The paper has two main objectives. First, to investigate whether workers
show significant differences in labour opportunities. Second, to test the
hypothesis that tertiarisation has important effects explaining it. The
hypotheses are: (1) tertiarisation has relevant effects on the structure
of labour demand by skills; (2) the labour opportunities of workers can
be influenced by the skills developed in their previous jobs and their concordance
between sectoral changes. From a methodological point of
view, the approach implies a study of labour transition data of
workers, sectoral change and its qualification implications. In order to
research the previous argument, the authors analyse labour mobility
within European countries. Therefore, data used in the paper come
from the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). All descriptive
analyses have been carried out and the results from dynamic logit panel
data model suggest that the relation of workers to tertiarisation and its
implications approximated by their previous labour situation (sector
and skill) are significant, explaining differences observed in labour
transitions and its characteristics.
