NEGOTIATE

NEGOTIATE is an EU-funded research project centred on young people in Europe. It examines the long- and short-term consequences of experiencing job insecurity or labour market exclusion in the transition to adulthood.

By actively involving national and European stakeholders, as well as young people themselves, the project will contribute to evidence-based and effective policies preventing the adverse effects of early job insecurity and youth unemployment. NEGOTIATE involves ten international partners. 

EU-logo

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 649395.

Project timeframe

This three-year research project began in 2015 and will end in 2018.

Project objectives

NEGOTIATE researchers aim to:

  • analyse how adverse labour market conditions for young adults affect their scope for active agency on the pathway to adulthood
  • examine young adults’ own perceptions of job prospects and their scope for negotiating their position
  • map the general context in which young people in Europe form their work expectations and negotiate labour market integration and transition from youth to adulthood
  • improve our understanding of the mechanisms leading to cross-country variations in the individual consequences of early job insecurity
  • gain comparative knowledge about the long-term consequences of young people’s job insecurity through analyses of the life courses of older birth cohorts
  • gain insights into employers’ evaluations and risk-assessments of young job applicants in different policy contexts across Europe
  • deliver new knowledge about the conditions under which early job insecurity has the least adverse outcomes for subjective and objective wellbeing
  • assess the coordination of policy measures and strategies to strengthen young people’s negotiating position in labour market transitions, integrating the horizontal and vertical dimensions of coordination in the context of European multi-level governance
  • inform the public and facilitate policy learning about factors that foster societal resilience at national and European levels.

Project findings and impact

NEGOTIATE is a three-year project. By actively involving national and European stakeholders – including young people – NEGOTIATE will contribute to policies that promote the employability of young Europeans, thus maximising societal and scientific impact. The project participants will observe the present, learn from the past and project the future to inform policies that help prevent early labour market exclusion and adverse effects of job insecurity in the short and long term. Findings, output and impact will be updated as the project progresses.
