Talent in transit: Occupation and industry mobility in Australia
Commission research
This paper looks at occupational and cross-industry mobility in Australia from 2015-16 to 2022-23.
This paper helps to reconcile conflicting narratives for Australian occupational mobility: On the one hand, the popular consensus is that careers are dynamic and becoming more so, with multiple careers per lifetime and dwindling job security. On the other hand, evidence suggests that job mobility has been declining consistently across OECD countries and in Australia.
Occupational job data could uncover information about how occupations change and the human capital that allows for transitions, as well as between industry flows of labour.
