Berufliche Mobilität

Eine Tätigkeit, die mehr Spaß verspricht, ein höheres Gehalt oder bessere Entwicklungsperspektiven: Es gibt viele Gründe, nicht länger im erlernten oder ausgeübten Beruf tätig zu sein. Nicht immer sind sie jedoch so erfreulich: Auslöser kann auch eine Entlassung sein.

Dieses Themendossier bietet Literaturhinweise zur beruflichen Mobilitätsforschung in Deutschland und in anderen Ländern. Sie erschließt theoretische Ansätze und empirische Ergebnisse - beispielsweise zu den Fragen: Sind Berufswechsel lohnend? Für wen sind sie mit besonderen Risiken verbunden? Wie gut lassen sich bei einem beruflichen Neustart die bisher erworbenen Qualifikationen verwerten?

The role of job opportunities and qualities of places during the recent economic crisis. In: Environment and planning. A, Economy and space, Jg. 50, H. 4, S. 789-808. DOI:10.1177/0308518X18761151

    Abstract

    "This paper seeks to extend our knowledge of the drivers behind talented workers' mobility within the Spanish urban system and the patterns they may follow. For this purpose, the stock and flows of creative workers (selected on the basis of either the industry-based or occupational approaches) are studied at different spatial scales while also considering the influence of local characteristics as a source of attracting and retaining forces. The study is based on the analysis of a quite novel longitudinal micro-database from the Spanish Social Security office. Under the conditions of lower mobility of creative workers compared with other geographical contexts - a trend worsened by the economic crisis - we show that job opportunities, especially in connection with workers' social networks, emerge as the most influential attracting factor. Thus, beyond the classic idea that agglomeration economies benefit all residents, we found evidence that the biggest cities, and Madrid in particular, had become 'escalator regions', propelling the careers of young creative workers that had been attracted to them. On the contrary, the influence of urban amenities seems limited to the retention of talent. This research aims to contribute to dealing with the challenge of upgrading local productive forces after the economic crisis and to develop tailor-made talent attraction and retention strategies" (Author's abstract, © 2018 a Pion publication) ((en))

    Söhn, Janina (2018): Is it time for a change? A literature review on occupational mobility among older workers in Germany and the USA. (SOFI-Arbeitspapier 13), Göttingen, 38 S.

    Abstract

    "Mit zunehmenden Alter stellt sich für so manchen die Frage, ob sie in ihrem bisherigen Beruf bis zur Verrentung arbeiten wollen oder können. Unter welchen Umständen wechseln Individuen in ihrer mittleren und späteren Erwerbsbiografie ihren Beruf und wodurch genau zeichnen sich diese Berufswechsel aus? Dies sind die Kernfragen, die dieser Literaturbericht beantworten möchte. Berufliche Mobilität wird hier als der Wechsel des beruflichen Felds, in dem man erwerbstätig ist, verstanden. Dieser Übergang kann bezogen auf die Veränderung von Einkommen, Prestige und erforderlichem Qualifikationsniveau aufwärts, lateral oder abwärts gerichtet sein. Der Forschungsreview stellt zunächst unterschiedliche Theorien von Beruf vor, da diese auch für die Erklärung beruflicher Mobilität bedeutsam ist. Der darauffolgende Abschnitt konzeptualisiert die Multidimensionalität von Berufswechseln. Eigenschaften wie der Umfang der wöchentlichen Arbeitsstunden oder Aspekte prekärer Beschäftigung, die mit dem alten oder neuen Beruf assoziiert sind, können als Push- bzw. Pull-Faktoren fungieren. Der umfangreichste Abschnitt ist den theoretischen und empirischen Ergebnissen bisheriger Forschung zu unterschiedlichen Einflüssen auf der Mikro- und Makroebene gewidmet: Alter, Gesundheit, Bildungsniveau sowie Weiterbildung und Umschulungen im späteren Erwachsenenalter, berufsbezogene Eigenschaften, die dem Berufswechsel vorangegangene Erwerbsbiografie, Geschlecht und haushaltbezogene Faktoren, ethnische und migrationsbezogene Entwicklungen seit Anfang der 2000er, welche das Auftreten von Berufswechslern befördert haben. Die meiste empirische Forschung bezieht sich auf die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und auf Deutschland, weshalb dieser Literaturüberblick zu einem gewissen Grad international vergleichend angelegt ist. Angesichts der gravierenden Forschungslücken zu beruflicher Mobilität unter älteren Erwerbstätigen in der Bundesrepublik im letzten Jahrzehnt präsentiert der Review eigene, nach Alter, Geschlecht und Bildungsniveau differenzierte Auswertungen des Mikrozensus 2012 zum Anteil von Erwerbstätigen, die im vorangegangenen Jahr ihren Beruf gewechselt haben. Das Schlusskapitel fasst die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse und verbleibende Forschungslücken zusammen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    The spatial dimension of internal labor markets (2018)

    Tavares, Marisa, Anabela Carneiro & José Varejão (2018): The spatial dimension of internal labor markets. In: Journal of regional science, Jg. 58, H. 1, S. 181-203. DOI:10.1111/jors.12353

    Abstract

    "We integrate into a unified framework the spatial and the employment dimensions of worker mobility, tracing workers across firms, across establishments, and across regions. Drawing upon the spatial dimension of internal labor markets in firms with multiple establishments in multiple locations, our results indicate that the contemporaneous wage premium to migration is around 3 percentage points. For the case of job switchers, we find that the return to regional migration is due to access to better jobs at the destination. We also document the existence of an urban premium for same-employer migrants but for employer changes this premium is driven by selection."

