Unpacking the relationship between child poverty rates and educational deprivation: The role of school social composition and public education spending
This study examines the relationship between societal child poverty and students’ risk of educational deprivation and explores the underlying mechanisms. Analyzing PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) 2018 data from 32 countries, we find a positive association that persists even after controlling for individual-level compositional differences. Public education spending, which is negatively associated with child poverty, partly ex…
Does training beget training over the life course? Cumulative advantage in work-related non-formal training participation in Germany and the UK
Continuous training participation over the career becomes ever more important. However, most existing research mainly analyzed training at single points in time. This article investigates training dynamics and hence asks the question of whether training begets training. We provide two contributions to the literature: First, we analyze if previous training participation has an effect on later participation, leading to strict cumulative advantages.…
Growing or declining penalties? A cross-temporal analysis of unemployment scars in the German labor market
We know that unemployment leaves scars. Unemployment scars are the penalties in terms of employment outcomes that workers experience due to past unemployment. To date we lack a long-term longitudinal account which examines how unemployment scarring has developed over time. The aim of this article is to fill this gap. We draw on longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel spanning a period of more than 30 years, from 1985 to 2020, and i…
Partnered women's contribution to household labor income: Persistent inequalities among couples and their determinants
A stalled revolution? What can we learn from women’s drop-out to part-time jobs: A comparative analysis of Germany and the UK
Unemployed and alone? Unemployment and social participation in Europe
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between unemployment and social participation and aim to identify the role of national policies and attitudes as possible mediators. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use the 2006 EU-SILC module on social participation – a data set that provides rich information on social participation for 22/23 EU countries. They adopt a two-step multi-level design, allowing them to direc…
Measuring the effect of institutional change on gender inequality in the labour market
Institutional reforms and age-graded labour market inequalities in Europe
This article examines how institutional change affects age-based labour market inequalities in Europe. We focus on the impact of labour regulation and of wage-setting institutions on the male population aged 25–54. Age-graded labour market inequalities within this group of prime-age individuals are hitherto under-researched. We estimate country panel regressions using data from the European Union Labour Force Survey and time-series data on instit…
What Matters in the Transition From School to Vocational Training in Germany
The German multi-tiered school system functions as an institutional mechanism which prevents students from certain social class backgrounds from fulfilling their individual learning potential. Their cognitive abilities are not transformed into corresponding school performances and credentials. Against this backdrop, we ask whether the transition from school to vocational training may enable young people with intermediate and those with lower seco…
The effect of unemployment on subsequent job quality in Europe: A comparative study of four countries
This article examines the effect of past unemployment on labour market outcomes. While previous work on unemployment scarring has predominantly focused on re-employment wages as well as subsequent employment rates, this study examines how past unemployment affects non-pecuniary job attributes of re-employed workers. Using the European Community Household Panel, it undertakes a comparative analysis of the consequences of past unemployment in four …
Skills and occupational attainment: A comparative study of Germany, Denmark and the UK
This article investigates the impact of vocational education and training on labour market outcomes in Germany, Denmark, and the UK. Using the European Community Household Panel the article analyses how workers with vocational training fare in comparison to both their untrained counterparts and those with higher levels of general education. Three outcomes are examined: wages, the odds of being in a lower-skilled job, and the odds of being in prof…
The renewed Lisbon Strategy and social exclusion policy
In the light of its manifest mid‐term failure to make progress towards its key objectives, the EU introduced in 2005 a major ‘relaunch’ of its Lisbon Strategy for economic, employment and social development. The core aspect of this was ‘prioritisation’, involving an increased focus on growth and jobs. This raised the issue of whether the pursuit of greater competitiveness would lead to a downgrading of the importance of the original social object…
Does it Work? The Effect of Continuing Training on Labour Market Outcomes: A Comparative Study of Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom
This article investigates the impact of continuing education and training for adults on labour market performance in Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. The central hypothesis is that training outcomes differ across countries, and that this heterogeneity in outcomes is due to institutional differences, which may affect the quality of the training provided. Drawing on data from the European Community Household Panel the article analyses (i) …
