NEGOTIATE is a comparative research project that examines the long- and short-term consequences of job insecurity and labour market exclusion of young people in nine European countries (Norway, Germany, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, Poland, Bulgaria). It will provide insights as to how the extent and the consequences of early job insecurity vary within and across countries and social groups. The project focuses on how young people's scope for agency interacts with structural conditions and examines the relationship between young people's subjective and objective negotiating positions across economic and social dimensions that affect labour market integration and social inclusion. It is leans upon the trans-disciplinary concepts of resilience, capability, active agency, and negotiation and combines these with methodological innovation (life course interviews and vignette experiments) in order to investigate the consequences of young people's insecure labour market positions at both individual and societal levels. By actively involving national and European stakeholders, as well as young people themselves, the project should contribute to evidence-based and effective policies against the adverse effects of early job insecurity and youth unemployment. Comparative findings from the employer survey are available online at https://negotiate-research.eu/survey-experiment/ Findings from the Swiss employer survey (in German) are available online at https://negotiate-research.eu/survey-experiment/employer-report-switzerland/ A Scientific Use File of the employer data is available at the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (NSD): https://search.nsd.no/study/NSD2644
