Labour Market Mobility

Using data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), we analyze non-employment episodes for immigrants from developing countries, and compare their situation to that of immigrants from developed countries and Canadian-born individuals between 1996 and 2006. The methods used allowed us to draw the following conclusion: significant differences exist between these three groups in labour market mobility, the average duration of a non-employment episode, and the factors that affect the propensity to exit from a nonemployment episode. These differences demonstrate a particular disadvantage for immigrants from developing countries. In fact, they tend to spend more time in non-employment episodes compared to their counterparts from developed countries, and compared to Canadian-born individuals.

Labour Market Mobility

Is more employee mobility preferable? Is more employee mobility preferable? S. De Winne, D. Stynen, C. Gilbert & L. Sels, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 21, November 2008, nr. 4, pp. 344-364 Despite promising positive effects of labour market mobility, the Flemish labour market is synonymous with rigidity. The question is thus whether the rosy picture of the consequences of mobility holds out. Why are people not more mobile if this improves their welfare and prosperity? Why does HRM strongly focus on retention management if mobility enhances productivity? 'More is better' seems a premature conclusion. The purpose of this contribution is to critically reflect on the added value of labour market mobility. We sketch the debate on the macro-economic level and investigate research on the effects of mobility at three levels: we map costs and benefits for labour market functioning (macro), for firms (meso), and for individual careers (micro). With this contribution we show that benefits at one level do not necessarily go hand in hand with benefits at the other levels. We conclude that firm loyalty also yiels economic benefits; that more mobility is welcome, as far as it concerns protected mobility.
