abstract: 'Applying work by Green and Henseke (in IZA J Labor Policy 5(1):14,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016a), this study examines changes in the German graduate labour market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the twenty-first century. To do so, it deploys a new statistically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
derived indicator of graduate jobs, based on job skill requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
obtained from worker-reported task data in the German Employment Surveys
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006 and 2012. As in previous work, the resulting classifier explains
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in graduate labour market outcomes better than existing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
methods and can be applied in a range of contexts where intelligence on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
graduate destinations is desired. It is supplied in the appendix of this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study. Despite the expansion of higher educational attainment between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999 and 2012, my analysis indicates a rising excess demand for graduate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour. Following key findings emerge: Graduate skills are required
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
beyond the narrow range of professions. Work tasks associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cognitive skills use are key determinants of higher education
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
requirements on the job.The proportion of graduates in the age bracket
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
25-34 has risen among men from 14.7 to 18.9\% and from 13.3 to 22.5\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among women between 1999 and 2012. Young women have become the group
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with greatest level of higher education in the labour market.The growing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supply of graduate labour in the age bracket 25-34 was surpassed by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expansion of employment in graduate jobs. The employment share of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
graduate jobs shifted by 17 percentage points to almost 30\% among young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women and by 11 percentage points to 28\% among young men.Among young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
female graduates, the incidence ofunderemployment fell to 22\% between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999 and 2012; roughly comparable to the level among males at the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ages. Prime aged female graduates, however, experience above average
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rates of underemployment.A sharp rise of the pay premium associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher education among men contrasts with stagnating wage differentials
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among women.The pay penalty associated with underemployment has not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changed statistically significantly.'
