Abstract
Abstract 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.
