The Embodiment of Precarious Employment
Network of Categories
We propose a new method for analyzing and visualizing information on a large collection of personal networks to uncover the socio-centric structure of relationships among aggregated actors that we clustered into categories. The network of categories identifies the links between groups of sampled ego actors sharing a given attribute (e.g., "being immigrant organizations") and abstract attribute-based groups or types of alters (e.g., "any immigrant…
Experiences of insecurity among non-standard workers across different welfare states
Association between Precarious Employment and Chronic Stress
Precarious employment has been highlighted as a social determinant of health, given, among others, to its alleged association with chronic stress. However, few studies have been conducted analyzing such association, using both perceived stress indicators and biological markers. Accordingly, the present study analyzed the association of multidimensional (6 dimensions) precarious employment scale with perceived stress and 23 markers of adrenal and …
Precarious Employment and Chronic Stress
Precarious employment has been identified as a potentially damaging stressor. Conversely, social support networks have a well-known protective effect on health and well-being. The ways in which precariousness and social support may interact have scarcely been studied with respect to either perceived stress or objective stress biomarkers. This research aims to fill this gap by means of a cross-sectional study based on a non-probability quota sampl…
Disentangling youth non-compliance with Covid-19 restrictions from gender, socioeconomic vulnerability and poor mental health
The COVID-19 pandemic focused public attention on youth non-compliance with restrictions, but the social and health factors underpinning this behaviour were overlooked. Hereby, we considered the complex relationships between age (16–29 vs. 30+), non-compliance, socioeconomic vulnerabilities and poor mental health using a gender perspective. Data were derived from the ‘Survey on the impact of COVID-19’, fielded on 11–15 April 2020 in Catalonia. In…
Precarious Employment and Stress
The PRESSED project aims to explain the links between a multidimensional measure of precarious employment and stress and health. Studies on social epidemiology have found a clear positive association between precarious employment and health, but the pathways and mechanisms to explain such a relationship are not well-understood. This project aims to fill this gap from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating the social and biomedical standpoi…

Social capital, human capital and ethnic occupational niches
This article analyses the role of different types of social capital in the integration of immigrants into the labour market of Catalonia (Spain), according to the geographical distribution and ethnic characteristics of immigrants’ contacts. It aims to test the role of social networks, human capital and the ethno-stratification of the labour market in immigrants’ labour market performance; and to contribute to understanding the often overlooked bu…

The Downward Spiral of Youth Unemployment
Taking as a starting point the relationship between unemployment and the loss of social support put forward by social exclusion theory, this article aims to analyse how long-term unemployment affects young people's support networks for job seeking. To do so, it uses the framework of social network analysis. Based on data produced by a personal network survey of 250 young individuals in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, the results highlight the…
Personal Networks and Participation
The objective of this article is to study the role of configurations of immigrants’ personal network on their civic participation. It puts forward a theoretical framework to explain immigrants’ civic participation and traces empirically the mechanisms by which transnational and local networks demotivate or encourage different types of participation. The analysis is based on a sequential mixed-methods research design that combines a personal netwo…
Network cohesion and social support
Just a question of time? The composition and evolution of immigrants' personal networks in Catalonia
This article analyses the composition and evolution of migrants' personal networks during their settlement process. Migration studies have emphasized the relational dimension of the migration process, but the topic has rarely been analysed systematically using social network analysis. Based on ego-network analysis and interviews with Ecuadorian and Moroccan immigrants in Catalonia, this article shows the diversity of configurations of migrants' p…
The structure of global centrality measures
The aim of this article is to identify and analyse the logic and structure of centrality measures applied to social networks. On the basis of the article by Borgatti and Everett, identifying the latent functions of centrality, we first use a survey of personal networks with 450 cases to perform an empirical study of the differences and correspondences between degree, closeness and betweenness centrality in personal networks. Then, we examine the …
Aplicaciones de los métodos mixtos al análisis de las redes personales de la población inmigrada
This article shows the bene!ts of the use of mixed methods in social network analysis. Firstly, it reviews the use of mixed methods in this particular !eld, indentifying the different objectives and designs used for the combination of methods. Secondly, the potential of mixed methods is exempli!ed through an empirical research that analyzes the impact of participation in associations on personal networks and on the integration process of migrant …
El análisis de la Cohesión, Vinculación e Integración sociales en las encuestas EgoNet
El objetivo de este artículo consiste en mostrar algunas de las posibilidades de análisis que ofrecen las redes Ego-centradas en lo que se refiere a la Cohesión, Vinculación e Integración social. El artículo indaga en ellas haciendo una propuesta de operativización de dichos conceptos y de análisis a partir de un caso de aplicación. Los datos empleados en los ejemplos ilustrativos de los conceptos provienen de una encuesta de redes Ego-centradas …