    Bachmann, Rüdiger, Christian Bayer, Christian Merkl, Stefan Seth, Heiko Stüber & Felix Wellschmied (2017): Worker churn and employment growth at the establishment level. (CEPR discussion paper 12343), London, 30 S.

    Abstract

    "We study the relationship between employment growth and worker flows in excess of job flows (churn) at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975 - 2014. Churn is above 5 percent of employment along the entire employment growth distribution and most pronounced at rapidly-adjusting establishments. We find that the patterns of churn along the employment growth distribution can be explained by separation rate shocks and time-to-hire frictions. These shocks become larger on average during boom periods leading to procyclical worker churn. Distinguishing between separations into non-employment and to other establishments, we find that separations to other establishments drive all procyclical churn. In a secondary contribution, we compare German worker and job flows with their US counterparts and recent US findings." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Occupational mobility in Europe: Extent, determinants and consequences (2017)

    Bachmann, Ronald, Peggy Bechara & Christina Vonnahme (2017): Occupational mobility in Europe: Extent, determinants and consequences. (Ruhr economic papers 732), Essen, 27 S.

    Abstract

    "We examine occupational mobility and its link to wage mobility across a large number of EU countries using worker-level micro data. In doing so, we document the extent, the individual-level determinants and the consequences of occupational mobility in terms of wage outcomes and structural change across the EU. In addition, we identify potential explanations for the observed cross-country variation. Our results show that on average, 3% of European workers change their occupation per year, and that the extent of occupational mobility differs strongly by country. Individual characteristics play an important role for person-specific occupational mobility, but have little explanatory power for differences between countries. Occupational mobility is strongly associated with earnings mobility, and occupation movers are more likely than job movers to experience a downward rather than an upward earnings transition; by contrast, changing occupation voluntarily is more often followed by an upward wage transition. As opposed to composition effects, labour-market institutions, especially employment protection legislation, seem to play an important role for explaining crosscountry differences in occupational mobility."

    Abstract

    "Using a unique new survey, we study the relationship between search effort and outcomes for employed and non-employed workers. We find that the employed fare better than the non-employed in job search: they receive more offers per application and are offered higher pay even after controlling for observable characteristics. We use an on-the-job search model with endogenous search effort and find that unobserved heterogeneity explains less than a third of the residual wage offer differential. The model calibrated using various moments from our survey provides a good fit to the data and implies a reasonable flow value of unemployment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

(Eurofound research report / European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions), Dublin, 62 S. DOI:10.2806/145355

    Abstract

    "This study investigates employment and occupational mobility in Europe before and after the 2008 financial crisis, with the aim of linking individual-level employment transitions to the broad labour market developments during the crisis, such as the surge in unemployment and the phenomenon of job polarisation. The analysis compares six European countries that represent different institutional clusters - France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK. It tracks the transitions of their working age populations into and out of inactivity, unemployment and employment (in five wage categories). The study seeks to better understand what happened to workers who lost their jobs during the recession, beyond the headline unemployment statistics. Did they find other work and, if so, was it better or worse paid? Were opportunities for upward occupational mobility affected by the crisis? The findings show that the countries studied fall into three distinct categories based on the degree of occupational mobility characterising their economies. An executive summary is available - see Related content." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Retirement plan type and employee mobility: the role of selection and incentive effects (2017)

    Goda, Gopi Shah, Damon Jones & Colleen Flaherty Manchester (2017): Retirement plan type and employee mobility. The role of selection and incentive effects. In: The Journal of Human Resources, Jg. 52, H. 3, S. 654-679. DOI:10.3368/jhr.52.3.0315-6997R1

    Abstract

    "Relative to defined benefit (DB) plans, defined contribution (DC) plans have been linked to greater employee mobility. Because employees with different underlying mobility tendencies may sort across plans or firms, the relationship between plan type and mobility may be due to selection. We identify the role of selection by exploiting a natural experiment at an employer, in which the transition from a DB to a DC pension plan was affected by default rules. Using the default assignment as a source of exogenous variation in plan enrollment, we find that employees with higher mobility tendencies self-select into the DC plan."

    Who moves up the job ladder? (2017)

    Abstract

    "In this paper, we use linked employer-employee data to study the reallocation of heterogeneous workers between heterogeneous firms. We build on recent evidence of a cyclical job ladder that reallocates workers from low productivity to high productivity firms through job-to-job moves. In this paper we turn to the question of who moves up this job ladder, and the implications for worker sorting across firms. Not surprisingly, we find that job-to-job moves reallocate younger workers disproportionately from less productive to more productive firms. More surprisingly, especially in the context of the recent literature on assortative matching with on-the-job search, we find that job-to-job moves disproportionately reallocate less-educated workers up the job ladder. This finding holds even though we find that more educated workers are more likely to work with more productive firms. We find that while more educated workers are less likely to match to low productivity firms, they are even less likely to separate from them, with less educated workers both more likely to separate to a better employer in expansions and to be shaken off the ladder (separate to nonemployment) in contractions. Our findings underscore the cyclical role job-to-job moves play in matching workers to higher productivity and better paying employers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Based on a novel class scheme and a unique compilation of German and American data, this book reveals that intergenerational class mobility increased over most of the past century. While country differences in intergenerational mobility are surprisingly small, gender, regional, racial and ethnic differences were initially large but declined over time. At the end of the 20th century, however, mobility prospects turned to the worse in both countries. In light of these findings, the book develops a narrative account of historical socio-political developments that are likely to have driven the basic resemblances across countries but also account for the initial decline and the more recent increase in intergenerational inequality."

