Abstract
This study investigates the effects of the diversity of the employment types of a close contact network on the feeling of being socially integrated and investigates if there is a difference between men and women for this effect. This is interesting and important as the width of close contacts networks are decreasing, whereas their importance for support and social integration for people’s well-being is big. It was expected that a more diverse network would lead to different schedules and thus different amounts of and moments of leisure time within the network. Therefore, the ego would experience less social interaction and more rejection, wherethrough the ego would feel less socially integrated. It was also expected that this effect would be weaker for women, as they already have less leisure time and already feel less well socially integrated than men. Lastly, it was expected that having more part-time contacts would be better for feeling socially integrated than having more full-time contacts. This study has been performed by using secondary data from the LISS data panel and analysed with a regression analysis in SPSS. Results have shown no evidence for any of the hypothesis. However, there has been found support for the theory that women feel less socially integrated than men.
