Turnover and Job Tenure for Palestinian Workers, 1998-2008

Edward Sayre () and Yousef Daoud

No 578, Working Papers from Economic Research Forum

Abstract: Understanding the nature of unemployment and employment relationship has been a key research goal of economists since the inception of modern macroeconomics. However, the very policies that have been created in order to protect workers from the harm associated with unemployment were found to lengthen the duration of unemployment. Yet, these policies may also make the employment relationship for workers more stable, leading to longer job tenure. This paper examines how social protection policies affect employment stability in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. More precisely, it looks at the relationship between different characteristics of workers and job tenure from 1998 to 2008 and reflects on how these characteristics are related to the coverage rates of the Palestinian Labor Law of 2000.
