abstract: 'We study school-to-work-transition (STWT) patterns and early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational attainment for five West German birth cohorts. Although
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these cohorts experienced very different macro conditions, their STWTs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were facilitated by Germany''s strong vocational education and training
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(VET) system. The main research question is whether linearity of STWTs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differed across and within cohorts. Linearity concerns the normatively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expected order of different activity statuses during this life phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High linearity is ideal-typically defined as entering VET or tertiary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education programs after leaving general education, followed by rather
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
direct entry into employment. Non-linear patterns diverge from this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ordering or may also include other status activities, like unemployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and inactivity. We use data of the Adult Starting Cohort of the German
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
National Education Panel Study (NEPS) and employ sequence analysis and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regression methods. Our analyses reveal that the proportion of young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
people experiencing the ideal-typical transition patterns increased over
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the cohorts. Yet, the degree of non-linearity (in terms of number of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status activities and status shifts, and some non-employment experience)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of these ideal-typical STWT patterns also increased over the cohorts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover, we find strong differences between men and women in early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational attainment. Higher-educated women in particular had higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risks of long-term disadvantage, whereas men were able to compensate for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantages by achieving higher educational attainment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
establishing themselves more quickly in the labor market. (C) 2016