    Abstract

    "Law continues to be an attractive career path for women. Yet evidence shows that women's careers in law stagnate with proportionally small numbers of women progressing up the hierarchy from law graduate to partner. In this study we investigated how gendering and class processes impact on women's career progression. A major contribution is that we explored the heterogeneous views held by women below and above the partnership line, in Auckland's top law firms. Drawing on Acker's gendering processes (1990, 2006a) plus the accumulation of appropriate capitals needed to progress, we analysed 52 interview accounts. The women lawyers themselves were divided on how gendering and class processes impact on their career progression. Women partners accepted the hierarchical employment model of law and were confident in their role and place. Women below the partner line, while frustrated by the personal and professional requirements for success, did not demonstrate agency for change. In concluding, we reflect on the potential for change in the profession." (Author's abstract, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Die vorliegende Studie bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Durchlässigkeit der Arbeitsmärkte in Europa, indem sie die Mobilität individueller Arbeitnehmer analysiert, sowohl in Bezug auf Übergänge zwischen Arbeitsmarktzuständen und Vertragstypen (befristet/unbefristet) als auch in Bezug auf Wechsel des Berufs und Lohnmobilität. Diese Übergänge und Wechsel sind vor allem aus zwei Gründen von Bedeutung: Einerseits übt die Durchlässigkeit des Arbeitsmarktes einen außerordentlich wichtigen Einfluss auf das Wohlergehen des individuellen Arbeitnehmers aus; andererseits bedingt sie die Anpassungsfähigkeit der Wirtschaft bspw. während einer Krise oder im Aufschwung nach einer Krise. In diesem Zusammenhang spielt die Nachhaltigkeit von Beschäftigung eine bedeutende Rolle, wobei Beschäftigung als nachhaltig betrachtet wird, wenn sie relativ hohe Stabilität und Aufstiegschancen bietet."

    Intergenerational mobility in the very long run: Florence 1427-2011 (2016)

    Abstract

    "We examine intergenerational mobility in the very long run, across generations that are six centuries apart. We exploit a unique dataset containing detailed information at the individual level for all people living in the Italian city of Florence in 1427. These individuals have been associated, using their surnames, with their pseudo-descendants living in Florence in 2011. We find that earnings elasticity is about 0.04, much higher than predicted by traditional models of intergenerational mobility. We also find an even stronger role for real wealth inheritance and evidence of persistence in belonging to certain elite professions. Our results are confirmed when we account for the quality of the pseudo-links and when we address the potential selectivity bias due to the differential survival rates across surnames. We argue that the quasi-immobility of preindustrial society and the positional advantages in the access to certain professions might explain (in part) the long-lasting effects of ancestors' socioeconomic status."

    Abstract

    "Using quarterly data for the U.K. from 1993 through 2012, we document that the extent of worker reallocation across occupations or industries (a career change, in the parlance of this paper) is high and procyclical. This holds true after controlling for workers┐ previous labour market status and for changes in the composition of who gets hired over the business cycle. Our evidence suggests that a large part of this reallocation reflect excess churning in the labour market. We also find that the majority of career changes come with wage increases. During the economic expansion wage increases were typically larger for those who change careers than for those who do not. During the recession this is not true for career changers who were hired from unemployment. Our evidence suggests that understanding career changes over the business cycle is important for explaining labour market flows and the cyclicality of wage growth."

    Abstract

    "This study investigates patterns of movement from self-employment to wage employment or to unemployment in Belgium. Non-parametric techniques and complimentary log-log analyses are used to determine the significance of stable individual traits (e.g. gender) and of time-dependent characteristics (e.g. family and organizational context, labour market mobility) in moving back to wage employment or to unemployment. Evidence is provided on the possibility of entrepreneurship acting as a 'steppingstone' between long-term unemployment and paid work. Yet, significant relationships also emerge between ex-ante time spent in unemployment and the possibility of continued unemployment upon self-employment exit." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This research note takes an occupational attainment approach to examining the economic assimilation of immigrants in Australia. This approach differs from much of the existing literature, which tends to examine economic assimilation by looking at levels of (un)employment or wages. Focusing on occupational attainment is useful, in that disadvantage in the labour market is not limited to employment status and earnings, and an individual's occupation may provide a broader signal of their economic and social well-being. Findings indicate that, on arrival, immigrants from a non-English speaking background face significant disadvantage in occupational attainment, particularly those from Asian countries. There is also evidence to suggest that those who arrive later in life, or are from an Asian non-English speaking background, are the least likely to assimilate over time. Results are indicative of the need for policies to better integrate immigrants from more diverse cultures and societies into the Australian labour market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This paper provides comprehensive cross-country evidence on the relationship between earnings inequality and intra-generational mobility by simulating individual earnings and employment trajectories in the long-term using short panel data for 24 OECD countries. On average across countries, about 25% of earnings inequality in a given year evens out over the life cycle as a result of mobility. Moreover, mobility is not systematically higher in countries with more earnings inequality in general. However, a positive and statistically significant relationship is found only in the bottom of the distribution. This reflects the role of mobility between employment and unemployment and not that of mobility up and down the earnings ladder." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Why is unemployment higher for younger individuals? We address this question in a frictional model of the labor market that features learning about occupational fit. In order to learn the occupation in which they are most productive, workers sample occupations over their careers. Because young workers are more likely to be in matches that represent a poor occupational fit, they spend more time in transition between occupations. Through this mechanism, our model can replicate the observed age differences in unemployment which, as in the data, are due to differences in job separation rates."

