"Using EU-SILC panel data from years 2008 to 2010, this paper builds typologies of labour market sequences over the three years, using a clustering analysis algorithm. The results confirm the importance of individual characteristics (age, gender, education level) in observed labour market mobility patterns. Low-educated youth tend to be disadvantaged across the EU over the two years considered. Gender differences are mainly related to the importance of inactivity. Cross-country differences appear important in terms of medium term labour market trajectories, especially for youth. In particular, the heterogeneity across countries is the highest for low-educated youth. These differences are influenced by the labour market context, but also by the role of education system since sequences including studies are quite frequent."
