The Role of Contexts in Educational and Employment Transitions and Pathways of Young People
Young people’s educational and employment pathways are shaped by the social contexts in which they are embedded. While past research has often emphasized individual characteristics, this thematic issue highlights the decisive role of contextual factors—including regional disparities, institutional arrangements, and socio‐economic structures—in influencing opportunities and transitions. Drawing on national and comparative perspectives, the contrib…
Motivations for Adolescent Covid-19 Vaccination
Given the crucial role of vaccination in halting the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to understand the factors that motivate adolescents to get vaccinated. We surveyed adolescents and their accompanying guardians scheduled to receive a COVID-19 vaccination (Comirnaty) in an urban region in Germany in mid-2021 regarding their motivation for getting vaccinated and collected data on their sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, vaccin…
Mental Health and Health-Related Quality of Life in German Adolescents after the Third Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Evaluations after the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany showed an increase in mental health problems and a reduction in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of the study was to assess those aspects after the third wave of COVID-19 in adolescents who decided to receive a vaccination. In students aged 12-17 years recruited from schools in one German region, mental health (by the strengths and difficulties questio…
Problematic Internet Use among Adolescents 18 Months after the Onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Studies in recent years and especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic have shown a significant increase in the problematic use of computer games and social media. Adolescents having difficulties in regulating their unpleasant emotions are especially prone to Problematic Internet Use (PIU), which is why emotion dysregulation has been considered a risk factor for PIU. The aim of the present study was to assess problematic internet use…
The Interplay between Education, Skills, and Job Quality
Compared to general education, vocational education and training (VET) has been shown to facilitate young people’s integration into the labour market. At the same time, research suggests that VET falls short in teaching basic skills and, in turn, may lead to less adaptability to labour market changes and long-term disadvantages in individual labour market outcomes. To better understand the relationships between education, skills, and labour marke…
The Social Representativeness of German Party Membership
The present article empirically examines the social composition of German political party membership. In the first stage of the analysis, party members are compared with the total population and with voters. This makes it possible to identify potential deficiencies in the political representation of certain social groups. In the second stage, party membership is regressed on individual characteristics. This makes it possible to study cleavage str…
Introduction
The party membership decline experienced in Germany in the last decades raises a number of theoretical, empirical, and normative questions, a selection of which is addressed in this special issue of German Politics. In this introduction, we summarise some of the central arguments and findings presented. Although the individual articles take various perspectives and present specific insights, as a whole they allow for drawing some consequences: Fi…
The Individual-Level Determinants of Exiting German Parties
With respect to explaining declining party membership, the question who leaves political parties and why has so far been neglected. This article aims to fill this gap by applying Hirschman’s theory of “Exit, Voice, and Loyalty” to both current and former party members, and at combining it with the resource model of political participation. We find that neither individual resources nor reasons for discontent are sufficient to explain the different…

Ist Arbeit eine Pflicht?
Die Frage, ob eine „falsche“ normative Einstellung zur Arbeit zu Arbeitslosigkeit führt, wird zwar häufig diskutiert, wurde aber bisher nicht empirisch untersucht. Die Ergebnisse quantitativer Analysen weisen darauf hin, dass ein solcher Zusammenhang tatsächlich besteht: Sowohl das Eintrittsrisiko in die Arbeitslosigkeit als auch Zahl und Dauer von Arbeitslosigkeits-Phasen werden durch die Einstellung erhöht, dass Arbeit nicht – oder nur unter be…
