This paper describes a number of alternative approaches to devising a vertical occupational scale and compares the outcomes of different scales on calculations of occupational mobility. The paper describes the conceptual issues relevant to calculating occupational mobility and documents the...

"The objective of this paper is to present a short survey of our new research results to mobility and stability of employment on a micro level. This area of conflict is analyzed from an individual and a firm's perspective, taking institutional issues into account. More than previous studies, we...

"The insider-outsider theory is one of the approaches with which the persistence of unemployment can be accounted for. The central hypothesis says that the insiders, in other words the 'job holders', drive the wage level above the market-clearing level, thus creating a barrier that prevents new...