    Abstract

    "Demographic ageing poses the challenge of how to keep people in employment for longer without negatively affecting their health and well-being. The solutions are particularly critical for workers engaged in arduous work. This report examines how mid-career reviews can play a key role by clarifying workers' options for remaining in work until a later retirement age. Following an exploration of career trajectories and transitions, the report focuses on arduous jobs: their incidence across Europe and the implications of such work for career and work sustainability. It examines various tools and strategies used by public authorities and social partners to keep workers in arduous jobs in employment longer. Finally, three case studies - from Belgium, France and the UK - of mid-career reviews undertaken either as pilot projects or as a legislative reform are presented" (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

More specifically, adopting several psychological perspectives, this study addresses professional transitions and career pathways and personal experiences – particularly in terms of well-being – of employed and unemployed middle-aged adults (25–55 years) living in Switzerland. Furthermore, based on the first wave of data (N = 2469), we introduce some results concerning, amongst others, the predictors of the choice of the mode to complete the questionnaire and of the intention to participate in the next wave, and possible differences on vulnerability indicators with reference to personal characteristics, resources and professional situation. Finally, considering the procedure implemented and the results emerging from this first wave, we discuss several implications and challenges for the next waves."

    Abstract

    "In Österreich unterscheiden sich die Zugangsmöglichkeiten und der Einstieg in das Lehramtsstudium für Berufsschulpädagogik grundlegend von den Lehrämtern der Primar- und Sekundarstufe des Allgemeinbildenden Schulwesens. Zukünftige Berufsschullehrerinnen werden zumeist als Quereinsteigerinnen direkt von den Berufsschulen angestellt und absolvieren die Lehramtsausbildung sowohl berufsbegleitend (1. und 3. Studienjahr) als auch vollzeitschulisch (2. Studienjahr) an den Pädagogischen Hochschulen Wien, Graz, Linz oder Innsbruck. Sowohl in der didaktisch-methodischen Ausbildung als auch bei den Berufswahlmotiven sind demzufolge Antagonismen zu finden. Der nachfolgende Artikel führt im einleitenden Abschnitt diese Unterschiedlichkeiten weiter aus. Anschließend werden die Ergebnisse einer empirischen Untersuchung präsentiert, bei der rund 160 angehender Berufsschullehrerinnen, die zumeist mehr als zehn Jahre Berufspraxis in die Lehramtsausbildung mitbringen, zu ihren Berufswahlmotiven sowie zu ihrer Zufriedenheit mit der Berufswahl befragt wurden. Im Fazit werden Resultate mit Blick auf künftige Auswahlmaßnahmen und mögliche berufsbegleitende Coaching- und Fading-Maßnahmen diskutiert." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

    Nawakitphaitoon, Kritkorn & Russell Ormiston (2016): The estimation methods of occupational skills transferability. In: Journal for labour market research, Jg. 49, H. 4, S. 317-327., 2016-09-21. DOI:10.1007/s12651-016-0216-y

    Abstract

    "Dieser Beitrag vergleicht zwei Methoden zur Einschätzung der Übertragbarkeit beruflicher Kompetenzen sowohl in theoretischer als auch empirischer Hinsicht. Die erste Methode basiert auf der Studie von Shaw (1984), die zweite auf der Studie von Ormiston (2014). Der Hauptunterschied zwischen den beiden dort verwendeten Methoden liegt darin, dass die Übertragbarkeit der Kompetenzen nach Shaw ein 'marktorientierter' Ansatz ist. Die Bewertung erfolgt anhand eines tatsächlichen Berufswechsels. Die Übertragbarkeit der Kompetenzen nach Ormiston hingegen ist ein 'kompetenzorientierter' Ansatz, der auf der Grundlage von Wissen, Kompetenzen und Fähigkeiten über Beschäftigungen hinweg bewertet wird.
    Obwohl diese beiden Ansätze sehr verschiedene Einschätzungen der Übertragbarkeit beruflicher Kompetenzen liefern, erklären beide Methoden wirkungsvoll die Einkommensverluste der freigesetzten Arbeitskräfte. Insbesondere haben freigesetzte Arbeitskräfte, die Beschäftigungen finden, die, gemessen an der Übertragbarkeit beruflicher Kompetenzen, ihren früheren Beschäftigungen stärker ähneln, im Durchschnitt geringere Einkommensverluste als diejenigen, die weniger ähnliche Beschäftigungen finden."

