Socio‐Economic and Gender Differences in Post‐Secondary Pathways in the UK, Germany, and Australia
This study investigates variations in school‐to‐work transitions (SWTs) by socio‐economic status (SES), gender, and socio‐cultural context. Leveraging data from three nationally representative longitudinal panel studies, we compare the experiences of young people coming of age in the 21st century (2011 to 2023) in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. We examine the role of different support systems that scaffold the SWT process along vario…
Populist Party Support and Covid-19 Vaccination
The COVID-19 vaccination program in 2021 constituted a key public health policy measure to overcome the pandemic in Germany. However, research has identified substantial variations in vaccination uptake across social groups. Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, research has indicated that party support influences vaccination uptake, which constitutes an underexplored dimension in Germany. Based on the health belief model, research on the pop…
Study Programs, Public Rankings, and College Enrollment Intentions
Current research on college enrollment intentions predominantly focuses on the effects of individual and university characteristics, neglecting how specific study program features affect enrollment intentions. We examine three key elements in a study program: content, flexibility, and support. These elements shape individuals' beliefs about costs, benefits, and their success probability, thus affecting enrollment intentions. Understanding these i…
Two pandemic years greatly reduced young people's life satisfaction
How much did young people suffer from the COVID-19 pandemic? A growing number of studies address this question, but they often lack a comparison group that was unaffected by the pandemic, and the observation window is usually short. Here, we compared the 2-year development of life satisfaction of German high school students during COVID-19 (N = 2,698) with the development in prepandemic cohorts (N = 4,834) with a difference-in-differences design.…
Effects of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Mental Disorders on the Labor Market Integration of Young Syrian Refugees
Civil war experience in the Syrian home country, insecurity and critical life events during migration, or adverse events in the receiving country might affect refugees' mental health. This paper addresses the effects of psychological distress and mental disorders on refugees' labor market integration in Germany between 2016 and 2021. We employ survey data from about 2700 young Syrians, delivering information on individuals' experience of migratio…
Supply Shocks in the Market for Apprenticeship Training
We present a model with heterogeneous inputs and constant elasticity of substitution to examine the possible effects of a supply shock in the market for apprenticeship training. The model’s predictions are tested using data from a German high school reform that led to a one-time increase in the supply of highly educated apprentices. A difference-in-differences estimation strategy exploits regional variation in the timing of implementation, and an…
The social gradient in Covid-19 vaccination intentions and the role of solidarity beliefs among adolescents
Polarization in solidarity explains social gradients in vaccination intention. A solidarity narrative may not motivate a significant share of young individuals to be vaccinated
Health, Personality Disorders, Work Commitment, and Training‐to‐Employment Transitions
School‐to‐work transition research has persistently provided empirical evidence for the theoretical predictions of human capital, signaling, and credentialing, thereby emphasizing the importance of school performance and degree attainment for labor market entries. However, hitherto, research in this tradition has paid less attention to noncognitive and socioemotional factors. We address this gap by analyzing the influence of mental and physical h…
School-to-work transition and subjective well-being in Australia
The school-to-work transition is a demanding period during an individual's life course in all societies particularly because the educational decisions made during this period have long-lasting consequences in multiple life domains. Moreover, adverse starting points after secondary school are likely to lead to adverse outcomes that might cumulate over the life course. This study analyses subjective well-being during this sensitive period and exami…
The Impact of Pre- and Postarrival Mechanisms on Self-rated Health and Life Satisfaction Among Refugees in Germany
In this study, we focus on the evolution of refugees' well-being in the first years after their arrival in Germany. In contrast to other immigrants (e.g., labor migrants), refugees experience higher risks of unexpected and traumatic events and insecurity before and during their migration and face various legal and structural barriers in the receiving country. We contribute to the existing literature by exploring from a dynamic perspective possibl…
Social inequality in the homeschooling efforts of German high school students during a school closing period
School closings have been a key policy measure worldwide for reducing the spread of corona-virus disease (COVID-19). In Germany, federal states closed schools in mid-March and started to reopen them in late April. This policy potentially increased parental obligations for supervision and support during homeschooling and, thus, might reinforce social inequality in educational opportunities. Therefore, this research note investigates social inequal…
Vocational Education and Employment
A stylized finding on returns to vocational education is that vocational compared to general education generates a differential life course pattern of employability: while vocational education guarantees smooth transitions into the labour market and thus generates initial advantages, these erode with increasing age, leading to late-life reversals in employment chances. We contribute to this research by assessing cohort variations in life-cycle pa…
Soziale Herkunft, Lebensverlaufsereignisse und die verspätete Aufnahme einer beruflichen Ausbildung formal Geringqualifizierter
Rund ein Viertel der Sekundarstufe-I-Absolventen in Deutschland erwirbt bis zum 25. Lebensjahr keinen beruflichen Abschluss. Diese Gruppe der formal Geringqualifizierten weist ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko auf, erwerbslos zu sein, ein niedriges Einkommen zu beziehen oder eine prekäre Erwerbstätigkeit auszuüben. Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welche Faktoren formal Geringqualifizierte motivieren, ab dem 25. Lebensjahr noch eine berufliche Erst…
Geförderte Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen in Deutschland
Geförderte Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen sollen einerseits die Beschäftigungschancen der Geförderten erhöhen, andererseits aber auch dazu beitragen, den Arbeitskräftebedarf der Wirtschaft zu decken. Dieser Beitrag fasst für Deutschland empirische Evidenz zu Maßnahmen der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik zusammen, die auf die Weiterbildung und teils auch Erstausbildung der Teilnehmenden abzielen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Wirkungsanalysen auf der Mikr…
Qualifizierung im Erwerbsverlauf – Eine Chance in der Wirtschaftskrise
Konjunkturelle Schwächen im Allgemeinen und insbesondere die aktuelle Wirtschaftskrise verstärken die Frage nach öffentlich finanzierter Aus- und Weiterbildung, um Arbeitnehmer vor Arbeitslosigkeit zu schützen bzw. dabei zu helfen, den Weg in Beschäftigung zu finden. Im diesem Beitrag werden zum einen die Bedeutung von Allgemeinbildung und beruflicher Ausbildung zu Beginn der Erwerbskarriere und zum anderen die Rolle und Wirkung von Weiterbildung…
Betriebliches Ausbildungsverhalten und Geschäftserwartungen
Vor dem Hintergrund bis 2005 rückläufiger betrieblicher Ausbildungsleistung wird der Frage nach den zentralen Determinanten der Entscheidung von Betrieben, Ausbildungsplätze anzubieten, nachgegangen. Neben betriebsstrukturellen Determinanten der betrieblichen Ausbildungsentscheidung, steht die Veränderung der einzelbetrieblichen Geschäftserwartung im Mittelpunkt. Mit Einführung der Variable Geschäftserwartung werden konjunkturelle Einflüsse auf d…
