Abstract

This study aims at exploring the impacts of information access, technological skill, and socio-demographic characteristics on job mobility.  Moreover, this paper examines the directions of cross-sectional job mobility and the changes of occupational prestige in a job turnover episode.  A total of 531 householders were telephone interviewed.  The results suggest the human capital factors are important determinants on occupational attainment.  The extent of information access shows a limited impact on job mobility.  Inter-sectional job mobility is seldom happened, however, the skill-intensive labors do show a better job status and wages than those labor-intensive workers.  A declining upper class phenomena was found in the study.

 

Key words: Information access, technological skill, occupational prestige, job mobility
