Abstract
This chapter attempts to investigate changes in labour force status and labour turnover by using the Employment Status Survey, examining (i) the estimation of transition probabilities among several labour force statuses; (ii) the estimation of the determination in transition probabilities; and (iii) the estimation of labour turnover functions. It is emphasized that these three subjects are related, and provide complementary information.
