Productive absorption and structural mobility of the workforce

The changing production patterns and sluggish economic growth of the 1980s and 1990s had a considerable effect on how the workforce was absorbed into the production system and on upward structural mobility. The significant expansion of employment during the 1990s only partially met the expectation that labour would shift from lower–productivity occupational strata to higher–productivity ones. On occasions, the movement was in the opposite direction, so that the prospects for improving the living standards of the majority of the population actually deteriorated.
