The second Health Inequalities Module in the European Social Survey (ESS)
Health-related exit from employment before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Norway
People with health problems experience various labor market disadvantages, such as hiring discrimination and heightened risk of firing, but the impact of deteriorating economic conditions on health-related labor market mobility remains poorly understood. The strength of the downturn/crisis will most likely make a difference. During minor downturns, when few employees are made redundant, health-related exit may occur frequently since employers pre…
Neurological conditions and subsequent divorce risk in the Nordic countries
BACKGROUND: Prior studies suggest that poor physical health, accompanied by functional disability, is associated with increased divorce risk. However, this association may depend on gender, the socioeconomic resources of the couple, as well as the social policy and social (in)equality context in which the illness is experienced. This study focuses on neurological conditions, which often have substantial functional consequences. METHODS: We used l…
Widening educational inequalities in mortality in more recent birth cohorts
BACKGROUND: Studies of period changes in educational inequalities in mortality have shown important changes over time. It is unknown whether a birth cohort perspective paints the same picture. We compared changes in inequalities in mortality between a period and cohort perspective and explored mortality trends among low-educated and high-educated birth cohorts. DATA AND METHODS: In 14 European countries, we collected and harmonised all-cause and …
Gendered health consequences of unemployment in Norway 2000–2017
This paper demonstrates that the health consequences of unemployment are serious, gendered, and enduring in Norway
Precariousness in Norway and Sweden
Precariousness in working life is a rising concern in Europe, but scant statistical evidence exists as to the prevalence and development of longstanding precarious employment. Using high-quality individual-level population-wide register data across several decades, this study addresses this issue in Norway and Sweden. Longstanding precarious attachment to the labour market was defined as low/marginal work income during eight years, with frequent …

Kva er arbeid – eigentleg? Cato Wadelog Sysselsettingsutvalet
I 1977 blei «Hva er arbeid? Noen refleksjoner om arbeid som aktivitet og begrep» publisert\ni volum 18 av Tidsskrift for samfunnsforskning. Artikkelen er ført i pennen av sosialantropologen Cato Wadel (f. 1936), og det er enkelt å forstå at teksten har fått status som ein klassikar. Mange av Wadel sine refleksjonar er både tankevekkande og samfunnsvitskapleg inspirerande, og det er tidvis vanskeleg å ta inn over seg at dette vart skrive for over …
Does social capital matter more when health status is poor? Labour market attachment among long-term recipients of social assistance in Norway
Long-term social assistance recipients are a disadvantaged group with loose labour market attachment, and they are therefore in dire need of an ‘alternative route’ into employment. Differing types of social capital (bonding, bridging, and trust) could improve job opportunities, and perhaps especially so for social assistance recipients with poor health. The current paper uses a linked survey-register data material on a cohort of Norwegian long-te…
Crowded out»? Relative forskjellerog relativt store tolkningsproblemer
«Immigration and Social Mobility», publisert som et såkalt Discussion Paper i oktober 2018 av tre forskere ved Frisch-senteret (Hoen, Markussen & Røed, 2018), hevder at innvandringen har ført til større ulikhet blant norskfødte.1 Konsekvensen av en økende innvandrerbefolkning skal være dårligere sjanser i arbeidslivet for barn av lavinntektsforeldre. Innvandringen «affects low-class natives by pushing some of them out of the labor market», står d…
Is it Easier to Be Unemployed When the Experience Is More Widely Shared? Effects of Unemployment on Self-rated Health in 25 European Countries with Diverging Macroeconomic Conditions
The economic crisis in Europe since 2008 has led to high unemployment levels in several countries. Previous research suggests that becoming unemployed is a health risk, but is job loss and unemployment easier to cope with when unemployment is widespread? Using EU-SILC panel data (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013), this study examines short-term effects of unemployment on self-rated health (SRH) in 25 European countries with diverging macroeconomic conditio…
Hiring, employment, and health in Scandinavia
Previous research has shown that people with health problems often experience disadvantages on the labour market. Can weak employment protection increase employment prospects for people with ill health? In order to investigate this question, the longitudinal part of the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data material is utilised (2008–2011) and generalised least squares regressions are estimated. The research con…
Are immigrants and descendants with ill health more prone to unemployment? Evidence from 18 European countries
Both minority status and ill health are associated with high unemployment probability in Europe. However, there does not seem to exist a 'double disadvantage' for immigrants and descendants with ill health, which is in line with a human capital perspective on how employers evaluate potential employees. Both a non-native-sounding name and bad health status are interpreted as a risk factor, but there is no reason to expect ill health to lower the p…
Tilsetjing og arbeidsløyse i Noreg og Danmark
Denne studien undersøker arbeidsmarknadstilknytinga til personar med helseproblem i Danmark og Noreg i ein periode med låg etterspurnad etter arbeidskraft.\nNoreg og Danmark deler mange karakteristikkar,\nmen stillingsvernet er vesentleg svakare i den danske «flexicurity»-modellen. Dette kan vere gunstig for personar med dårleg helse, fordi det er mindre risiko\nfor arbeidsgjevar ved å tilsetta nokon med eit negativt signal (dårleg helse, for eks…
Additive or Multiplicative Disadvantage? The Scarring Effects of Unemployment for Ethnic Minorities
Previous research has documented that unemployed job applicants have problems re-entering the labour market, commonly referred to as scarring effects of unemployment. Studies have also documented ethnic discrimination in the labour market. Yet, we do not know how these categories jointly shape employers hiring decisions. Thus, we do not know if unemployed minorities face an additive or a multiplicative disadvantage in hiring processes. Building o…
Unemployment and health selection in diverging economic conditions
The health composition of the unemployment population changes significantly for the better, but only in those European countries that have been severely hit by the current economic crisis
Unemployment in Scandinavia during an economic crisis

Det første forgreiningspunktet
Vidaregåande utdanningsval er det første forgreiningspunktet for norske elevar, og valet får ofte varige konsekvensar for deira framtidige utdannings- og yrkestileigning. Utdanningsvalprosessen er fortsatt ganske dårleg forstått, og denne studien forsøker å bidra med meir kunnskap om dette viktige punktet i ungdommars liv. Datamaterialet består av ei spørjeskjemaundersøking som vart gjennomført av 10. klasseelevar i kommunane Etne og Vindafjord, …
