This study examines whether and how human capital investments differ between solo self-employed workers and employees, and how training is associated with individuals’ work engagement and their self-assessed prospects for career advancement. We analyze data from the sixth European Working Conditions Survey (2015). The results show that whereas employees on temporary contracts relatively often report that they are in need of further training, solo self-employed workers have the skills to deal with more demanding duties. Although solo self-employed workers more frequently participate in substantial self-financed training, in general, both the solo self-employed and employees on temporary contracts stay significantly behind in their participation in training activities compared to employees with permanent contracts. We conclude that for workers with permanent contracts training has a positive relationship with both work engagement and their perceived prospects for career advancement. For those on temporary contracts and the solo self-employed, human capital investments seem to have more of a ‘transactional’ function and to contribute, mainly, to how they assess their prospects.","PeriodicalId":308261,"journal":{"name":"Investments in a Sustainable Workforce in Europe","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117125504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We advance the literature on the labor market consequences of technological change by focusing on the impact within workplaces where it is implemented, rather than making inferences from aggregate labor structural changes. We use large-scale Dutch matched employer–employee panel data to directly measure technology implementation within over 37,000 enterprises during the period 2000–2014. We find that the implementation of technology is associated with a decrease in the proportion of lower educated workers in enterprise workforces, and an increase in the proportion of middle educated workers. Interestingly, we find the proportion of workers aged 50+ increases with the implementation of technology, while the proportion of workers aged below 30 decreases. These changes seem to result from changes in the educational and age composition of enterprise entrants, rather than from changes in enterprise leavers.","PeriodicalId":308261,"journal":{"name":"Investments in a Sustainable Workforce in Europe","volume":"2021 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128079287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, many people who could benefit from these policies do not use them, and little is known about why people do or do not use work–family policies. Some studies have suggested that organizations restrain or encourage people’s use of these policies, yet no large-scale quantitative studies exist. This chapter examines how organizations relate to the utilization of a specific work–family policy: parental leave. We combine two ways of looking at organizations: the family-supportiveness of the organizational culture and by treating them as actors that make strategic choices to invest in policies, which are influenced by organizational characteristics such as size, public ownership, or the proportion of women employed. The results indicate that organizations play a less important role than expected – only the size of an organization was shown to relate to parental leave use. Rather, national differences explain most variations in parental leave use. Organizations do, however, play a role in the utilization decisions of men, but not women, suggesting that while women are expected to use parental leave, men base the extent of their involvement at home partly on pressures from the workplace organizational context.","PeriodicalId":308261,"journal":{"name":"Investments in a Sustainable Workforce in Europe","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130747287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
