Abstract
Involuntary job loss has been shown to be associated with a variety of adverse outcomes, such as lower wages, poorer health, or greater divorce risks (Arulampalam 2001; Hansen 2005; also see Chap. 17). It is thus considered as a serious life-disrupting event which may affect – in different ways – labour market entrants as well as older workers (Breen 2005; Henkens et al. 1996).
