C3 - Multiple or Simultaneous Equation Models; Multiple VariablesReturn

This article deals with multistate demography approach applied on the labour market. The multistate demography - methodology and history - are briefly described. The application of this method is presented using transitions between economically active and inactive states on the labour market and among economically inactive, employed and unemployed states. Estimation based on the Labour Force Sample Survey (LFSS) for the Czech Republic shows that during the life course (15-64 years of age) the expected length of stay for each state changes depending on the original state and age. Main differences were found for younger (25-40 years) and older (55+ years) persons.
