Mobility

Mobility describes a change in an employed person’s labour market status over a period of time. Mobility can be divided in two different flows: people who enter the labour force and people who are leaving, both of which can be subdivided into different categories. This figure represents a year-on-year change. The first flow refers to people who are employed in a sector in a given quarter, but who were not working under an employment contract in that particular sector in the previous year. The second flow refers to people who are not working in a sector in a given quarter, but who were working under an employment contract in that particular sector one year previously.
