While economic dimensions of labor market outcomes are relatively well documented, evidence on the link between social cohesion and jobs is still surprisingly scarce. This paper, based on an earlier background report for the WDR 2013, presents empirical evidence for pathways between labor market outcomes and social cohesion. The findings indicate that formal employment is associated with a range of social outcomes and behaviors that are typically associated with higher levels of social cohesion. However, there are also indications that this relationship varies across dimensions of social wellbeing. In particular social interactions and political activism among those in regular employment can either improve the quality of aggregate institutions or deepen existing social divides.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGACTIVE EMPLOYMENTACTIVE LABORADOLESCENTSAGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGYBULLETINBUSINESS ORGANIZATIONSCAPACITY BUILDINGCITIESCITIZENSHIPCIVIL WARCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOLLECTIVE BARGAININGCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY ACTIVITIESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPETITIVE LABOR MARKETSCRIMECRIMESCULTURAL CHANGEDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC MOVEMENTSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDIVISION OF LABORDIVORCEDRUG ABUSEEARNINGECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC CHANGESECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC COSTSECONOMIC CRISESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EFFECTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INEQUALITYECONOMIC INSECURITYECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC MOBILITYECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC OPPORTUNITYECONOMIC SHOCKSECONOMIC THEORYEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT HISTORIESEMPLOYMENT LEVELSEMPLOYMENT POLICIESEMPLOYMENT PROBABILITYEMPLOYMENT PROMOTIONEMPLOYMENT SITUATIONEMPLOYMENT STATUSEQUAL PARTICIPATIONEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITYETHNIC GROUPSEXCESSIVE REGULATIONEXTERNALITIESFAIRFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY STRUCTURESFEMALEGENDERGENDER DISCRIMINATIONGENDER NORMSGHETTOSGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTHABITATHIGH UNEMPLOYMENTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESHOUSEHOLDSHOUSINGHOUSING POLICYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESILLNESSIMPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENTINCOMEINCOME INEQUALITYINFLATIONINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL DIVISION OF LABORINTERVENTIONINTERVENTIONSJOB SECURITYJOBSLABOR LAWSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET INSTITUTIONSLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOR MARKET POLICIESLABOR MARKET REFORMSLABOR MARKET REGULATIONSLABOR MARKET SEGMENTATIONLABOR MARKET TRAININGLABOR MARKETSLABOR REGULATIONSLABOR RELATIONSLABOURLABOUR MARKETLABOUR MARKET OUTCOMESLIVING STANDARDSMARKET ANALYSISMARKET DEVELOPMENTSMARKET DISTORTIONSMARKET ECONOMIESMARKET TRENDSMASS MEDIAMODERNIZATIONNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL POLICYNEIGHBORHOODNEIGHBORHOODSNEIGHBOURHOODSOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONAL MOBILITYOCCUPATIONSPERMANENT EMPLOYMENTPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL ARENAPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INSTITUTIONSPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL SCIENTISTSPRECEDING DISCUSSIONPRIMARY SOURCEPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC POLICYQUALITATIVE APPROACHQUALITY OF LIFERACIAL INEQUALITIESREFUGEESREGULAR EMPLOYMENTRELIGIOUS BELIEFSRESIDENTIAL MOBILITYRESPECTRISING UNEMPLOYMENTRISING UNEMPLOYMENT RATESROLE MODELSSELF-ESTEEMSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL BARRIERSSOCIAL BENEFITSSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL CLASSSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL CONFLICTSOCIAL CONSEQUENCESSOCIAL COSTSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DIFFERENCESSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL INSTITUTIONSSOCIAL ISOLATIONSOCIAL MOBILITYSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL STATUSSOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONSSOCIOLOGISTSSPREADSTAGFLATIONSTATEMENT OF COMMITMENTSUBSIDIZED EMPLOYMENTSUBSIDIZED JOBSSURPLUSTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONSTEMPORARY EMPLOYMENTTEMPORARY JOBSTEMPORARY WORKERSTOLERANCETRADE UNIONSUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSUNEMPLOYMENT RATESURBAN POVERTYVOLATILITYVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWAGE INEQUALITIESWAGESWARWELFARE RECIPIENTSWELL-FUNCTIONING LABOR MARKETSWORK FORCEWORKERWORKING-AGE POPULATIONYOUNG WORKERSYOUTH10.1596/1813-9450-6804