    Rodrigues, Ricardo, David Guest & Alexandra Budjanovcanin (2016): Bounded or boundaryless? An empirical investigation of career boundaries and boundary crossing. In: Work, employment and society, Jg. 30, H. 4, S. 669-686. DOI:10.1177/0950017015570726

    Abstract

    "The article argues that the long-running debate between organizationally bounded and boundaryless careers has been too narrow and neglects the variety and distinctive characteristics of career boundaries. Drawing on boundary theory, it investigates the main career-relevant domains and boundaries, and the motivations and structural conditions that influence boundary crossing or having a career within a specific domain among a sample of professional pharmacists. The qualitative study shows that careers are enacted within a number of relevant domains and are shaped by a range of boundaries such that boundarylessness and embeddedness are co-existing career dimensions. It also reveals how even within a professional population careers are embedded within diverse social and cultural contexts that impose differing constraints on career mobility. The article therefore provides a fuller, more nuanced understanding of career boundaries and contemporary careers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    The impact of education on intergenerational occupational mobility in Spain (2016)

    Ruiz, Antonio Caparrós (2016): The impact of education on intergenerational occupational mobility in Spain. In: Journal of vocational behavior, Jg. 92, H. February, S. 94-104. DOI:10.1016/j.jvb.2015.11.010

    Abstract

    "Intergenerational occupational mobility is a topic that has attracted considerable interest in the sociological and economic literature for developed countries. In particular, one of the central issues in political debate is the role of education on the intergenerational social mobility. The modern capitalist economies are characterised by continual technological changes which lead to the need of a highly skilled workforce. In this potentially meritocratic society, the equality of opportunities, the efficient allocation of talent and the education can be instruments that encourage the social mobility and decrease the effect of the parents' economic status on the career of their children. This paper takes into account these facts and sheds empirical evidence for Spain about the relationships between social origin, educational attainment and occupational destination. The methodology applied consists of the specification and estimation of discrete choice models, and the empirical analysis is based on data provided by the Living Condition Survey (LCS) conducted for the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE)."

    Abstract

    "This paper addresses the rarely studied relationship between job vacancies and inter-firm upward, lateral, and downward status mobility in an occupationally segmented labor market, taking Switzerland as the example. To conceptualize mobility mechanisms in this type of labor market, we introduce the concept of 'occupational mobility chains' and test its validity. This concept provides the backdrop for developing time-dependent measures of individual job opportunities based on Swiss Job Monitor data. We link these measures with career data taken from the Swiss Life History Study and employ event history analysis to test different propositions of the ways in which status mobility is contingent on the number and the status of vacant positions. Results support our assumption that in occupationally segmented labor markets vacant positions affect status mobility only to the degree that they are located within workers' occupational mobility chains."

    Amior, Michael (2015): Why are higher skilled workers more mobile geographically? The role of the job surplus. (CEP discussion paper 1338), London, 58 S.

    Abstract

    "The skill gap in geographical mobility is entirely driven by workers who report moving for a new job. A natural explanation lies in the large expected surplus accruing to skilled job matches. Just as large surpluses ease the frictions which impede job search in general, they also help overcome those frictions (specifically moving costs) which plague cross-city matching in particular. I reject the alternative hypothesis that mobility differences are driven by variation in the moving costs themselves, based on PSID evidence on self-reported willingness to move. Evidence on wage processes also supports my claims." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Is there a relationship between family income inequality and income mobility across generations in the United States? As family income inequality rose in the United States, parental resources available for improving children's health, education, and care diverged. The amount and rate of divergence also varied across US states. Researchers and policy analysts have expressed concern that relatively high inequality might be accompanied by relatively low mobility, tightening the connection between individuals' incomes during childhood and adulthood. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, and various government sources, this paper exploits state and cohort variation to estimate the relationship between inequality and mobility. Results provide very little support for the hypothesis that inequality shapes mobility in the United States. The inequality children experienced during youth had no robust association with their economic mobility as adults. Formal analysis reveals that offsetting effects could underlie this result. In theory, mobility-enhancing forces may counterbalance mobility-reducing effects. In practice, the results suggest that in the US context, the intergenerational transmission of income may not be very responsive to changes in inequality." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Berufsorientierte Bildungssysteme sind auf die Vermittlung von spezialisierten beruflichen Qualifikationen ausgelegt. Werden diese nach Abschluss einer beruflichen Grundbildung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt wenig nachgefragt, riskieren die Absolventen, die erworbenen berufsspezifischen Qualifikationen nicht verwerten zu können. Dies trifft nicht nur zu, wenn Arbeitsmarkteinsteiger arbeitslos werden, sondern auch, wenn sie den Beruf wechseln müssen. Für die drei verschiedenen Optionen des Arbeitsmarkteinstiegs - Arbeit im erlernten Beruf, Berufswechsel und Arbeitslosigkeit - wird erstens untersucht, welche Bedeutung das individuell passende und das fachfremde Stellenangebot hat. Zweitens wird analysiert, wie eine unterschiedlich ausgeprägte Nachfrage nach fachspezifischen Qualifikationen die Bedeutung ausbildungsbezogener und individueller Merkmale für den Berufseinstieg verändert. Die Schweiz mit ihrem berufsorientierten Bildungssystem und berufsfachlich segmentieren Arbeitsmarkt dient als empirische Referenz. Die multinominalen logistischen Regressionsmodelle basieren auf den Daten des Schweizer Jugendpanels PISA2000/TREE. Die Individualdaten von Lehrabgänger werden auf Berufsebene, zeitpunkt- und regionsspezifisch mit dem individuell passenden und fachfremden Stellenangebot verknüpft, das auf den Stelleninseratendaten des Stellenmarktmonitors Schweiz (SMM) beruht. Dank dieser Verknüpfung von Angebot und Nachfrage nach beruflichen Qualifikationen auf der Mikroebene kann zum ersten Mal die grundlegende Bedeutung der Personalnachfrage für den Berufseinstieg nachgewiesen werden."

