencies will collaborate to design and implement new initiatives that address significant disparities in childhood development and adolescent outcomes attributed to neighbourhood circumstances, family stress and intergenerational cycles of disadvantage and poor mental health.
