工人更换工作、部门或职业的能力，以及与劳动力重新分配相关的成本，都是学者们激烈辩论的主题。本文利用劳动力调查的数据，研究了1985至2000年间英国劳动力流动的职业和部门层面。通过阐述Neal(《劳动经济学杂志》，第13卷，1995年，第653-677页)的结论，我们试图阐明劳动力市场、技能的一般性和特殊性与个人在部门之间和部门内以及在职业内部和之间流动的能力之间的复杂关系，即‘未来的研究*T*.*T*必须面对定义直接捕捉重要技能特殊性的工作类别的任务’。职业技能的特殊性和以前的就业部门对流动性有共同和个别的影响。绝对技能差异也影响流动性，技能较低的人表现出同时更换部门和职业的更大倾向。版权所有(C)2006作者；期刊编辑(C)布莱克韦尔出版有限公司和曼彻斯特大学(2006)。
The ability of workers to change job, sector or occupation and the costs associated with a reallocation of labour are the subject of lively debate among academics. This paper examines occupational and sectoral dimensions of labour mobility in the UK between 1985 and 2000 using data from the Labour Force Survey. By addressing Neal's (Journal of Labour Economics, Vol. 13 (1995), pp. 653-677) conclusion that 'future research*T*.*T*.*T*.*T*must confront the task of defining job categories that directly capture important skill specificities', we attempt to shed some light on the complex relationship between the labour market, the generality and specificity of skills and the ability of individuals to move between and within sectors as well as within and between occupations. Occupational skill specificity and previous sector of employment are shown to affect mobility jointly and individually. Absolute skill differentials also affect mobility with the less skilled exhibiting a greater propensity to change sector and occupation simultaneously.