    Abstract

    "In this paper we use the unusually large sample size of the Great British Class Survey to compare rates of social mobility into different elite occupations. We find a distinction between 'traditional' professions, such as law, medicine and finance, which are dominated by the children of higher managers and professionals, and technical or emerging high-status occupations, particularly those related to IT, that appear to recruit more widely. Second, we find that even when the upwardly mobile are successful in entering elite occupations they invariably fail to accumulate the same economic, cultural and social capital as those from privileged backgrounds. While many such differences may be explained by inheritance, we also find that the mobile tend to have considerably lower incomes. Investigating this further we demonstrate that even when controlling for important variables such as schooling, education, location, age, and cultural and social capital, the upwardly mobile in eight occupations - located largely in the business sector - have considerably lower incomes than their higher-origin colleagues. These findings underline the value of analyses of mobility into specific high-status occupations as well as illustrating how, beyond entry, the mobile often face considerable disadvantage within occupations."

    Abstract

    "Using administrative panel data on the entire Danish population we document a new set of facts characterizing occupational mobility. For most occupations, mobility is U-shaped and directional: not only low but also high wage earners within an occupation have a particularly large probability of leaving their occupation, and the low (high) earners tend to switch to new occupations with lower (higher) average wages. Exceptions to this pattern of two-sided selection are occupations with steeply rising (declining) productivity, where mainly the lower (higher) paid workers within this occupation tend to leave. The facts conflict with several existing theories that are used to account for endogeneity in occupational choice, but it is shown analytically that the patterns are explained consistently within a theory of vertical sorting under absolute advantage that includes learning about workers' abilities."

    Abstract

    "This paper examines the sources of the decline in self-employment among near-retirees over 1994 - 2012. Using Current Population Survey data, tabulations imply that the decline was driven by an increase in the exit rate to wage and salary employment, a decline in the rate of self-employment among new entrants into this age cohort, and an increase in the share of these new entrants. Multinomial logits suggest that health insurance coverage and after-tax prices of health insurance were significantly associated with these three rates. However, counterfactual simulations suggest that only the changes in after-tax prices of health insurance were found to appreciably influence the trends in these rates, though in the opposite direction of the actual declining trend for the rate of self-employment of new entrants."

    Abstract

    "Tax records indicate that intergenerational mobility (IM) has been stable for cohorts entering the labor market since the 1990s. I show that when using educational attainment as a proxy for adult income, stable IM is a new phenomenon: IM rose significantly for cohorts entering the labor market from 1940 to 1980. I measure IM directly in historical Census data for children still living with their parents at ages 22-25, and indirectly for other children using an imputation procedure that I validate in multiple data sets with parent-child links spanning the full 1940-2000 period. Post-war mobility gains were larger in the South and for blacks, and were driven by gains in high school rather than college enrollment. Controlling for region and year, states with higher IM have had lower income inequality, higher income levels, more educational inputs, higher minimum dropout ages, and lower teen birth rates. IM gains plausibly increased aggregate annual earnings growth by 0.125-0.25 percentage points over the 1940-1980 period." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Academic research on social mobility from the 1960s until now has made several facts clear. First, and most important, it is better to ask how the conditions and circumstances of early life constrain adult success than to ask who is moving up and who is not. The focus on origins keeps the substantive issues of opportunity and fairness in focus, while the mobility question leads to confusing side issues. Second, mobility is intrinsically symmetrical; each upward move is offset by a downward move in the absence of growth, expansion, or immigration. Third, social origins are not a single dimension of inequality that can be paired with the outcome of interest (without significant excluded variable bias); they are a comprehensive set of conditions describing the circumstances of youth. Fourth, the constraints of social origins vary by time, place, and subpopulation. These four 'knowns' should inform any attempt to collect new data on mobility." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This article analyses the early career occupational mobility of people from a Turkish or Moroccan descent in Flanders (Belgium). Previous research showed that second generation migrants are less successful than natives when entering the labour market. We compare the progress in socio-economic status (SES) that youngsters of native and non-native descent make from their first to later jobs at the start of their career. Both second-generation immigrants and native majority young adults experience upward occupational mobility during this crucial phase of their occupational career. The gap between native and ethnic minority youth, however, does not narrow over the course of the years. The first job offers less SES for non-natives compared to that of natives, and the minority-native gap in occupational attainment remains constant afterwards. The future career is largely determined by the characteristics of the start of the occupational career, and educational attainment even before. Promising, however, might be the finding that a first job with a relative low occupational status does offer better opportunities for Turkish and Moroccan second-generation migrants than for native majority youth to do some catching up later on. In combination with a long-term negative impact of initial unemployment, ethnic minority youth perhaps are best off with starting to work as soon as possible after school leaving."

