The dynamics of labour market participation, unemployment and non participation in Great Britain, Germany and Sweden : similarities, differences and changes over time
Erwerbsverläufe in Deutschland, Großbritannien und Schweden : Ähnlichkeiten, Unterschiede und Veränderungen über die Zeit
This paper aims to provide a descriptive analysis of the changing patterns of labour market participation, non-participation and unemployment in Great Britain, Sweden and Germany. Since the mid 1970s, most European countries have experienced two parallel developments: on the one hand they have witnessed a huge growth in the proportion of women participating on the labour market. On the other however, they have experienced the return of mass unemployment and a growing insecurity of employment for those in work. In this paper, a typology of work histories is constructed using decade periods. Retrospective and panel data from Germany, Britain and Sweden are then used to compare the effects of different employment and welfare regimes on the proportions of respondents with different types of work histories and how these are combined with unemployment.
