Occupational Mobility in Austria. Preferences and individual characteristics for the workers to undertake an occupational change

Más información sobre el libro

The thesis explores occupational mobility through two main sections. It first discusses theoretical frameworks, emphasizing the vertical re-sorting approach, which better reflects real-world wage variations post-career change. The second part analyzes occupational mobility rates, motivations for job changes, and transition matrices from various countries, with a specific focus on Austria. It investigates the preferences of Austrian workers regarding occupational shifts and identifies individual characteristics influencing their decisions to change careers.
