Prof. Dr. Hanna Schwander forscht im Bereich der vergleichenden Politikwissenschaft und politischen Ökonomie mit einem Schwerpunkt auf sozialen Ungleichheiten, Arbeitsmarktdualisierung und deren Auswirkungen auf Demokratien. Ihre empirischen Studien untersuchen die politischen Präferenzen von 'Insidern' und 'Outsidern', den Aufstieg populistischer Parteien sowie die Rolle der Zivilgesellschaft in Zeiten gesellschaftlicher Transformation. Aktuelle Projekte befassen sich zudem mit der sozialpolitischen Dimension der Klimaanpassung und den Dynamiken von Demografie und Public Policies.

• Who is in and who is out? A risk-based conceptualization of insiders and outsiders

  2013

  Journal of European Social Policy · DOI

  With the post-industrialization and flexibilization of European labour markets, research on social and economic correlates of labour market vulnerability and weak labour market attachment is growing. Part of this literature conceptualizes these correlates in terms of dualization and insider–outsider divides in an attempt to explore their political implications: this article is written in order to contribute to this strand of research. In this article, we propose a conceptualization and measurement of labour market insiders and outsiders, based on their respective risk of being atypically employed or unemployed. We propose both a dichotomous measure of insiders/outsiders and a continuous measure of the degree of an individual’s ‘outsiderness’. We argue that such risk-based measures are particularly suited for research on the policy preferences and political implications of insider–outsider divides. On the basis of EU-SILC and national household panel data, we provide a map of dualization across different countries and welfare regimes. We then explore the correlates of labour market vulnerability – that is, outsiderness – by relating it to indicators of income and upward job mobility, as well as labour market policy preferences. The results consistently confirm an impact of labour market vulnerability, indicating a potential for a politicization of the insider/outsider conflict.

• High-skilled outsiders? Labor market vulnerability, education and welfare state preferences

  2014

  Socio-Economic Review · DOI

  Recent research has established that employment risk shapes social policy preferences. However, risk is often conceptualized as an alternative measure of the socio-economic status. We show that employment risk and socio-economic status are distinct, crosscutting determinants of social policy preferences. More specifically, we analyze the policy preferences of high-skilled labor market outsiders as a cross-pressured group. We first establish that labor market vulnerability has spread well into the more highly educated segments of the population. We then show that the effect of labor market vulnerability on social policy preferences even increases with higher educational attainment. We conclude that that labor market risk and educational status are not interchangeable and that the high skilled are particularly sensitive to the experience of labor market risk. Thereby, our findings point to a potential cross-class alliance between more highly and lower skilled vulnerable individuals in support of a redistributive and activating welfare state. Thus, they have far-reaching implications for our understanding of both the politicization of insider/outsider divides and the politics of welfare support.
