Bildung als Investition – Berufswahl im Lichte der Humankapitalinvestition
Wenn es um die Frage von Bildungsinvestitionen geht, wird die Humankapitaltheorie nicht nur in der Ökonomie als grundlegende Theorie zitiert. Wie jede Theorie, die den Anspruch erhebt, komplexe Zusammenhänge allgemeingültig darzustellen und die zudem vielseitig anwendbar ist, stößt man bei tiefergehenden Fragestellungen an Grenzen. Zwar spielen bei der Berufswahl in jungen Jahren monetäre Faktoren eine Rolle. Bedeutender sind aber Faktoren, wie f…
It is (still) a men’s world
Poor labour market prospects due to intensive caregiving? Childcare and eldercare among welfare recipients in Germany
Despite the favourable economic situation in Germany over the last decade, the number of welfare recipients (~5 million) remained at a persistently high level. One factor limiting individuals' abilities to exit welfare dependency into employment is informal care. This article analyses two aspects of informal care: childcare, considering the number of caregivers in a given family constellation, and the amount of time spent on eldercare. A panel of…
Where do women earn more than men? Explaining regional differences in the gender pay gap
This paper provides new evidence on the magnitude and determinants of regional differences in the gender pay gap. On the basis of a comprehensive data set of all full‐time employees in Germany, we explain the profound variation of the gender pay gap at a small‐scale level with theory‐based individual and job‐related characteristics. Using the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition, we find pronounced spatial differences in the impact of the considered dete…
Early Careers of Dropouts from Vocational Training
Dropping out of post-secondary education has negative consequences for career progression. However, as human capital theory predicts and as previous studies have shown, having some training still pays off. For a large part of the European workforce who has attended vocational training, however, the theoretical predictions are less clear and empirical studies are scarce. In occupational labour markets, signalling and credentialism theories predict…
Stigma Hauptschulabschluss
Signalwirkung von Lehrabschlüssen. Einkommensunterschiede von Ausbildungsabsolventen beim Berufseinstieg
Ein Abschluss der dualen Berufsausbildung bildet für die Mehrzahl eines Schulabgängerjahrgangs die Grundvoraussetzung für einen erfolgreichen Berufseinstieg. Aufgrund der beruflichen Segmentierung des deutschen Arbeitsmarktes sind die Chancen aber nicht gleich verteilt. Bereits in der ersten Beschäftigung nach der Ausbildung sind unter den Absolventen deutliche Lohndifferenzen zu erkennen. Bildungszertifikate, wie Schulbildung, berufliche Qualifi…
