Part-Time Workers’ Employment Trajectories by Length of Hours and Reason for Working Part-Time: An 8-Year Follow-Up Study
Using the Finnish Labour Force Surveys merged with register-based follow-up data, we analyzed how different characteristics of part-time work predict employees’ and entrepreneurs’ employment trajectories in an 8-year follow-up. We analyzed careers by the length of weekly working hours and the reason for part-time work, that is, childcare, studies, health, part-time pension, other voluntary choice, or if full-time work was not available (involunta…
Teenage Time Use and Educational Attainment in Adulthood in Finland
We investigated the role of teenage everyday social ties in educational outcomes by examining the association between teenage time use and educational attainment in adulthood. The sample consisted of young people aged 10-18 from the 1979 Finnish Time Use Survey, and the same respondents' educational attainment later in life recorded from population register data at the year of 40th birthday (n = 366 men and 393 women). We assessed the association…
Career stability in turbulent times: A cross-cohort study of mid-careers in Finland
In this article, we investigate whether the mid-career stability of Finnish men and women has changed for the birth cohorts 1958 to 1972 and, if so, what the driving forces are behind such changes. We analyse career stability during a 15-year period following the age of 30 using 'career turbulence' indicators. To identify the impact of cyclical and structural changes in the labour market, we analyse the association between initial employment stat…
Mobile knowledge workers and traditional mobile workers: Assessing the prevalence of multi-locational work in Europe
This article contributes to the discussion on flexible working by assessing empirically the prevalence of mobile, multi-locational work in Europe (EU-28, Norway and Switzerland). Drawing on data from the Sixth European Working Conditions Survey, the prevalence of multi-locational work across Europe is examined in terms of the knowledge intensity of the work. Knowledge-intensive occupations are characterised by a high level of individual skills, t…
The Millennial Generation: A New Breed of Labour
This article puts to the test the notion that younger generations, most notably the Millennials, value work less than older generations do. The analysis, deploying a linear probability model, is based on Statistics Finland's Quality of Work Life Surveys, 1984 to 2013. Focusing on labour market entrants aged 15 to 29, we address two main themes: the value given to work, leisure and family life, and work commitment. Regardless of age, the value giv…
Informal overtime at home instead of telework: Increase in negative work-family interface
Purpose – The authors aim to compare how formal flexibility, such as telework, differs from informal overtime work at home regarding the work-family interface. Design/methodology/approach – By using data from the Finnish Quality of Work Life Surveys from 2003 and 2008, the positive and negative measures concerning the work-family interface are examined through logistic regression analysis. Findings – Employees doing informal overtime at home are …
Work at home and time use in Finland: Home-based work in Finland
This study examines the relationship between home-based work (HBW) and time use by comparing unpaid (overtime) home workers, paid (agreed) home workers and non-home workers. Especially, unpaid HBW was linked to the stretching of working hours and the reduction of free time
