Employment trajectories in the Stockholm County: networks and sequences — •Hernan Mondani — Department of Sociology, Stockholm University, 10691 Stockholm, Sweden

An individual's career path in the labour market is likely to be influenced by other people within the organization she is employed at, as well as by the characteristics of the organization itself. In this study, we use Swedish longitudinal register data on employment in the Stockholm County to study the statistical properties of employment trajectories for a whole region. Employment trajectories are modelled as network paths through organizations. We look at statistics of permanence and switching between organizations, and how they correlate to the dimensions of public or private ownership and organizational size. Sequence analysis is used to cluster typical trajectories and their hierarchical structure along the mentioned dimensions.

Keywords: labour market dynamics, employment trajectories, sequence analysis.
