Yet, these positive developments are not reflected by the main labor market indicators, a phenomenon observed elsewhere in developed and developing economies alike and labeled as "jobless growth." For the first time for Morocco, this paper uses quarterly panel data to investigate the question of labor mobility in an effort to determine whether people have moved to better sectors and jobs. The results point to significant labor mobility between labor statuses with quite distinct features across population groups. All groups experience some form of labor market mobility every quarter and women are as mobile as men. However, the transitions that women experience are very different from the transitions than men experience and women's performance is worse than men s performance in almost all aspects of labor mobility.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGAGED WORKERSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONATTRITIONBULLETINCHRONIC UNDEREMPLOYMENTCOMPETITIVENESSCRISESDEMOGRAPHIC FACTORSDESCRIPTIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSECONOMIC SHOCKSEMPLOYMENT CREATIONEMPLOYMENT DURATIONEMPLOYMENT GROWTHEMPLOYMENT POLICIESEMPLOYMENT RATEEMPLOYMENT STATUSFEMALEFEMALE LABORFEMALESFINDING JOBSFLOW OF PEOPLEGENDERGENDER GAPGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOMEINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFLATIONINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINFORMAL SECTORINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTJOB CREATIONJOB GENERATIONJOB LOSSESJOB SEEKERSJOBLESS GROWTHJOBSLABOR ALLOCATIONLABOR CODELABOR ECONOMICSLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET INDICATORSLABOR MARKET PERFORMANCELABOR MARKET POLICIESLABOR MARKET REFORMSLABOR MARKET SITUATIONLABOR MOBILITYLABOR MOVEMENTSLABOR REALLOCATIONMALE COUNTERPARTSMARKET DEVELOPMENTSMARKET TRENDSMODERNIZATIONNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL PLANOCCUPATIONSPART-TIME EMPLOYMENTPARTICIPATION OF WOMENPLACE OF RESIDENCEPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOPULATION CHANGESPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION STATISTICSPOPULATION STRUCTUREPRICE CHANGESPRIVATE EMPLOYMENTPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPROGRESSPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC SECTOR JOBSRURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL RESIDENTSRURAL WOMENSALARIED WORKERSSERVICE SECTORSMALL ENTERPRISESSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SECURITYUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYED PEOPLEUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNPAID WORKERSURBAN AREASURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN WOMENWORKERWORKERSYOUNG PEOPLE10.1596/1813-9450-6795
