The impact of labor market insecurity on mental health among immigrants in Europe

Ahlinder, Isak January 2017 (has links)
The impact of labor market insecurity on immigrants’ mental health is understudied. This current study investigated whether labor market insecurity, as measured by different employment arrangements, has detrimental impact on immigrants’ depression, and if so, how it compares to the role of unemployment. Furthermore, this study investigated whether labor market insecurity had more detrimental impact on immigrants than non-immigrants. To do so, data from seventh wave of European Social Survey (2014/2015) was divided into three separate immigrant groups; first-generation immigrants, second-generation immigrants and non-immigrants. The results shows that labor market insecurity among immigrants had detrimental impact on mental health. The effects were not restricted to the first- generation immigrants’ mental health, they could also be observed in the second-generation immigrants and among non-immigrants. The results presented in this thesis show that not only unemployment, but also insecure employment arrangement have negative impact on mental health, both among immigrants and non-immigrants.

Mitt arbete blev tilldelat : En sociologisk studie av hur osäkra anställningar påverkar de anställdas vardagsliv

Bergvall, Emma, Backerling, Minna January 2018 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate young adult workers' experience of having an insecure employment and whether it affects the employee's ability to establish themselves in society. The study is based on six qualitative interviews with young adults between the age of 20–30 years old. The young adult had a part time or temporary employment. These types of employment are classified as insecure employment in this study. The employee´s have harder to plan their future, privacy, working life and economics. The data material has been analyzed using different theoretical perspectives. These are flexible labor markets, precarious employment, shame model and self-identity theory. The results of the study show that insecure employment affects young adult workers in their daily lives and working life. The form of employment has shown in the interviewees that it affects the mental health by experience stress and concern for the future. The stress is primarily based on the planning of everyday life. We could see that well-being at the workplace was an important part of the interviewer's experience of good working conditions. Other consequences of insecure employment is that the economy becomes unpredictable as the workings days are in many case only short term planned without a promise of extended employment. There were also some positive effects of having an insecure employment. These positive consequences are not as obvious as the negative ones. / Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka unga vuxna arbetstagares upplevelser av att inneha en osäker anställning och om det påverkar arbetstagarens möjligheter att etablera sig i samhället. Studien är kvalitativ och det har gjorts sex intervjuer med unga vuxna arbetstagare i åldern 20-30 år. De unga vuxna arbetstagarna ska ha en tidsbegränsad anställning i form av vikariatsanställning, deltidsanställning eller tidsbegränsad anställning. I denna studie har vi utgått ifrån att dessa anställningsformer är osäkra anställningar eftersom arbetstagarna har svårare att planera sin framtid och ekonomi samt sitt privatliv och arbetsliv. Datamaterialet har analyserats med hjälp av olika teoretiska perspektiv. Dessa är flexibel arbetsmarknad, prekär anställning, skam-modellen samt självidentitetsteori. Studiens slutsats är att osäkra anställningar påverkar unga vuxna arbetstagare i deras vardagsliv samt arbetsliv. Anställningsformen har visat sig påverka intervjupersonernas psykiska hälsa där de upplever stress och oro inför framtiden. Stressen grundar sig främst i svårigheten att planera vardagslivet. Vi kunde se att trivsel på arbetsplatsen var en viktig del för att intervjupersonen skulle må väl och vilja stanna kvar längre trots anställningsformen. Andra konsekvenser av att ha en osäker anställning är att ekonomin blir oförutsägbar eftersom arbetstagaren inte vet hur många timmar hen får ihop eller om anställningen kommer att förnyas. Det fanns även spår av positiva effekter av att inneha en osäker anställning. Dessa positiva konsekvenser framkommer dock inte lika tydligt som de negativa.
