Social Consequences of Labour Market Marginalisation in Germany: Analysing the Impact of Social Identities and Values

The book examines the social consequences of labour market marginalisation for close social relations and social participation in Germany. Multilevel models and individual fixed effects analyses show that material security is an overrated factor.

While financial strain does not explain the effects of labour market marginalisation on social exclusion, social identity and normative expectations are influential determinants.
