| Abstract: | The willingness of workers to move down an occupational hierarchy is a potentially important source of flexibility in the labour market. But, relatively little is known about the scale or pattern of occupational up- and downgrading. This paper examines who downgrades and the cyclical structure of up- and downgrading. The authors find that occupational downgrading is surprisingly large relative to flows into unemployment. |
