2020 (English)In: Tourism Employment in Nordic Countries: Trends, Practices and Opportunities / [ed] Walmsley A., Åberg K., Blinnikka P., Jóhannesson G.T., Palgrave Macmillan, 2020, 1, p. 279-302Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

In this chapter labour mobility in the tourism industry in Sweden is investigated. A comprehensive longitudinal database on individuals is used to determine the extent of mobility in different industries, and in the tourism and hospitality sector in particular. Logistic regression is used to determine the effects of different variables (both individual and work-related factors) on the propensity of individuals to change workplace. Mobility is significantly higher in the tourism sector than other sectors, in particular in hotels and restaurants. When controlling for a number of personal and work–life-related factors these differences still remain. The findings are discussed from the perspective of structural and cultural differences between sectors, and the possibility of a “culture of mobility” in tourism and hospitality.
