The evolution of job tenure in transition economies

Abstract

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.

“…This could be because longer tenure in the industry often leads to greater opportunities for career progression, skill development, and access to leadership roles. This is similar to the finding of Bussolo et al (2023). Employment status significantly affects Professional Growth (f = 4.95595, p = 0.028245).…”

“…Longevity in the industry may lead to increased job stability, higher salaries, and access to more senior positions, contributing to greater economic security satisfaction. Same can be said as to the work of Bussolo et al (2023) stating that those with stable, longer-tenured jobs accumulate more wealth than those who do not. For Status of Employment, the employment status significantly affects Economic Security (f = 6.17002, p = 0.014655).…”

“…The other Job Satisfaction areas were found with no significant differences when computed for overall test of significant differences even though individually there are significant differences found via ANOVA. The study conducted by Bussolo et al in 2023 found that individuals who have stable and longer-tenured jobs tend to accumulate more wealth compared to those who do not have such jobs.…”
