Abstract

The movement of workers from one job to another allows workers and firms to adapt to changing economic and personal circumstances. Job mobility contributes to the efficient working of the labour market; as workers can seek out new jobs in which they can be more productive and for which they will be better rewarded. Internationally, changing jobs appears to be an important part of worker’s experience in the labour market. However, little is known about job mobility in an Irish context. Recent research by Adele Bergin helps to establish the prevalence of job changing in Ireland, how it has changed over time, and the types of worker most likely to switch jobs.
