Intergenerational worklessness international context role

项目摘要

Intergenerational worklessness, the association in workless spells across generations, is a new and important topic of increasing interest in academia, political circles and the public domain. The research fits well with one of the ESRCs main strategic priorities under the heading of 'A Fair and Vibrant Society', specifically asking 'How mobile is our society?'. Intergenerational worklessness captures a particularly severe type of deprivation that is passed across generations. By providing the first evidence for a wide range of countries, this proposal will enable us to measure how much of a problem a lack of mobility for those stuck at the bottom of the labour market is in an international context. The first strand of this project will present the first international comparison of intergenerational worklessness across Europe, the USA, Australia and Canada. The work will have a particular focus on labour market entrants in the second generation to assess whether intergenerational factors might be driving the recent surge in youth unemployment rates. The second strand of this research will build on this, considering the role of local labour markets, welfare systems and education systems in the transmission of workless spells. More specifically it will aim to:1) Ask whether intergenerational associations arise because some countries have more work (lower unemployment) than other countries or whether there is an additional penalty of living in a country with no work and having a workless father.2) Assess whether there is any association between countries with more generous welfare systems for labour market entrants and high persistence in workless spells across generations. 3) Examine how education systems prepare young people for employment across countries and how this is associated with patterns in intergenerational worklessness. The project will aim to deal with the obvious methodological challenges faced in identifying the effect of these factors on intergenerational worklessness by exploiting variation across countries and time where possible. Along with producing new and valuable research, I will use this grant to learn a variety of new skills that will enable me to become a research leader. I will build on my existing international networks with planned trips to Harvard University, the University of Melbourne and the Swedish Institute of Social Research, all supported by international experts based at these institutions. I will expand my knowledge of methodologies and welfare and education systems beyond my current UK focus, attending training courses and learning from my new networks. I will also gain management skills by leading a grant for the first time, managing a budget and managing a junior researcher. Finally, I will improve on my communication skills by working with the communications team in my department to create maximum exposure for my work.I have a proven record in writing high-impact research and will use this experience and contacts to ensure this new work is widely disseminated. I believe that the topical nature of the research will make this of interest to a wide range of audiences, including academics, policy makers and practitioners. I will aim to publish this research in leading peer-reviewed academic journals such as the Journal of European Social Policy, Demography and the Journal of European Economic Association and present my work at a number of international conferences including the Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America, the Annual European Network for Social Policy Analysis (ESPAnet) conference and the European Association of Labour Economists Conference. I will also organise an international conference at the end of the grant bringing together leading academics in the field of life chances and youth unemployment, policy makers and users from non-government agencies.

代际失业，即跨代失业的关联，是学术界、政界和公共领域越来越感兴趣的一个新的重要话题。这项研究非常符合ESRC在“一个公平而充满活力的社会”标题下的主要战略重点之一，特别是问“我们的社会是如何移动的的？'.代际失业是一种特别严重的代代相传的贫困现象。通过为广泛的国家提供第一个证据，该提案将使我们能够衡量在国际背景下，对于那些陷入劳动力市场底部的人来说，缺乏流动性是一个多大的问题。该项目的第一部分将首次对欧洲、美国、澳大利亚和加拿大的代际失业情况进行国际比较。这项工作将特别侧重于第二代进入劳动力市场的人，以评估代际因素是否可能导致最近青年失业率飙升。这项研究的第二部分将以此为基础，考虑当地劳动力市场、福利制度和教育制度在失业魔咒传播中的作用。更具体地说，它的目标是：1）询问代际关联是否因为某些国家的工作比其他国家多（失业率低）而出现，或者生活在一个没有工作的国家和有一个没有工作的父亲是否会带来额外的惩罚。3)审查教育系统如何为各国的青年人就业做好准备，以及这与代际失业模式的关系。该项目的目标是，通过尽可能利用各国和不同时期的差异，应对在确定这些因素对代际失业的影响方面所面临的明显的方法挑战。沿着产生新的和有价值的研究，我将利用这笔赠款学习各种新技能，使我成为一个研究领导者。我将利用现有的国际网络，计划前往哈佛大学、墨尔本大学和瑞典社会研究所，所有这些都得到这些机构的国际专家的支持。我将扩大我的方法论和福利和教育系统的知识，超越我目前的英国重点，参加培训课程，并从我的新网络学习。我还将通过领导第一次拨款，管理预算和管理初级研究员来获得管理技能。最后，我将通过与我所在部门的沟通团队合作来提高我的沟通技巧，为我的工作创造最大的曝光率。我在撰写高影响力的研究方面有着良好的记录，并将利用这些经验和联系来确保这项新工作得到广泛传播。我相信，这项研究的专题性质将使包括学者、决策者和从业人员在内的广泛受众对此感兴趣。我的目标是在领先的同行评审的学术期刊上发表这项研究，如欧洲社会政策杂志，人口学和欧洲经济协会杂志，并在一些国际会议上介绍我的工作，包括美国人口协会年会，年度欧洲社会政策分析网络（ESPAnet）会议和欧洲劳工经济学家协会会议。我还将在赠款结束时组织一次国际会议，汇集生活机会和青年失业领域的主要学者，政策制定者和非政府机构的用户。
