“…In Russia, the probability of having a medium-tenure job also increased over time, but it appears to be related to a decreasing probability of having a short-tenure job. This pattern is similar to the one observed in Central European countries that also transitioned from a planned to a market economy (Bussolo et al,2022), suggesting some degree of commonality in the long-term evolution of job tenure in Russia and the countries that are more advanced in transitioning to the market economy.…”

“…Women have longer tenure than men in all countries except Kosovo and North Macedonia, where the difference is small. This pattern is different from the pattern in EU countries, where men have longer tenure (Bussolo et al 2022). As expected, older cohorts have longer tenure than younger ones, although the difference varies across countries.…”

“…Average tenure varies significantly across countries, ranging from about 7.4 years in Russia to about 13.1 years in Serbia (Figure 1). This span of tenure durations is not very different from that observed in the European Union, where it ranges from 7.4 years in Latvia to 12.7 years in Greece (Bussolo et al 2022). There is no common trend in tenure for all seven countries: Average tenure increased in Albania, declined in Türkiye, and remained relatively stable in the rest of the countries over the period covered by the surveys.…”

“…A useful benchmark for cross-country comparisons of age-tenure profiles are the countries of the European Union, where the values for job tenure obtained from a similar decomposition for workers are 2.3 years of tenure at age 30 and 10.1 years at age 50 (Bussolo et al 2022). All countries except Albania have tenure age profiles that are lower than that of the EU countries, although this pattern is reversed by the last years of professional life.…”

“…Compositional changes within these groups could partially explain the tenure dynamics observed across birth cohorts. As educational attainment is correlated with average tenure (Bussolo et al 2022), changes in educational attainment across cohorts may explain differences in average tenure.…”

This paper uses labour force survey data to analyse the dynamics of job tenure in seven transition economies of Europe and a comparator country (Türkiye) for an average 13 years per country during the period 1994–2020. The country‐specific age‐period‐cohort decomposition demonstrates that the job tenure of the cohort of workers entering the labour market in the 2000s is 4–9 years shorter than that of workers who started working in the 1970s. This difference is at least twice as large as the difference in job tenure observed among workers from the same cohorts in European Union countries. These trends in tenure persist after accounting for changes in cohort composition, but they are significantly attenuated by controlling for differences in individual worker characteristics. These results suggest that the evolution of tenure in the transition economies of Europe may still be driven by the transition‐induced structural change processes in the labour market.
