Labour Mobility in Australian Industry
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 10:07 authored by Susan KilpatrickSusan Kilpatrick, Felmingham, BSTwo Australian mobility surveys are analysed (February 1989 and February 1992) to identify the explanation of labour mobility in Australian industry. An informal analysis reveals that labour turnover is higher in boom as opposed to recessed conditions. A formal legit study reveals that industry unemployment rates have a significant impact on male turnover, but not on female mobility. The age of workers and their tenure in the job reduce the odds of a job change, generally, while the tendency towards part time work is encouraging mobility. Occupational status is significant, especially among male workers, and for plant operators and labourers in particular.
