TY - JOUR A1 - Fritsch, Nina-Sophie A1 - Liedl, Bernd A1 - Paulinger, Gerhard T1 - Horizontal and vertical labour market movements in Austria BT - do occupational transitions take women across gendered lines? JF - Current Sociology N2 - The gendered division of occupations is a persistent characteristic of the Austrian labour market. Furthermore, we can observe more flexible employment biographies, where sequential employment episodes and occupational transitions become an important part. On this account, the article argues that both gender inequalities and labour market movements need to be examined simultaneously. The authors therefore analyse gender-(un)typed horizontal occupational transitions and their influence on the vertical positioning, based on the Austrian Micro Census (2008–2018). The results reveal that gender-typed occupational transitions are regaining relevance and that the gender effect is reversing in that women increasingly leave gender-untyped occupations. The findings also demonstrate that this gender-typed horizontal movement yields a significant decline in occupational status for women, which even increases when women become mothers. Based on their models the authors find no negative effects for fathers.

CY - London ER - TY - GEN A1 - Deimer, Klaus T1 - Niedriglohn und soziale Sicherung T1 - Low wages and social insurance N2 - In the need to reform the German labour market, the so-called ‚Hartz IV’- Act cut down subsidies for unemployed people in order to increase the pressure for searching for a new job. By law, low-paid jobs shall be introduced. However, even if this creates employment, there will be a future problem: pensions for these people will dramatically drop below the poverty line. The author argues that, in order to avoid such ‘poverty-traps’, an alternative social support system should be considered: a ‘tax transfer system’ with lowered income tax, yet complete reduction of legal exceptions on the one hand, and transfer systems combined with work incentives on the other hand.

Through a large, informal coalition, the political parties have responded to various internal conflict constellations.

By the example of the EQUAL-Project „INCLUSION - Integration-Network for Migrants in the Federal State of Brandenburg“, this article critically examines what results such projects can achieve. Following ADAPT and EMPLOYMENT, the initiative EQUAL started in 2001 with the stated mission to promote social integration in working life through fighting against discrimination and exclusion.

T1 - The EU employment strategy : Effective and democratic? N2 - The European Employment Strategy (EES) belongs to the European Union’s „softer“, legally non-binding policy instruments. Many politicians and academics associated its introduction with the expectation for a strengthening of the EU’s social dimension and democratic quality. This article examines whether, so far, the EES can be regarded as effective and legitimate. To illustrate this, the author briefly examines the role of the EES for the development of labour market policy in Germany and the UK.
