从社交媒体的角度看年轻人的失业:意大利的案例研究
Young Adult Unemployment Through the Lens of Social Media: Italy as a case study
摘要:
许多国家的青年失业率仍处于警戒水平,意大利就是其中之一。直接后果包括贫穷、社会排斥和犯罪行为,而对未来就业能力和工资的负面影响也不容忽视。在这项研究中,我们采用调查数据与社交媒体数据,特别是喜欢在Facebook页面上,分析个性,道德价值观,但也在意大利的年轻失业人口的文化元素。我们的研究结果表明,在个性和道德价值观上存在着微小但显著的差异,失业的男性不太讨人喜欢,而女性更愿意接受新的经历。与此同时,失业者有一个更集体主义的观点,更重视群体内的忠诚,权威和纯洁的基础。有趣的是,主题模型分析并没有显示出失业者在兴趣和文化因素方面的重大差异。然而,使用模式出现了;就业者似乎使用Facebook与当地活动联系,而失业者主要将其用于娱乐目的和新闻来源,使他们容易受到错误/虚假信息的影响。我们相信,这些发现可以帮助政策制定者更深入地了解这一人群,并采取措施提高这一脆弱人群的硬技能和软技能。
英文摘要:
Youth unemployment rates are still in alerting levels for many countries, among which Italy. Direct consequences include poverty, social exclusion, and criminal behaviours, while negative impact on the future employability and wage cannot be obscured. In this study, we employ survey data together with social media data, and in particular likes on Facebook Pages, to analyse personality, moral values, but also cultural elements of the young unemployed population in Italy. Our findings show that there are small but significant differences in personality and moral values, with the unemployed males to be less agreeable while females more open to new experiences. At the same time, unemployed have a more collectivist point of view, valuing more in-group loyalty, authority, and purity foundations. Interestingly, topic modelling analysis did not reveal major differences in interests and cultural elements of the unemployed. Utilisation patterns emerged though; the employed seem to use Facebook to connect with local activities, while the unemployed use it mostly as for entertainment purposes and as a source of news, making them susceptible to mis/disinformation. We believe these findings can help policymakers get a deeper understanding of this population and initiatives that improve both the hard and the soft skills of this fragile population.
