Abstract

To what extent has the changing structure of economy during the transition in Central and Eastern Europe resulted in reskilling, deskilling, or upskilling of the labour force? Using unique data from the Life in Transition Survey (2006) we find that the scale of changes in the skill-sets has been surprisingly limited. Instead, transition has resulted in a generational change: workers from declining firms and sectors exited labour market, while the young cohorts took up the jobs in the emerging sectors. Furthermore, we find that pre-retirement exists can be explained by the type of inherited skills: workers with narrower and shallower skill-sets ‘survived’ in the labour market for a considerably shorter period of time.

中东欧经济转型期间产业变革对技能的影响

中欧和东欧转型期间经济结构的变化在多大程度上导致了劳动力的技能再培训、去技能化或技能提升？利用转型期生活调查（2006 年）的独特数据，我们发现技能组合的变化规模出人意料地有限。相反，转型导致了代际更替：衰退企业和行业的工人退出劳动力市场，而年轻群体则在新兴行业就业。此外，我们还发现，退休前的存在可以用继承技能的类型来解释：拥有较窄和较浅技能组合的工人在劳动力市场上 "存活 "的时间要短得多。
