Economic instability, social changes, and new social policies place economic insecurity high on the scholarly and political agenda. We contribute to these debates by proposing a new multidimensional, intertemporal measure of economic insecurity that accounts for both its multiplicity and its dynamism. First, we develop three theory-driven, multidimensional measures of economic insecurity. Principal Components Analysis validates the measure. Second, we develop a dynamic approach to insecurity, using longitudinal data and a newly revised headcount method. Third, we then use our new measures to analyze the distribution of insecurity in Europe. Our analysis shows that insecurity is widespread across Europe, even in low-inequality, encompassing welfare states. Moreover, it extends across income groups and occupational classes, reaching into the middle classes.
经济不稳定、社会变革以及新的社会政策将经济不安全问题置于学术和政治议程的重要位置。我们通过提出一种新的多维、跨期经济不安全衡量方法来参与这些辩论，该方法兼顾了经济不安全的多样性和动态性。首先，我们开发了三种由理论驱动的多维经济不安全衡量方法。主成分分析验证了该衡量方法。其次，我们利用纵向数据和新修订的贫困人口统计方法，开发了一种衡量不安全状况的动态方法。第三，我们运用新方法分析欧洲不安全状况的分布。我们的分析表明，不安全状况在欧洲广泛存在，即使在不平等程度较低的福利国家也是如此。此外，它跨越不同收入群体和职业阶层，甚至波及中产阶级。
