    Dual-Parent Joblessness, Household Work and Its Moderating Role on Children's Joblessness as Young Adults
    Mooi-Reci, I ; Craig, L (SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2020-01-10)
    Using data from the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, we examine whether living in jobless families where parents devote more time to household work shields children against their own joblessness in the future. We draw on a representative sample of young adults who were aged between 4 and 17 years in 2001 and lived with both parents through to 2007 (N = 1,852). A series of mixed-effect regression models suggest that dual-parent joblessness is associated with an increase in families’ overall household production...

    The cumulative disadvantage of unemployment: Longitudinal evidence across gender and age at first unemployment in Germany
    Manzoni, A ; Mooi-Reci, I ; Tumen, S (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2020-06-24)
    Unemployment is an important predictor of one’s future employment success. Yet, much about the endurance of unemployment effects on workers’ careers remains poorly understood. Our study complements this knowledge gap by examining the rate of recovery in the quality of careers following an unemployment spell among a representative sample of previously unemployed workers with different socio-demographic characteristics in Germany. We apply a new dynamic measure that quantifies the quality of binary sequences, distinguishing between “good” (i.e., employment) from “bad” labor force status activities (i.e., unemployment and inactivity). We use longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) before the Great Financial Recession over the period 1984–2005 and deploy a series of hybrid models that control for unobserved heterogeneity. We find a non-linear recovery process after unemployment across gender and age groups. That is, after a period of recovery, career quality worsens. Least impacted are men experiencing unemployment when aged between 25–34 years, while men 55–66 have rather stable, though stronger, penalties. Furthermore, we find that recovery processes are contingent upon when respondents experience unemployment.

    Intergenerational Mobility Research: Current Challenges and Future Directions
    Mooi-Reci, I (Wiley, 2020-05-31)
    This article discusses major challenges facing intergenerational mobility research in three main domains: (i) the (dis)connection between theory and empirical applications; (ii) data gaps; (iii) measurement concerns. In doing so, it highlights theoretical and empirical extensions to better describe, explain, and predict complex intergenerational transmission processes in the light of new and rapid administrative data linkages, more mature survey data and other forms of big data. The article concludes with future directions for research.
