Reemployment for those who are unemployed is both economically and socially important
but may be constrained because of the person’s context. The current study investigates key
socioeconomic, structural, and individual factors that may impact the likelihood of reemployment
for unemployed working age adults over the period of a year. Reemployment is further separated
in terms of stability and security by delineating casual versus non-casual reemployment. A multinomial
regression analysis of an Australian dataset (n = 375 adults who reported no limitation to
their ability to gain employment) found that economic constraints played a substantial role and
that the context issues act differently by employment type if reemployed. The results highlight the
importance of socio-structural issues, reflecting resource asymmetry. Supportive neighborhoods and
material deprivation set the scene, while education enables the pursuit of more stable and secure
employment opportunities.
