Read "Labour Market Dynamics and Development" by Kevin Donovan, Will Jianya Lu and Todd Schoellman here.
Much of what economists know about labour market dynamics - the process by which workers can improve their lives by switching jobs - is based on data and research in high-income countries. In this episode of VoxDevTalks, Kevin Donovan and Todd Schoellman outline new evidence from low- and middle-income countries, discuss their surprising finding about labour market flows, and talk through why this might lead us to rethink job creation policy.
