ABSTRACT
This chapter describes how the participants fared in the domain of work from five perspectives: occupational status and the consequences of early childbearing for career development; personality characteristics associated with success in career path; the consequences of job insecurity for individuals; balancing demands on work and family; and recovery from work and the content of one's free time. The stability of one's career path may vary on all occupational levels. There was a general dependence between the length of the educational route and the career lines: choosing a general upper secondary school was linked to an educational career, which was distinguished at age 27 and which later developed to the stable career line. A lack of post-comprehensive education is the risk factor of one's lower occupational status and unstable career line. The role of one's constructive behavior in childhood in respect to his/her success in the labor market was seen in the study of the antecedents of labor market income.
