Labour Market Transitions and Their Determinants in Slovakia: Path from Crisis to Recovery

The paper brings analyses of the transitions between employment, unemployment and inactivity during and after the period of the financial and economic crisis, using longitudinal micro-data from the European Union Survey on Income and Living Conditions. The empirical analysis consists of two steps. An overall picture is obtained by computing transition probabilities and Shorrocks' summary mobility index. Effects of personal and household characteristics are explored through multinomial logit models. Our results confirm the low level of labour market mobility in Slovakia and the role of some determinants highlighted by previous research. In addition, analysis takes into account several new determinants that have not been included in the previous analyses.
