The Intergenerational Transmission of Joblessness

该项目旨在揭示导致澳大利亚以及整个欧洲、亚洲和美国一代又一代人失业的机制、渠道和因素。通过创建一个关于选定国家家庭的丰富纵向数据集，它计划挑战现有理论，询问家庭工作-福利轨迹、价值观和动态的各个方面在多个国家、不同时间以及不同劳动力市场、制度和家庭背景下的表现是否不同。项目成果可能为制定有效的干预措施提供循证知识，以避免失业现象代代相传。

The project aims to unpack the mechanisms, channels and factors that drive joblessness from one generation to the next in Australia and across Europe, Asia and the United States. By creating a rich longitudinal dataset on families across the selected countries, it plans to challenge existing theories by asking whether aspects of family’s work–welfare trajectories, values and dynamics play out differently across multiple nations, over time and in different labour market, institutional and family contexts. Project results may provide evidence-based knowledge for the development of effective interventions to avert the persistence of joblessness across generations.
