青年工人往往是临时工，因此可能会遇到工作不稳定的情况。这项研究调查了客观工作不安全感（即，在青年工人中，将工作不安全感与心理健康、工作满意度和生活满意度进行比较，检验教育的调节作用。基于德国社会经济小组的1522名劳动力市场进入者的纵向分析显示，主观工作不安全感与心理健康下降和满意度降低有关，而客观工作不安全感则与此无关。教育分为三个层次：大学学位、职业培训和低资格。没有充分证据表明，具有职业资格的人比低资格或大学毕业生更容易受到主观职业不安全感的影响。结果表明，无论教育，主观的工作不安全感的有害后果出现在职业生涯的早期。应改善青年工人获得有保障就业的机会，以防止他们过早感到不满和心理健康受损。
Young workers are often temporarily employed and thus likely to experience job insecurity. This study investigates associations of objective job insecurity (i.e., temporary employment) and subjectively perceived job insecurity with mental health, job satisfaction and life satisfaction among young workers, testing the moderating role of education. The longitudinal analysis based on 1522 labor market entrants from the German Socio-Economic Panel revealed that subjective job insecurity was associated with decreased mental health and lower satisfaction, whereas objective job insecurity was not. Three levels of education were differentiated: university degree, vocational training and low-qualified. There was weak evidence that those with vocational qualifications were more vulnerable to subjective job insecurity than either the low-qualified or university graduates. The results suggest that irrespective of education, detrimental consequences of subjective job insecurity emerge early in the career. Access to secure employment should be improved for young workers to prevent early dissatisfaction and impairment of their mental health.
