Abstract
This article analyses the transitions between formal and informal occupation, and non-occupation in Mexico, based on the microdata for the rotating panel of the National Occupation and Employment Survey from the first quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2017. The methodology used is based on the estimation of multi-state models. The results show great mobility in the labor market depending on the initial occupation. Regarding the explanatory factors, unpaid work has a significant impact on the risk of moving from occupation –formal or informal– to non-occupation.
