Abstract

This paper uses labor force survey data for 1995–2020 to analyze the dynamics of job tenure inseven transition economies of Europe and a comparator country (Türkiye). The country-specific age-period-cohortdecomposition demonstrates that, except in Albania, the job tenure of the cohort of workers entering the labor market inthe 2000s is four to nine years shorter than that of workers who started working in the 1970s. This difference is atleast twice as large as the difference in job tenure observed among workers from the same cohorts in EuropeanUnion countries. These trends in tenure persist after accounting for changes in cohort composition, but they aresignificantly attenuated by controlling for differences in individual worker characteristics. These results suggestthat the evolution of tenure in the transition economies of Europe is still driven mainly by the transition-inducedstructural change processes in the labor market.
