Abstract
In a large representative sample of young Norwegian workers, we estimate gr oss transitions to unemployment, education, and other exits in a multinomia l logit. In line with received literature, we find that individuals with hi gh education, experience, and income have significantly lower probabilities of job exits. While female education rates have increased to surpass those of males, female labour market outcomes are still more responsive to famil y related background characteristics as compared with the outcomes for male s. JEL classification: J64, J21.
