Calculate Career Transition Metrics with Duration and Salary Analysis

Analyzes career transitions incorporating contract duration expectations from survival analysis and salary progression. Identifies moves to longer-lasting contracts and salary improvements as positive career transitions.

Usage

calculate_career_transition_metrics(
  data,
  survival_data = NULL,
  id_column = "cf",
  time_period_column = NULL,
  contract_code_column = "COD_TIPOLOGIA_CONTRATTUALE",
  salary_column = NULL,
  date_column = "inizio",
  min_transition_gap = 1
)

Arguments

data

A data.table containing employment records

survival_data

Optional. Pre-computed survival analysis results with median durations by contract type. If NULL, will compute basic duration statistics.

id_column

Character. Name of person identifier column. Default: "cf"

time_period_column

Character. Optional column for grouping by time periods. Default: NULL

contract_code_column

Character. Column containing contract type codes. Default: "COD_TIPOLOGIA_CONTRATTUALE"

salary_column

Character. Column containing salary information. Default: NULL

date_column

Character. Name of date column. Default: "inizio"

min_transition_gap

Numeric. Minimum gap (days) between jobs to count as transition. Default: 1

Value

A data.table with transition metrics:

cf

Person identifier

time_period

Time period (if specified)

total_transitions

Total number of employment transitions

duration_improvements

Transitions to longer-lasting contract types

duration_deteriorations

Transitions to shorter-lasting contract types

salary_improvements

Transitions with salary increases (if salary data available)

salary_deteriorations

Transitions with salary decreases (if salary data available)

fulltime_improvements

Transitions to full-time from part-time

fulltime_deteriorations

Transitions from full-time to part-time

composite_improvement_rate

Overall rate of positive career transitions

career_advancement_index

Comprehensive career progression score

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Analyze transitions with survival data
survival_results <- estimate_contract_survival(employment_data)
transitions <- calculate_career_transition_metrics(
  data = employment_data,
  survival_data = survival_results,
  salary_column = "monthly_wage"
)
} # }
