Abstract:
The aim of the study was:

(2) to generate a data file which matches the census data with other sources and to connect this to the work history data in (1) above;
(3) to estimate and interpret a competing risk model of labour market mobility;
(4) to test the study area effect for exogeneity.
Main Topics:
Unemployment rates and active rates by year and area and gender.
