Refugee Women, Family Status and Finding a First Job in the Netherlands
This study examines the role played by family status in the early labour market participation of refugee women in the Netherlands. Securing a first paid job is crucial for achieving financial independence, building human and social capital and enhancing future employment opportunities. Using Dutch register data and event history analysis, we investigate the transition to paid employment among refugee women. These data enable us to study the entir…

Mobility and labor market trajectories of Ukrainian migrants to Poland in the context of the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine
The 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted, among other things, in a dramatic increase in Ukrainian emigration to Europe, particularly to Poland.The article evaluates its consequences, by confronting trajectories of pre-and post-2014 war male and female Ukrainian migrants to Poland.The comparisons combine mobility and migrants' labor market paths linked to employment sectors.On data from surveys conducted in two Polish cities -Warsaw and Wroca…
What Role Do Occupational Differences Play in Subjective Working Conditions Throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic
Evidence on the role of occupational differences in subjective working conditions during the pandemic is limited. However, an understanding of how such inequalities develop throughout the pandemic is needed to prevent an overall worsening of social inequality in society. We study occupational inequalities in subjective working conditions-work pressure and work-life balance-throughout the pandemic. We use four waves of the representative, probabil…
Employment and work intentions of refugee women. Evidence on Syrians in the Netherlands
This study examines the employment and work intentions of Syrian refugee women in the Netherlands. While earlier studies showed that refugee women have dramatically low labor force participation rates, it remains poorly understood why this is the case. In this study, we provide new insights, using large-scale, nationally representative data on Syrian refugee women in the Netherlands. Our analyses provide evidence to suggest that beyond human capi…
The labour market participation of persons with disabilities and related policies
This study provides a comparative analysis of policies related to the labour market position of persons with disabilities in Finland and Italy, countries with a relatively small employment gap between persons with and without disabilities. This research examining policies improving the labour market position of persons with disabilities was based on existing literature and expert interviews. The comparative analysis shows that these countries emp…
The influence of the Covid‐19 pandemic on changes in perceived work pressure for Dutch mothers and fathers
As a result of the first COVID-19 lockdown in the Netherlands in March 2020, more than half of parents in the Netherlands had to work from home while also caring for their children. We found that work-related stressors and resources (working more hours, realistic manager expectations) particularly affect perceived work pressure. Perceived work pressure was higher among egalitarian fathers and mothers, especially compared to traditional fathers an…
The disability employment gap in European countries
Across Europe, the labour market participation of persons with disabilities remains lower than that of persons without a disability. Our research examines this disability employment gap, looking specifically at its variation by country and gender. Additionally, we test the influence of labour market policies – testing both the social investment perspective and the welfare scepticism perspective – on the size of the gap, in an effort to determine …
‘Intelligent’ lockdown, intelligent effects? Results from a survey on gender (in)equality in paid work, the division of childcare and household work, and quality of life among parents in the Netherlan…
Objective The COVID-19 pandemic is more than a public health crisis. Lockdown measures have substantial societal effects, including a significant impact on parents with (young) children. Given the existence of persistent gender inequality prior to the pandemic, particularly among parents, it is crucial to study the societal impact of COVID-19 from a gender perspective. The objective of this paper is to use representative survey data gathered amon…

Perceived Migrant Threat among Migrants in Europe
This research presents a new perspective on migrant integration. It questions the extent that established migrants perceive threats from new migrants, and how that is influenced by natives’ perceived migrant threat. We hypothesized about an acculturation pattern that established migrants will be more similar to the host country’s dominant public opinion in their migrant threat perceptions than more recent migrants. Furthermore, we examined to wha…
