Arbeidsmobiliteit: een typologische studie
Abstract
Labor mobility. A typological study - The increased importance that labor mobility has assumed in economic and sociological literature suggests the desirability of a more extensive examination of the content of this concept. The term “labor mobility” is admittedly used in a wide variety of senses. It refers to many types of movement, whose volume, character, consequences and involved motivations may be different. The author describes the main features of several types of labor mobility: industrial mobility, occupational mobility, inter-firm mobility, transfer, migration, commuting, social mobility and participation mobility. In the inter-war years, the approach for the study of all types of labor mobility was essentially macro-economic, which means, that the main purpose was to determine the volume and general characteristics of the movements. Since the end of the second World War a micro-sociological and psychological approach has been developed (case-studies). The author comments the aims and possibilities of both approaches.