    Wage risk and the value of job mobility in early employment careers (2015)

    Liu, Kai (2015): Wage risk and the value of job mobility in early employment careers. (IZA discussion paper 9256), Bonn, 47 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper shows that job mobility is a valuable channel which employed workers use to mitigate bad labor market shocks. I construct and estimate a model of wage dynamics jointly with a dynamic model of job mobility. The key feature of the model is the specification of wage shocks at the worker- firm match level, for workers can respond to these shocks by changing jobs. The model is estimated using a sample of young male workers from the 1996 panel of Survey of Income and Program Participation. The first result is that the variance of match-level shocks is large, and the consequent value of job mobility is substantial. The second result is that true wage risk is almost three times as large as the wage variance observed after job mobility, which is what other papers in the literature have called wage risk. This suggests a very different picture of the risks facing employed workers in the labor market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    "This study draws from the 1979 and 1997 National Longitudinal Survey to compare patterns of wage mobility among the late boomer and millennial cohorts of young men. Estimating group-based trajectory models, the authors find that fewer men enjoyed rapid wage growth and more men fell into the steady and stagnant wage-trajectory groups. Furthermore, employment patterns in the new economy (e.g., changing employers, more part-time employment, and employment in low-end service occupations) increasingly determine the mobility rates of millennials compared with boomers and are stronger predictors of mobility chances in the millennial cohort than are family background and cognitive skills."

    Abstract

    "Scholarly investigations of intergenerational mobility typically focus on either the occupations of fathers and sons or their incomes. Using an identical sample of fathers and sons, we examine how estimates of intergenerational mobility in income and occupational prestige are affected by (1) measurement that uses long time averages and (2) varying the point in the life cycle when outcomes are measured. We find that intergenerational occupational mobility is overstated when using a single year of fathers' occupation compared to a 10-year average centered on mid-career. We also find that for both income and occupation, mobility estimates are largest when sons are in their mid-career, suggesting that this may be the ideal period in which to measure their status. Finally, we see differences in the pattern of estimates across the two types of measures: for income, estimates of intergenerational persistence are highest when fathers are in their mid-career; for occupation, estimates are much larger when fathers' occupations are accounted for late in their careers."

    Abstract

    "Do apprenticeships convey mainly general or also firm- and occupation-specific human capital? Specific human capital may allow for specialization gains, but may also lead to allocative inefficiency due to mobility barriers. We analyse the case of Switzerland, which combines a comprehensive, high-quality apprenticeship system with a lightly regulated labour market. To assess human capital transferability after standardized firm-based apprenticeship training, we analyse inter-firm and occupational mobility and their effects on post-training wages. Using a longitudinal data set based on the PISA 2000 survey, we find high inter-firm and low occupational mobility within one year after graduation. Accounting for endogenous changes, we find a negative effect of occupation changes on wages, but no significant wage effect for firm changes. This indicates that occupation-specific human capital is an important component of apprenticeship training and that skills are highly transferable within an occupational field."

    The anatomy of job polarisation in the UK (2015)

    Salvatori, Andrea (2015): The anatomy of job polarisation in the UK. (IZA discussion paper 9193), Bonn, 53 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper presents new evidence on the evolution of job polarisation over time and across skill groups in the UK between 1979 and 2012. The UK has experienced job polarisation in each of the last three decades, with growth in top jobs always exceeding that in bottom ones. Overall, top occupations have gained over 80% of the employment shares lost by middling occupations. The decline of middling occupations is entirely accounted for by non-graduates who have seen their relative numbers decrease and the distribution of their employment shift towards the bottom of the occupational skill distribution. The increase at the top is entirely accounted for by compositional changes, as a result of the increase in the number of graduates since the 1990s. Employment has not polarised for graduates, but has become less concentrated in top occupations, especially in the 2000s. The paper also documents that job polarisation has not been matched by wage polarisation across the occupational distribution in any decade and discusses how these new findings relate to the existing evidence for the US and to the prevailing technology-based explanation for job polarisation. Overall, the importance of occupational changes between skill groups and the performance of occupational wages over time cast doubts on the role of technology as the main driver of polarisation in the UK. In particular, the evidence suggests that supply-side changes are likely to be important factors in explaining why high-skill occupations continued to grow in the 2000s even as they stalled in the US."

