Abstract: This paper uses meta-analysis to investigate job flows among 62 studies for 35 countries for the 1963-2007 period. The article presents the stylized facts of the literature and provides the following empirical results: 1) the industrial sector destroys more jobs and creates fewer jobs than the rest of the economy; 2) the labor markets became less flexible over time, with larger job flows after every decade; 3) the Civil Law countries have rates of job creation and net job variation higher than those Common Law countries whose rate of job destruction is higher; 4) the emerging countries presented higher rates for all flows analyzed when compared to the OECD countries and to the transition economies; 5) the developing countries showed higher rates of job creation than the developed ones; and 6) the larger the economic growth and market opening, the higher is the net rate of job creation, since the job destruction is smaller.
