abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of
|
||||
|
||||
social networks, and the social capital embedded in them, to secure
|
||||
|
||||
employment if someone had become unemployed after the age of 50 years
|
||||
|
||||
and to reveal the process of accessing and mobilising that social
|
||||
|
||||
capital.
|
||||
|
||||
Design/methodology/approach A case study of a Scottish labour market was
|
||||
|
||||
undertaken which involved an interview-based survey of those who became
|
||||
|
||||
unemployed in their early 50''s and tried to regain employment. The
|
||||
|
||||
interview had structured and unstructured parts which allowed both
|
||||
|
||||
quantitative and qualitative analysis to compare those who were
|
||||
|
||||
successful in regaining work with those who were not. The uniqueness of
|
||||
|
||||
the paper is the use of social network components while controlling for
|
||||
|
||||
other socio-economic and demographic variables in job search of older
|
||||
|
||||
workers.
|
||||
|
||||
Findings Those older people who were unemployed and, returned to
|
||||
|
||||
employment (reemployed) had a higher proportion of contacts with higher
|
||||
|
||||
prestige jobs, their job searching methods were mainly interpersonal and
|
||||
|
||||
the rate of finding their last job via their social networks was higher
|
||||
|
||||
than those who remained unemployed. Both groups mobilised social capital
|
||||
|
||||
(MSC), but those reemployed accessed higher quality social capital.
|
||||
|
||||
Strong ties, rather than weak ties, were found to be important in
|
||||
|
||||
accessing and mobilising social capital for the older workers who
|
||||
|
||||
returned to employment.
|
||||
|
||||
Research limitations/implications This work is limited to a local labour
|
||||
|
||||
market and is based on a small but informative sample. However, it does
|
||||
|
||||
show that policy is required to allow older people to enhance their
|
||||
|
||||
social networks by strengthening the social capital embedded in the
|
||||
|
||||
networks. The results support the use of intermediaries as bridges to
|
||||
|
||||
help compensate for older people who have weak social networks. Besides
|
||||
|
||||
the policy implications, the paper also has two distinct research
|
||||
|
||||
implications. First, the use of social network component to the existing
|
||||
|
||||
literature of older workers'' job search. Second, exploring the type and
|
||||
|
||||
relational strength with network members to explain older workers''
|
||||
|
||||
reemployment.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical implications The paper illustrates that how accessed and MSC
|
||||
|
||||
can be measured.
|
||||
|
||||
Social implications As populations age, this work points to an approach
|
||||
|
||||
to support older people to re-enter employment and to include them in
|
||||
|
||||
society.
|
||||
|
||||
Originality/value The paper extends social network and employment
|
||||
|
||||
literature to fill gaps on how older people require to both access and
|
||||
|
||||
mobilise social capital. The importance of strong ties in the
|
||||
|
||||
reemployment of older workers contrasts with much of the literature on
|
||||
|
||||
younger workers where the strength of weak ties so far has been regarded
|
||||
|
||||
as essential for successful job search. Measures are forwarded to reveal
|
||||
|
||||
the relevance of social capital. The policy value of the work is in
|
||||
|
||||
suggesting ways to facilitate older people re-enter or remain in work
|
||||
|
||||
and hence sustain their well-being.'
