Labor Mobility in Egypt, Jordan and Turkey: A Multi-State, Multi-Spell Analysis Using the ELMPS, JLMPS and TWMHS
This project analyzes labor market dynamics in Egypt, Jordan and Turkey using retrospective labor market history survey data in the Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS) of 2012, the Jordan Labor Market Panel Survey (JLMPS) of 2010 and the Turkey Work and Migration History Survey (TWMHS) of 2011. The study investigates the determinants of labor market transition dynamics into/out of, and between formal and informal employment at the individual level. The models will be estimated separately for males and females in order to reveal if there has been gender inequality in mobility between formal and informal jobs. To account for regional differences, the models will be constructed separately for each country.