    "This study focuses on the employment difficulties of older workers in the Israeli labor market. Using administrative panel data for the years 2005 - 2010, it traces the employment transitions of workers and their consequences, focusing on age and gender differences. The findings show that in Israel older workers, men and women alike, are indeed less likely to leave their jobs. However, once out of the labor force, they face difficulties in finding new employment. These difficulties are severer for women than for men. Male workers who experience high instability experience job losses, with no substantial age differences. The wage penalties for women are much lower, probably because of their limited opportunities in terms of earnings." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Dazu schreibt SPIEGEL ONLINE mit Bezug auf den OECD-Bericht: 'Befristete Jobs können zwar sinnvoll sein, indem sie jungen Menschen den Einstieg ins Berufsleben erleichtern. Oft sind sie aber auch mit gravierenden Nachteilen verbunden, wie die OECD ausführt: In vielen Fällen können befristet Beschäftigte ihre Fähigkeiten nicht voll in die Arbeit einbringen. Wer einen Zeitvertrag hat, hat auch geringere Chancen, an einer Weiterbildung teilzunehmen. Im schlimmsten Fall können durch die Befristungen daher Kompetenzen verkümmern, warnt die Organisation.'
    Vor diesem Hintergrund ist eine genauere Beleuchtung der Arbeitsmarktsituation für junge Beschäftigte notwendig, und es stellt sich die Frage, welche Konsequenzen die Bundesregierung daraus zieht.
    Falls zu den genannten Altersgruppen keine Daten vorliegen, wird gebeten, die vorhandenen Daten zu ähnlichen oder vergleichbaren Altersgruppen anzugeben." (Textauszug, IAB-Doku)

    Abstract

    "Using EU-SILC panel data from years 2008 to 2010, this paper builds typologies of labour market sequences over the three years, using a clustering analysis algorithm. The results confirm the importance of individual characteristics (age, gender, education level) in observed labour market mobility patterns. Low-educated youth tend to be disadvantaged across the EU over the two years considered. Gender differences are mainly related to the importance of inactivity. Cross-country differences appear important in terms of medium term labour market trajectories, especially for youth. In particular, the heterogeneity across countries is the highest for low-educated youth. These differences are influenced by the labour market context, but also by the role of education system since sequences including studies are quite frequent." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Labor market intermediaries make the world smaller (2014)

    Gianelle, Carlo (2014): Labor market intermediaries make the world smaller. In: Journal of Evolutionary Economics, Jg. 24, H. 5, S. 951-981. DOI:10.1007/s00191-014-0373-5

    Abstract

    "This paper uses network analysis to study how employment intermediaries have influenced inter-firm worker mobility in a region of Italy, in response to a 1997 reform that introduced temporary employment agencies. Worker reallocations from a matched employer-employee dataset are mapped onto a directed graph where the vertices are firms and the links denote transfers of workers between firms. Temporary employment agencies significantly improve network integration and practicability, while rapidly increasing the control over mobility channels. The trade off inherent in intermediation activity is captured and discussed. The potential of network analysis as a tool for monitoring regional labor markets is highlighted."

    Should I stay or should I go?: an investigation of graduate regional mobility in the UK and its impact upon early career earnings (2014)

    Abstract

    "This paper uses HESA data from the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education survey 2003/04 to examine whether more mobile students in terms of choice of institution and location of employment earn more than those who are less mobile. The clear finding is that mobility is associated with superior earnings outcomes, but principally through mobility as it relates to students extending their horizon of job search. A bivariate probit analysis also confirms that there is a positive relationship between regional mobility both in the choice of attending university and the choice of where to take up employment."

    Stay or leave?: race, education, and changing returns to the external labor market strategy, 1976 - 2009 (2014)

    Abstract

    "Since the 1970s, firm-internal opportunities for advancement have waned, and more employees have switched employers to build their career. The author compares the effect of staying and leaving one's employer and how each career avenue reproduces or alleviates race-based earnings inequality. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics 1976 - 2009, the author finds that racial differences among women are unaffected by external mobility. Among men, the effect of switching depends on education: Since the 1970s, the Black - White gap first widened and then narrowed among male high school graduates. In contrast, the race gap first narrowed and then widened among male college graduates." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    A new look at intergenerational mobility in Germany compared to the US (2014)

    Abstract

    "Motivated by contradictory evidence on intergenerational mobility in Germany, I present a cross-country comparison of Germany and the US, reassessing the question of whether intergenerational mobility is higher in Germany than the US. I can reproduce the standard result from the literature, which states that the German intergenerational elasticity estimates are lower than those for the US. However, based on highly comparable data, even a reasonable degree of variation in the sampling rules leads to similar estimates in both countries. I find no evidence for nonlinearities along the fathers' earnings distribution. In contrast, the analysis shows that mobility is higher for the sons at the lowest quartile of the sons' earnings distribution in both countries. In Germany this result is mainly driven by a high downward mobility of sons with fathers in the upper middle part of the earnings distribution. The corresponding pattern is clearly less pronounced in the US." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "This paper analyzes intergenerational mobility experiences of daughters and sons with respect to their fathers' occupational status and documents changes in gender differences over time. While women have been in occupations with lower overall earnings potential, men are more likely to be in occupations characterized by long hours and low returns. The mobility gap in earnings has been closing and a mobility advantage with respect to education has been emerging." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Der Nachweis der Wirkungen von geförderten studienbezogenen Auslandsaufenthalten hinsichtlich der angestrebten Ziele blieb international bisher aus. Am Beispiel des Kepler-Internationalisierungsprogrammes wurden zwei repräsentative Samples von Absolventen mit und ohne Auslandsaufenthalte (jeweils mit ca. n = 500) miteinander verglichen. Programmexterne Einflüsse konnten methodisch so gut wie ausgeschlossen werden. Das Ergebnis zeigt eindeutige Vorteile durch Auslandsaufenthalte sowohl hinsichtlich des Erwerbes von überfachlichen Kompetenzen als auch im späteren Berufsweg der Absolventen."
