Labour mobility is a core element of a well-functioning and flexible labour market. Although mobility is considered to be generally desirable, this is not always the case as individual job-movers can become better or worse off after their move. Recent research has considered the factors which influence 'good' or 'bad' mobility and the results will be presented in this webinar. Using [the National Centre for Vocational Education Research] NCVER Student Outcomes Survey data, the National Institute of Labour Studies examined the types of mobility and outcomes ensuing for those who have just completed a vocational education and training (VET) course in Australia. The different types of mobility considered include changing industry sector only, changing occupation only, and changing both sector and occupation. To determine whether job quality improves with mobility, the researchers have compared several measures of quality before and after a VET course, focussing on the association between mobility and better pay, better occupational status, higher chance of full time employment, and lower chance of casual employment.
