Abstract
In this paper we examine the extent to which the experience of unemployment
increases the likelihood of future unemployment. Many studies
have examined this issue from an individual perspective. These include
studies focusing directly on the work disincentives inherent in the welfare
system (Atkinson and Mogensen, 1993) and reduced form studies examining
duration dependence within unemployment spells.1 In this paper we
examine dependency on unemployment by focusing on the family dynasty
as the unit of analysis rather than the individual. In particular we ask: to
what extent does a father’s participation in unemployment affect the
likelihood that his son will subsequently become unemployed?
