?:abstract
  • The aim of the current paper was to investigate the moderating role of both objective and subjective country-level social (income) inequality on the relationship between employment status and well-being. The focus was on young Europeans (aged 16–29) and a multilevel perspective with individuals nested within 28 countries was adopted. Based on conservation of resources theory, the central hypothesis was that labor market (LM) insecurity will be particularly detrimental for young Europeans’ well-being in countries characterized by high (vs. low) inequality. The results showed that unfavorable LM positions indeed impair young Europeans cognitive (i.e., life satisfaction) and affective (i.e., negative affect) well-being. We found support for the moderating role of both objective (i.e. the income share held by the lowest 10% of the country) and perceived social inequality on the relationship between employment status and life satisfaction. Namely, the negative relationship between unfavorable LM conditions (and particularly job insecurity) and youth well-being tended to be weaker or nonexistent in more equal societies. Our findings highlight the important role of social (income) inequality, both objective and perceived, in understanding the conditions under which unemployment and job insecurity may be particularly detrimental for young individuals’ well-being.
