Abstract
To what extent has the changing structure of economy during the transition in Central and Eastern Europe resulted in reskilling, deskilling, or upskilling of the labour force? Using unique data from the Life in Transition Survey (2006) we find that the scale of changes in the skill-sets has been surprisingly limited. Instead, transition has resulted in a generational change: workers from declining firms and sectors exited labour market, while the young cohorts took up the jobs in the emerging sectors. Furthermore, we find that pre-retirement exists can be explained by the type of inherited skills: workers with narrower and shallower skill-sets ‘survived’ in the labour market for a considerably shorter period of time.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
