Work learning is the skills and the knowledge that is generated from work practices and in exchange of information at work. While there are good reasons to fear that frequent job changers do not learn thoroughly at work, it is also conceivable that the experience of many types of jobs instead yields greater learning. Despite this issue’s significance for on-going discussions in research and policy, thorough analyses of it are surprisingly sparse. In this study, we test whether job mobility is positively or negatively associated with subsequent work learning using data from two Swedish representative datasets (LNU and PIAAC). In order to substantiate both claims, we utilize a wide array of research on human capital, job matching, labor market segmentation and learning motivation. We analyze a broad set of indicators of work learning and show that job mobility in general is associated with greater total subsequent learning than is job stability.

我应该学习还是应该转向？工作流动性对工作中后续学习的影响

工作学习是从工作实践和在工作中交换信息所产生的技能和知识。虽然有充分的理由担心频繁换工作的人不会在工作中彻底学习，但也可以想象，许多类型的工作经验反而会产生更多的学习。尽管这个问题对于正在进行的研究和政策讨论具有重要意义，但对它的彻底分析却出人意料地稀少。在这项研究中，我们使用来自两个瑞典代表性数据集（LNU 和 PIAAC）的数据来测试工作流动性与后续工作学习是否正相关或负相关。为了证实这两种说法，我们对人力资本、工作匹配、劳动力市场细分和学习动机进行了广泛的研究。
