ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the relationship between labour market mobility and employment security across Europe from an empirical perspective using the data of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) for the period 1994-2001. It develops some empirical indicators for measuring the attained levels of labour market mobility and employment security in Europe. It also examines the variation across countries and welfare regimes in the way they try to achieve a balance between labour market mobility and employment security. The chapter uses a multi-level approach in order to examine the effects of macro-level institutions, country and regime type in order to explain the variation in mobility patterns across countries. The chapter uses the ECHP data to analyse labour market mobility patterns of regular and non-regular workers in Europe during the 1990s. It evaluates multinomial logit models in order to explain the labour market mobility patterns.
