“…The data set provides the information necessary to measure precariousness at the entry stage of employment careers. A longitudinal sequence-analyses approach enables us to analyse entry-stage employment trajectories rather than treating labour market entry as a single event (Brzinsky-Fay 2014). This approach also allows for the identification of successful transitions into continuous employment and episodes of precarious employment.…”

The article investigates entry-stage employment trajectories of young people in Germany, asking whether transitions into continuous employment indicate successful labour market integration. Applying a novel multidimensional approach to precariousness to individuals' employment and household trajectories, we understand entry-stage employment trajectories holistically. The balanced-panel sample is drawn from the German SocioEconomic Panel, with a focus on young men and women between 15 and 25 years of age in the first year of the sample period who had been employed at least once (n = 1360). Dual-channel sequence-cluster analysis reveals considerable variation in the precariousness of young people's entry-stage employment. While almost all young men and women experience periods of precariousness, the durations vary substantially. Precarious employment or precarious living conditions frequently occur during education. Our results confirm that individuals with disrupted employment trajectories are seldom successfully integrated into the labour market and frequently experience precarious employment. In previous research, transitions into continuous employment have been understood as the hallmark of successful labour market integration. This holds true for young women but not for young men, who experienced continuous and precarious entry-stage employment. To correctly identify young men's successful labour market integration, additional information about their employment precariousness is required.

“…Thus, the second domain, Quality of jobs, includes indicators such as temporary and part-time employment. In the literature EJI is often studied by measuring school-to-work transitions (e.g., Brzinsky-Fay, 2014;Eurofound, 2014;Flek and Mysíková, 2015). In this respect we take into account the school-to-labour-market transition of youth by estimating the transition probabilities from school to employment, to unemployment and to inactivity.…”

“…At the individual level, transitions and trajectories construct individual life courses (Billari, ). Transition can be defined as a change between an initial and a destination status (Brzinsky‐Fay, ). Trajectories, however, highlight long‐term patterns of behavior (Elder & Shanahan, ).…”

Social assistance receipt is typical among young adults, but the long‐term trajectories of social assistance receipt have been less studied. We use Finnish population register data to study the kinds of social assistance trajectories found among young adults. We also analyze how individual and family characteristics are associated with the likelihood of following different social assistance trajectories. Individuals are followed from the age of 19 to 25. According to the results, social assistance receipt is relatively common among young adults but spell duration is usually short. Around 35% receive social assistance at least once between the ages of 19 and 25, and 2.5% receive social assistance each year. Using latent class growth analysis, we estimated six trajectories based on the annual number of social assistance months: (1) no receipt; (2) transitory; (3) slow exit; (4) occasional; (5) increase; and (6) dependency. Almost 4% of young adults follow the “dependency” trajectory. The results from multinomial logistic regression indicate that having only a short education is a particularly strong predictor of social assistance dependency. Parental social assistance receipt and moving out of the parental home at a young age are also significant predictors of social assistance receipt.
