Labour Mobility of Building Graduates in Singapore
This study investigates the mobility of building graduates from the Department of Building, National University of Singapore, and the factors influencing them to remain or leave the construction industry. Labour mobility refers to occupational mobility and job change. A survey was conducted on a sample of 197 graduates from 1972 to 1999 in November 2001 using questionnaires through telephone interview and email. Graduates from 2000 and 2001 were excluded because they have just entered the job market. Building graduates from overseas universities working in Singapore were also excluded due to the lack of data. Logistic regression was then used to identify the factors affecting graduates’ decision to stay or leave the construction industry. The results show that working hours, reputation of company, prospects of industry, family commitments, and personal interest are the main factors affecting their choices.
