“More private sector employees left their company in 2022 than before the health crisis”noted an INSEE study carried out in collaboration with the management of research, studies and statistics (Dares) of the Ministry of Labor and published on June 29. In 2022, 9.7% of private sector employees joined a new employer, compared to 7.3% in 2019. The phenomenon affects all socio-professional categories and primarily concerns young people.
Other employees have joined the ranks of the self-employed (0.9%) and even those of the public sector (0.7%), in proportions which have also increased slightly compared to the pre-health crisis (respectively + 0.3 and + 0.1 point). As for those who find themselves unemployed (2.8%), this proportion decreased by 0.6 points between 2018-2019 and 2021-2022.
While the departure conditions for employees are very diverse, “the increase in employee mobility seems to be the culmination of voluntary motivations and approaches”, support the authors of the study. As proof, according to them, 24.6% of those declaring in 2021 that they wanted to find a new job had actually found it a year later, while only 8.8% of those who declared that they did not want to change jobs finally were forced to do so.
Furthermore, the stability of fixed-term employees in the company “has fallen a little less between 2018 and 2021 (– 1.1 points) than that of employees on permanent contracts (– 1.9 points). The renewed mobility of private sector employees thus particularly concerns employees initially on permanent contracts, who are usually characterized by greater stability.underline the authors of the study.
Catch-up
To explain the increase in mobility, the study highlights a catch-up phenomenon: “the period of health crisis has delayed certain mobility”. Also, “historically high recruitment difficulties” over the period and the fall in unemployment from the end of 2021 offered “more opportunities for employees to change jobs” – or allowed them to find one more quickly.
This mobility affects all sectors of activity and regions, underlines the study. However, it is a little more marked in the agri-food industries, accommodation and catering and private non-market services, which include health and social work in particular. “The increase in mobility is mainly the result of departures to other sectors of activity”note the authors.
