Determinants of job insecurity in five European countries

Muñoz de Bustillo Llorente, Rafael

Determinants of job insecurity in five European countries created by Rafael Muñoz de Bustillo and Pablo de Pedraza - European journal of industrial relations Volume 16, number 1 .

This article studies the determinants of subjective job insecurity in five European countries (Belgium, Finland, Germany, Spain and The Netherlands), using data from the WageIndicator web survey. The impact of different variables is estimated using logistic regression.The analysis shows that differences in subjective job insecurity of women are explained by their objective situation in the labour market. In contrast, subjective insecurity increases with age; education reduces job insecurity, as do wages, except at very high wage levels; having a temporary — but not — a part-time — contract contributes to insecurity, which points to the different nature of the two types of contract.
