This research deals with the old, but unsettled, question of the extent to which different European welfare regimes and household strategies minimize the risk of unemployment. The author statistically processed the EU Labour Force Survey microdata for 29 European countries, covering the period from 2006 to 2016. Utilizing representative data and multilevel analysis, this research redresses the lack of understanding of how different household types buffer and mediate the risks of unemployment. The evidence suggests that choosing the strategy of breadwinning, familization of care or decommodification of labour, male-breadwinner households are more liable to increasing risks of unemployment than other types of households. However, male-breadwinner households remain more resilient against the influence of macro-economic shocks.

这项研究针对的是一个古老但尚未解决的问题，即不同的欧洲福利制度和家庭策略在多大程度上降低了失业风险。作者统计处理了29个欧洲国家（涵盖2006年至2016年）的欧盟劳动力调查微数据。该研究利用代表性数据和多层次分析，弥补了对不同家庭类型如何缓冲和调解失业风险的认识不足。有证据表明，与其他类型的家庭相比，选择养家糊口，照料家庭化或劳动力分工的策略的男性以面包为生的家庭更容易增加失业风险。但是，男性养家糊口的家庭仍然能够抵御宏观经济冲击的影响。
