    'Simple Jobs' for Disqualified Workers. Employability at the Bottom of the Labour Market
    (Seismo, 2021) Nadai, Eva; Gonon, Anna; Suter, Christian; Cuvi, Jacinto; Balsiger, Philip; Nedelcu, Mihaela [in: The Future of Work]
    Employability is a key issue in discourses and policies addressing the social consequences of labour market transformation. Knowledge and skills are commonly seen as core conditions of employability. Those labeled as unskilled, because they lack formal qualifications, are discursively constructed for what they are unable to be and do – they are disqualified as unemployable. At best they are fit for “simple jobs”, which do not require any specific occupational training or knowledge and can be handled by anyone. The chapter paper discusses employability in “simple jobs” from the perspective of employers. Drawing on the theoretical framework of the Economics of Convention (EC), we conceptualize employability and skills as emerging effects of valorization and as always contextual. Skills are not necessary or valuable in and of themselves but only in as much they are valued by a specific employer with respect to a specific coordination of production. Moreover, the value of workers is not merely an individual parameter, but it depends on their fit into an existing work organization. Matching workers and jobs can go both ways: selecting workers who fit the skills requirements of a job, as defined by the employer, or adapting technical and organizational forms to the skill level of the available workforce. The paper is based on empirical data from a qualitative study on the employability of unskilled workers in five industries with a high percentage of low-skilled jobs. It comprises three interview waves with workers (39 in the first wave), with employers (33 interviews in 27 firms) and with labour market intermediates (10 interviews in 3 private and 3 public employment agencies).

    Health and employment: Convention theory’s perspective on work incapacity
    (Springer, 12/2022) Nadai, Eva; Gonon, Anna; Diaz-Bone, Rainer; Larquier de, Guillemette [in: Handbook of Economics and Sociology of Conventions]
    Health is an important research field for the Economics and Sociology of Conventions (EC/SC), but the implications of health in the domain of work and employment are notably absent in the debate. Yet, health in terms of a well-functioning body and mind is a crucial precondition for employment. In the workplace, health is inextricably tied to work capacity: What matters is the degree to which health enables or hampers a person to meet given productivity standards. Work incapacity due to health impairments therefore raises deeply normative questions not only for the economy but also for the welfare state. To what extent is incapacity to be tolerated in the productivity-driven world of work, and what is the just and adequate support for people with disabilities who cannot make a living through gainful work? Convention theory offers a number of useful theoretical concepts to analyze these questions, which organize the presentation of EC/SC research on health and employment in this chapter. Handling work incapacity depends on classification: What counts as standard work capacity, or, conversely, as incapacity which legitimizes special treatment? Managing health troubles triggers disputes and requires justifications in the economy and in the welfare system. The (non-)employment of people with health impairments depends on the valorization of labor, which in turn relates to a plurality of quality conventions and respective tests. Finally, dealing with work incapacity is structured by investments in forms that allow classification, valorization, and the coordination of labor market inclusion and support.

    Bridging the Gulf between Welfare and Economy. Collaboration between Disability Insurance and Employers
    (27.09.2015) Nadai, Eva
    Over the past 15 years inter-institutional cooperation has become a prominent topic in social policy in Switzerland, especially with respect to the labour market integration of the unemployed. In all cantons concrete collaboration projects have been established. However, while these projects may improve inter-organizational collaboration within the welfare system they fall short of addressing the missing link of occupational integration, namely including employers into respective networks. After all, the success of welfare state efforts to reintegrate the unemployed hinges on the decisions of business enterprises to actually employ these people. Especially in the disability insurance (IV) the collaboration with employers has become a pressing issue. Following a marked increase in pensions and costs during the 1990s and influenced by OECD recommendations the IV has undergone several major reforms aimed at strengthening the focus on occupational integration. Employers are here seen as key players. The paper argues that bridging the gulf between welfare and economy poses the twofold problem of establishing organizational networks and of reframing the cultural conventions of social and economic action. On the organizational level the cantonal IV-offices are “translating” cooperation models developed earlier for collaboration within the welfare system to cooperation with employers and other insurers, while at the same time establishing one-to-one contacts with individual business enterprises. Regarding cultural reframing, they have to invoke a complex array of social and economic rationales to persuade businesses to employ workers with “limited productivity”.
