| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine whether the relationship between firm size and turnover can be accounted for in part by size-related differences in the availability, portability, or generosity of pension plans. Findings indicate that pension coverage is associated with a greater reduction in worker turnover in large firms than in small firms. Moreover, this finding persists after controlling for the type of pension. Furthermore, the negative association between employer size and labor turnover is substantially weaker among workers without pension coverage than among workers with coverage, controlling for other worker characteristics.
