“…Regarding worker flows, Givord and Maurin (2004) find that the use of new technologies increases the annual transition rate from employment to unemployment, and that this is enough to explain the global trend toward greater job insecurity observed in France. Looking at worker flows by skill levels in France, Askenazy and Moreno-Galbis (2007) find that firms that most intensely use new technologies and innovative work practices experience a higher turnover among most of the occupational categories.…”

Following the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT), firms are likely to face increasing skill requirements. They may react either by training or hiring the new skills, or by a combination of both. We first show that ICT are indeed skill biased and we then assess the relative importance of external and internal labour market strategies. We show that skill upgrading following ICT adoption takes place mostly through internal labour markets adjustments. The introduction of ICT is associated with an upward shift in firms' occupational structure, of which one third is due to hiring and firing workers from and to the external labour market, whereas two-thirds are due to promotions. Moreover, we find no compelling evidence of external labour market strategies based on "excess turnover". In contrast, French firms heavily rely on training in order to upgrade the skill level of their workforce, even if this varies across industries.JEL Classification: J23, J24, J41

“…OECD (1997) provide empirical evidence on the evolution and the causes of job instability for Europe. In addition, Givord and Maurin (2001) provide recent evidence on the rise in magnitude of job instability in France. Nätti et al (2001) investigate the determination of perception of job instability in Finland.…”

Perception of Job Instability in Europe

The study explores the empirical determination of perceived job instability in European labour markets. The study is based on the large-scale survey from the year 1998 covering the 15 member states of the European Union and Norway. There are evidently large differences in the amount of perceived job instability from country to country. The lowest level of perceived job instabity is in Denmark (9%). In contrast, the highest level of perceived job instability is in Spain (63%). The results show that perceived job instability increases with age. Educational level, on the other hand, does not correlate strongly with the perception of job instability. There are no differences in the perceptions of job instability between males and females. An occurrence of unemployment during the past five years yields a substantial rise in the perception of job instability. The empirical finding that unemployment history strongly matters for the perception of job instability is consistent with the notion that an unemployment episode provides otherwise private information about unobservable productivity of an employee. The most striking result is that a temporary contract as such does not yield an additional increase to the perception of job instability at the individual level of the economy. However, the perception of job instability is more common within manufacturing industries. In addition, the perception of job instability by employees increases according to the size of the firm. There are also strong country effects. 4 TIIVISTELMÄ
