This paper outlines a general model of job changing and job loss in the youth labour-market, drawing on recent approaches in the sociology and economics of labour-markets. Empirical implications of the model are derived and tested using accelerated failure-time models applied to longitudinal data from the youth labour-market in the Republic of Ireland in the mid-1980s. The tests largely support the theoretical propositions, and the analysis also sheds light on a number of issues that have been addressed in the empirical literature on youth labour-markets, such as the segmentation of the youth labour-force and the relationship between employment instability, personal characteristics, and job characteristics
