PNR 60 Professional aspirations and orientations of girls and boys towards the end of compulsory school: what determinants for more equality? Financed by the National Research Programme "Gender Equality" (NRP 60) of the SNF
2010 - 2013 (36 mois)
Applicant : Dominique Joye
Other partners : Jacques-Antoine Gauthier, Lavinia Gianettoni, Carolilna Carvalho Arruda, Dinah Gross, Edith Guilley, Elisabeth Isaeiva Moubarak Nahra, Karin Müller
In Switzerland, the professional aspirations of girls and boys are still gender related: they are oriented according to the idea that there are male and female occupations. This research project is based on a survey among pupils in secondary schools, their parents and their teachers, and on semi-structured interviews with careers guidance counsellors and other professionals of occupational orientation. The aim is to determine the different causes of these differences - which contribute to the (re)production of gender inequalities - in order to better identify effective tools to prevent it.
Our main hypothesis is that institutional - social capital and the education system, for example - along with psychosocial factors work together in the reproduction of sexual roles and identities, and contribute, in turn, to the « sexual division of occupational orientation ».

Family trajectories and social networks: a configurational perspective of the life course
The Family tiMes survey (www.unil.ch/times) focuses on important changes, but also on continuities that are specific to family, relational and occupational life courses of individuals belonging to the birth cohorts of 1950-1955 and 1970-1975. For each respective cohort, a sample of 400 individuals, representative of the Swiss residential population, has been interviewed. Ego-network and sequence analysis will be employed. This study has been developed in collaboration with Karin Wall and colleagues from the University of Lisbon. The same research design has been applied to a comparable population in Portugal in 2010 and will allow international comparisons.

REPRO Employment uncertainty, fertility intentions and transition to parenthood
2009 - 2011 (18 mois)
Applicant : Laura Bernardi
Other partners : Doris Hanappi, Valérie-Anne Ryser, Jean-Marie Le Goff
Employment and fertility intentions are fundamental mechanisms in the social fabric, and the relationship between them can have profound, long-term effects on a variety of institutions, including the education system, the family (childrearing, care for the elderly), and the labor market itself. In postindustrial societies, empirical evidence shows that there is a strong association between employment uncertainty and the formation and realization of fertility intentions, but this has not yet been systematically examined in the Swiss context. In this project, we examine the impact of precariousness as manifestation of such uncertainty on fertility intentions, drawing on panel data (e.g. Swiss Household Panel data). We are especially interested in the age and gender-specific effects of multiple, combined indicators of precariousness on stability or change of intentions. Our research links the study of fertility intentions and their realization to the precariousness debate paralleling recent labor market reforms, and thereby advances knowledge about the demographic response to market flexibilization and economic turbulence. Methodologically, it advances the modeling of employment uncertainty to gain a more differentiated understanding of its effects on reproductive decision-making.

Gendring the Academy and Research:combating Career Instability and Asymmetries
2014 - 2017 (36 mois)

Other partners : Sabine Kradolfer, Farinaz Fassa, Gaële Goastellec, Maria De Rio Carral, Michaël Posse
The GARCIA Project is concerned with the implementation of actions in European Universities and research centres to promote a gender culture and combat gender stereotypes and discriminations. The project runs from February 2014 to January 2017.
By taking into account the involved organisations, but also their broader national context, this project aims to develop and maintain research potential and skills of both, women and men researchers, in order to sustain the quality of their working conditions.
Particular attention is given to the early stages of academic and scientific career. The project focuses on both, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) disciplines to assure that the aim of transforming academia and research towards a more gender equal environment can be extended to all levels of the institution by putting into practice the best systemic organisational approaches.
Macro, meso and micro level analyses will be followed by the implementation of action plans, which are mainly directed to: gender regimes; awareness raising on gendered practices; gender equality in management and decision making; the phenomenon of Leaky Pipeline; the implicit gendered subtexts in evaluating excellence.

The impact of plant closure in manufacturing on displaced workers' trajectories
2011 - 2013 (21 mois)
grant-giving organisation : SECO (Switzerland)
Applicant : Daniel Oesch
Other partners : Isabel Baumann
This project examines the social and economic consequences of the closure of five large manufacturing plants in Switzerland for displaced workers' lives. The question addressed is how this has affected their occupational trajectories. The empirical analysis is based on a sample of 1000 workers who fill out a questionnaire two years after plant closure. The first goal is to find out if and where these displaced workers have found a job. The second goal is to know whether plant closure was accompanied by downward social mobility in terms of occupation and earnings: were displaced workers able to maintain their living standards or did plant closure leave a durable scar? Finally, the project wishes to identify both the categories of workers that succeeded in making the transition to an equivalent job and the categories of workers that lost out from plant closure.
Social networks and access to a job for the unemployed
2011 - 2014
grant-giving organisation : LIVES programme, SECO (Switzerland)
Other partners : Patrick Arni, Giuliano Bonoli, Rafael Lalive, Daniel Oesch, Nicolas Turtschi
This project is part of the LIVES-programme and empirically analyzes the role of social networks in getting a job. More precisely, it examines how networks can help the unemployed find jobs. The empirical analysis is based on a sample of all individuals newly registered as unemployed in the Canton of Vaud over a two-month period (February and March 2012). These unemployed people are asked to fill in two questionnaires on their social contacts and their job-search strategy at the very beginning and the end of their unemployment spell. Our hypothesis is that social networks not only serve as an important channel through which to leave unemployment, but also one that is not fully exploited. By shedding light on how social networks can help - or hinder - the unemployed in finding their way back into the labour market, the project aims to improve our understanding of a particularly critical transition in the life course.
