“…Individuals with fewer job concerns are more satisfied -not only with their employment situation but also with life in general (Berth et al, 2005;Geishecker, 2012). This close relationship between job security and life satisfaction explains why job security concerns also affect family choices such as the decision to marry or have children (Kreyenfeld, 2010;Lozza et al, 2013). Other possible long-term consequences of job insecurity include mental health issues and lower job performance and higher intention to change jobs (Chirumbolo and Hellgren, 2003;Greenhalgh and Rosenblatt, 2010;Sverke et al, 2002).…”

Terms of use: Documents in IntroductionAn objective shared by all working peopleregardless of their educational background, occupational position, or age -is to achieve high job security throughout working life. Research on the importance of both objective and subjective job security has gained increasing attention in the social sciences over recent years. A high level of subjective job security is an important determinant of a number of positive life outcomes and is therefore a major policy objective. Empirical research has shown that Workplace training in Germany and its impact on subjective job security: Short-or long-term returns?Bettina Kohlrausch and Anika Rasner Section 1.01 Soziologisches Forschungsinstitut Göttingen (SOFI) an der Georg-August-Universität, Germany German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), Socio-Economic Panel Study AbstractBased on data from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study, this article analyses the effects of workplace training in Germany on subjective job security. Using fixed-effects models, this article tests whether workplace training has positive effects on perceived job security, and if so, whether the returns are of a short-or long-term nature. The results confirm a positive effect of workplace training on perceived job security, not only in the short term but in the long term as well. The inclusion of interaction terms for different levels of education shows that low-educated individuals benefit most from participation in workplace training. The immediate effect on subjective job security is strongest, and the post-training effect is most sustained for this group compared to those with higher levels of education. Lower-educated employees often lack access to workplace training, however. The authors conclude that workplace training has the potential to be a mutually beneficial investment for both employers and employees. More targeted policy incentives should aim at enhancing access to workplace training, most importantly for the loweducated, as for them training might be an effective means for improved employment prospects.

“…This is in line with the assumption that job insecurity can be compensated by other factors (e.g., income provided by other household members) and need not lead to precarity of living conditions. Lozza et al (2013) further show a negative impact of job insecurity on long-term projects such as buying a home, marrying or having a child.…”

“…Previous studies have found job insecurity to be associated with a number of negative phenomena, including stress and work intensification (Burchell et al 2002), mental health problems (Sverke et al 2002;, lower levels of organizational commitment (De Witte/Näswall 2003), and negative impacts on family relations (Hense 2015;Lozza et al 2013). Castel (2003) explains the effects on family relations and social networks as indirect effects of the change in social security systems from family care to professional care financed collectively.…”

“…However, the effect is shown to depend on the availability of assets and other sources of income, indicating that precautionary savings may be motivated by anticipated future income constraints. Going beyond this by including subjective job insecurity Lozza et al (2013) show that subjective insecurity is more important than the objective current employment condition in orienting daily consumption. This is in line with the assumption that job insecurity can be compensated by other factors (e.g., income provided by other household members) and need not lead to precarity of living conditions.…”

“…In contrast, sustainability is characterized by a long-term perspective that implies thinking about the well-being of future generations. Hence, sustainable development needs a time horizon that is hard to sustain for people perceiving high employment insecurity as indicated by the studies of its impact on the consumption of durables (Benito 2005) or longterm projects (Lozza et al 2013).…”

Pro-environmental consumption is one element of the behavioral change that is necessary to ensure sustainability. It is well known that consumption patterns differ according to socioeconomic status in general and that pro-environmental consumption behavior is affected by, among others, people's gender, education and current income. However, relatively few studies have tried to link pro-environmental consumption and socioeconomic characteristics beyond these well-known correlations. We aim to contribute to this literature by looking at the effects of the growing employment insecurity on pro-environmental consumption. Therefore we first review the literature on the effects of insecure employment and develop our hypotheses on the effects on purchase of organic food (as an example of pro-environmental consumption). Employing data from the German SocioEconomic Panel, we show that employment insecurity negatively affects frequency of organic food purchase, as well as perceived freedom of choice and attitudes toward organic food purchase. Our results thus hint at direct and indirect effects of insecurity on pro-environmental consumption behavior. The policy conclusion is that any strategy for sustainable development needs to include social policy in order to enable behavioral change.

In der Familienforschung lassen sich zwei Grundpositionen zu Familie identifi zieren, die seit Jahrzehnten das Spektrum bilden, in dem sich die Untersuchungen zu diesem Gegenstand bewegen: Einerseits eine institutionelle Perspektive, die Fa milie als eine Institution betrachtet, die auch unabhängig von ihren Mitgliedern gedacht werden kann, und andererseits die mikrosoziale Perspektive, innerhalb derer Familie als Zusammenleben miteinander interagierender Familienmitglieder interpretiert wird. Die Reihe "Familienforschung" präsentiert Buchpublikationen in der gesamten Breite der Forschungsthemen zu Partnerschaft und Familie. Die Veröffentlichungen umfassen dabei sowohl sozialwissenschaftliche Grundlagen, als auch angewandte praxisorientierte Forschung. Einer interdisziplinären Sichtweise auf Familie Rechnung tragend werden neben der Soziologie auch Untersuchungen aus anderen Fächern wie z.B. der Psychologie, Pädagogik und den Wirtschaftswis senschaften in die Reihe aufgenommen.
