“…In addition, Christoffersen (1994) finds that at age 25, children of long term unemployed parents are more likely to have vocational training, being unemployed and to suffer from psychological problems than peers whose parents were not long term unemployed during their childhood. Also, Pedersen et al (2005), using survey data from the Nordic countries, find that children in families with at least one parent without paid work fare worse when it comes to chronic illnesses and psychosomatic symptoms, but are not prescribed more medicine.…”

IFAU's objective is to promote, support and carry out scientific evaluations. The assignment includes: the effects of labour market and educational policies, studies of the functioning of the labour market and the labour market effects of social insurance policies. IFAU shall also disseminate its results so that they become accessible to different interested parties in Sweden and abroad.IFAU also provides funding for research projects within its areas of interest. The deadline for applications is October 1 each year. Since the researchers at IFAU are mainly economists, researchers from other disciplines are encouraged to apply for funding.IFAU is run by a Director-General. The institute has a scientific council, consisting of a chairman, the Director-General and five other members. Among other things, the scientific council proposes a decision for the allocation of research grants. A reference group including representatives for employer organizations and trade unions, as well as the ministries and authorities concerned is also connected to the institute. Papers published in the Working Paper Series should, according to the IFAU policy, have been discussed at seminars held at IFAU and at least one other academic forum, and have been read by one external and one internal referee. They need not, however, have undergone the standard scrutiny for publication in a scientific journal. The purpose of the Working Paper Series is to provide a factual basis for public policy and the public policy discussion. AbstractWe analyze to what extent health outcomes of Swedish children are worse among children whose parents become unemployed. To this end we combine Swedish hospitalization data for 1992-2007 for ch...

“…Un lien entre précarité professionnelle des parents et moins bons résultats scolaires obtenus par les enfants a été démontré (Duée, 2004;Bruniaux, Galtier, 2003;Dronkers, 1994;Christoffersen, 1994) : les enfants issus de familles pauvres réussissent moins bien que les autres. Leurs résultats sont inférieurs à l'école et sur le marché du travail, même si la mobilité intergénérationnelle est élevée.…”

Depuis les enquêtes de Lazarsfeld dans les années 1930, de nombreux scientifiques ont mis en évidence les conséquences économiques, psychiques et relationnelles qu’engendre une expérience de chômage. Mais plus rares sont les études consacrées au devenir des enfants. Pourtant, la crise qui affecte les pays occidentaux depuis la moitié des années 1970 n’est pas sans poser la question de la transmission des cadres normatifs dans un contexte familial de chômage de très longue durée. À travers l’analyse d’entretiens croisés au sein de familles, cet article va tenter de démêler les fils complexes des logiques de transmission générationnelle dans un tel contexte de déstructuration du rapport au travail et à l’emploi. Deux clés interprétatives permettront de mieux cerner les enjeux personnels, familiaux et sociaux d’une crise qui perdure : la présence ou non d’une souffrance parentale et la possibilité pour le jeune de nouer des rapports de confiance interpersonnels.

JT00144631 DIRECTORATE FOR EMPLOYMENT, LABOUR AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS OECD SOCIAL, EMPLOYMENT AND MIGRATION WORKING PAPERSThis series is designed to make available to a wider readership selected labour market, social policy and migration studies prepared for use within the OECD. Authorship is usually collective, but principal writers are named. The papers are generally available only in their original language -English or French -with a summary in the other. 1.Child development and child well-being are major concerns in many OECD countries and are the subject of ongoing work at the OECD. These concerns have led to a search for policies to offset poverty, deprivation, vulnerability, and the risk factors that can trigger a lifelong cycle of disadvantage. It is in this context that we carried out a review of the research literature on child outcomes and of the different social policies that may affect them. The paper is organized in four parts: (1) a summary of child outcomes of concern in various OECD countries; (2) a discussion of one particular outcome, child poverty, and its negative consequences for children; (3) a summary of the research linking different family types with different outcomes; and (4) the social policies that may lead to different positive and negative outcomes. 2.Our main conclusions from this literature review is that knowledge-building is proceeding, in particular, with regard to child poverty and the policies that can reduce or eliminate this problem. Going beyond poverty, early childhood education and care services have positive consequences for children, especially children aged 2 or 3 to compulsory school entry, which can reduce early disadvantage. And oneparent family status and parental unemployment seem to have negative consequences for children, but there is less research addressing these associations. Large and important gaps in the research continue to exist, especially with regard to comparative studies of child welfare (child protection; foster care; adoption) and the prevention of child maltreatment, and studies of the situation of children of immigrants and ethnic and racial minorities. DELSA/ELSA/WD/SEM(2003)64 RESUME Le développement de l'enfant et son bien-être constituent, dans bon nombre de pays de l'OCDE, d'importantes préoccupations qui font l'objet de travaux suivis à l'Organisation. Le souci d'y répondre a conduit à rechercher des moyens d'action qui permettent de compenser les effets de la pauvreté, du dénuement et de la vulnérabilité, et de parer aux facteurs de risque qui peuvent fait de la vie entière une succession de difficultés. C'est dans cette optique que nous avons passé en revue les études consacrées au devenir des enfants et aux différentes politiques sociales qui peuvent influer sur lui. Ce document comprend quatre parties : (1) récapitulatif des sujets de préoccupation concernant le devenir des enfants dans différents pays de l'OCDE ; (2) examen d'une situation particulière, la pauvreté chez les enfants, et des conséquences négatives qu'elle a pour eux ; (3)...
