Abstract: Using employer-employee data covering the whole Swedish
economy over a uniquely long time period from 1986 to 2002, we examine how
job and worker flows have been distributed across age groups. We find that
job and worker flows vary by age groups, not only with respect to magnitude
and variation, but with respect to direction as well. The differences
between the age groups are mainly driven by the job creation rates.
Further, estimating a multinomial logistic model, we investigate the
importance of age for leaving, changing or entering a new employment. Even
though controlling for a number of factors, estimated age effects are
substantial.
