Feelings of dual-insecurity among European workers: A multi-level analysis
利用22国欧洲社会调查数据，分析工人对就业和收入的双重不安全感与国家灵活保障政策的关系，发现国家富裕程度比社会政策更能降低不安全感，但富裕与政策努力高度相关。
This article analyses European Social Survey data for 22 countries. We assess the relationship between feelings of employment and income insecurity (dual-insecurity) among workers and national flexicurity policies in the areas of lifelong learning, active labour market policy, modern social security systems and flexible and reliable contractual arrangements. We find that dual-insecurity feelings are lower in countries that score better on most flexicurity polices, but these effects are in all cases outweighed by levels of GDP per capita. Thus feelings of insecurity are reduced more by the affluence of a country than by its social policies. However, affluence is strongly correlated with the policy efforts designed to reduce insecurity, especially active labour market policies and lifelong learning, two policy areas that are threatened with cuts as a result of austerity.
