Labour-market churn This figure is the five-year structural labour-market churn of surveyed employers that operate in the respective economy, region or industry, compared with the global average. Labour-market churn refers to the pace of reallocation of workers and jobs. The Future of Jobs Survey provides insight into structural labour-market churn, namely, the number of expected new jobs, plus the number of roles expected to be displaced during the period, divided by the size of the labour force in question. Structural churn disregards the ‘natural’ churn of workers moving between jobs for business or personal reasons. For more information, please refer to Appendix A.
