    From Lifetime Jobs to Churning?

    Using data over 1991–2008 for Switzerland, we investigate job stability through a series of Cox proportional hazards models. Our baseline results show that employment has become less stable for older male workers, with less noticeable change for other groups. However, when destination states are considered in the model, results indicate that younger workers face more transitions towards unemployment than before, whereas older male workers’ greater instability is caused by an increase in transitions to inactivity. It thus appears that the situation of young workers has deteriorated, while the evolution of older men’s job stability is at least partly explained by the increasing number of early retirements. For women, our results are largely consistent with their increasing participation rate and attachment to the labor market.

    We investigate the specific situation of youth with regard to unemployment. Even though Switzerland is known to suffer from low unemployment in international comparison, young and unskilled workers are the most vulnerable and therefore deserve attention. Using data from the Swiss Labour Force Survey over the period from 1991 to 2008, we conduct several statistical analyses to investigate the labour market situation of unskilled youths and its evolution. The results show that the situation of unskilled young workers has significantly worsened over the last two decades. Transition analysis and logistic regressions indicate more resilient unemployment for unskilled youths. The business cycle, bilateral agreements with the EU granting free movement of labour and technological changes are all potential explanations of this phenomenon.
