1 European youth labour market in crisis: Does the deregulation of employment protection help? 3 rd European User Conference for EU-LFS and EU-SILC Mannheim, March 213 Michael Gebel (University of Mannheim and MZES, Germany) and Johannes Giesecke (University of Bamberg, Germany)
2 1. Motivation Flexibilization of youth labour markets in Europe Besides macroeconomic conditions institutional factors such as EPL identified as the root of youths problems (Breen 25, Mills/Blossfeld 23) Targeted partial deregulation of EPL: aimed at increasing youths labour market integration chances (Esping-Andersen/Regini 2) Doubts on the effectiveness of the EPL reforms occurred: Central research questions: Did EPL reforms reduce youth unemployment? Or, did they only increase social inequality in terms of widespread temporary employment among outsiders (e.g. youths)? (DiPrete et al. 26, McGinnity/Gash ) 2
3 1. Motivation Existing empirical evidence cross-sectional studies of EPL effect on youth unemployment (Gangl 23; Breen 25) and youth temporary employment (Kahn, Baranowska/Gebel 21) Studies on EPL reform effects using the within-country variation in order to eliminate spurious correlations (Kahn 21, Gebel/Giesecke 211, Noelke 212) Our contribution 3-level approach to identify EPL effects using EULFS 21: individual, country, time effects of EPL indicators on youths exclusion risk (non-employment rate NEET ) (EUROFOUND 212) and inequality risks (temporary employment rate) testing for effect heterogeneity: Do the EPL effects differ? 3

10 4. Research design Data: European Labour Force Survey 21 + German Mikrozensus Western European countries (+7 Eastern European countries) Sample: labour market entrants (being not in ) - age group for those with primary or secondary - age group 2-29 for those with tertiary Design: multilevel model (3 levels: country, time, individual) two-step procedure instead of simultaneous maximum likelihood procedure (Franzese 25, Jusko/Shively 25) 1
11 4. Research design Micro level ( 1 st step ) Mean estimation of non-employment (ILO-based definition) and temporary employment incidence (EUROSTAT definition) separately for each country for each year Permanent contract Employed/self-employed Unemployed/inactive ( NEET ) Temporary contract Self-employed In Stratification by 2 gender (men vs. women) and 3 ISCED-based groups (low vs. medium vs. high ) 6 labour market entrants subgroups 11
12 4. Research design Macro level ( 2 nd step ) Pooled time series cross section analysis using the shares of non-employment and temporary employment from 1. step Fixed effects models Procedure to correct for uncertainty of 1st step estimation: EDV ˆ pjt p q Q 1 pq Z qjt pjt Q independent macrovariables Z: - time-varying EPL indices for permanent and temporary employment (OECD 212) - collective bargaining coverage (Visser 211) - GDP share of ALMP (OECD 212) - youth cohort size (Eurostat 212) - GDP growth (Eurostat 212) - KOF economic globalization index (Dreher et al. 28) 12

29 7. Conclusions No general trend towards increasing non-employment ( exclusion ) and temporary employment ( inequality ) for youths Deregulating the use of temporary contracts increases youth temporary employment risks but does NOT reduce non-employment risks Surprisingly consistent findings across and gender subgroups + CEE + institutional settings Regulated labour markets: Mitigation of negative effects of crisis (at the beginning) Strenght of EULFS data: potential for three-level design (individuals, time, countries) Limitation of EULFS data: limited data at individual level in past, no micro-dynamics 29
