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?

Aufstiegsungleichheit durch ostdeutsche Erfahrungen? (2024)
Kosinski, Katharina;Zitatform
Kosinski, Katharina (2024): Aufstiegsungleichheit durch ostdeutsche Erfahrungen? In: Hessische Blätter für Volksbildung, Jg. 74, H. 2, S. 19-30. DOI:10.3278/hbv2402w
Abstract
"Die Frage nach der Teilnahme an höherer Berufsbildung in den ostdeutschen Bundesländern ist relevant für die Erwachsenenbildung, weil sich die Transformation auf Arbeitsverhältnisse, Berufe, Qualifikationen und Perspektiven der Menschen mit ostdeutscher Herkunft auswirkte. Mit dem Systemumbruch, einer spezifischen Sozialisation und transformationsbedingten Veränderungen mussten sich jüngere Menschen auseinandersetzen, die vor dem Eintritt in das Berufsleben standen. Unter neuen Bedingungen und mit ungewisser Perspektive mussten zwei Generationen ihren beruflichen Weg finden und dabei auch Weiterbildungsentscheidungen treffen, die mit einem Aufstieg verbunden sein können."

The indirect relationship between employee job performance and voluntary turnover: A meta-analysis (2024)

Liu, Yan, Rui Han, Yina Mao & Jie Xiao (2024): The indirect relationship between employee job performance and voluntary turnover: A meta-analysis. In: Human Resource Management Review, Jg. 34, H. 4. DOI:10.1016/j.hrmr.2024.101039
Abstract
"Employee turnover brings lots of negative effects on organizations. Researchers have investigated why employees quit their jobs and found job performance to be an important predictor. Previous studies have proposed potential mediators of the performance-turnover relationship from job attitudes, job alternatives, and job embeddedness perspectives. Nevertheless, they have failed to provide sufficient empirical support for these three paths and which of these three mediating mechanisms matters most. To address these questions, we used meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) to examine these three mediating mechanisms between job performance and voluntary turnover. Drawing on 299 independent samples (N = 524,740), we found that job performance had a negative impact on employee voluntary turnover through desirability of movement and turnover intention, through job embeddedness and turnover intention, and a positive impact through ease of movement and turnover intention. Among these three paths, desirability of movement had the strongest mediating effect, followed by job embeddedness and ease of movement. Theoretical and practical implications as well as future directions were discussed." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

Earnings dynamics and intergenerational transmission of skill (2024)

Lochner, Lance & Youngmin Park (2024): Earnings dynamics and intergenerational transmission of skill. In: Journal of econometrics, Jg. 243, H. 1-2. DOI:10.1016/j.jeconom.2021.12.009
Abstract
"This paper develops and estimates a two-factor model of intergenerational skill transmission when earnings inequality reflects differences in individual skills and other non-skill shocks. We consider heterogeneity in both initial skills and skill growth rates, allowing variation in skill growth to change over the lifecycle. Using administrative tax data on two linked generations of Canadians covering 37 years, we exploit covariances in log earnings (at different ages) both across and within generations to identify and estimate the intergenerational correlation structure for initial skills and skill growth rates, lifecycle skill growth profiles, and the dynamics of non-skill earnings shocks. We estimate low intergenerational elasticities (IGEs) for earnings in Canada; however, skill IGEs are typically 2–3 times larger due to considerable (and persistent) variation in earnings conditional on skills. Both earnings and skill IGEs decline for more recent child cohorts and are lower for children born to younger fathers. Intergenerational transmission of both initial skills and skill growth rates explains up to 40% of children’s skill variation. Skills become a more important determinant of earnings over the first part of workers’ careers; however, intergenerational transmission of skills becomes less important as children age, because skill growth rates are not well-predicted by parental skills. Parents’ initial skills and skill growth rates are equally important determinants of children’s skills, largely because both strongly influence children’s initial skills. Finally, we study intergenerational mobility for the 35 largest cities in Canada, documenting the extent to which considerable differences in earnings and skill IGEs vary with the extent of local heterogeneity in parental skills vs. earnings instability."

Abstract
"Ohne qualifizierte Fachkräfte können Gesundheitsleistungen nicht erbracht werden. Um mögliche Fachkräfteengpässe zu lösen, müssen sie frühzeitig erkannt werden. Hierfür bedarf es eines detaillierten langfristigen Monitorings von (Arbeits-)Angebot und Bedarf in den Gesundheitsberufen („BMG-Fachkräftemonitoring“). Dieser Bericht legt dar, welche Projektions- und Szenariomöglichkeiten mit den in Deutschland zur Verfügung stehenden Datenquellen möglich sind: Für rund 55 Berufe des Gesundheitswesens (darunter 16 ärztliche Berufe) lässt sich die Entwicklung zuverlässig vorhersagen - jeweils unterschieden nach den Einrichtungsarten „stationär“, „ambulant“ und „sonstige“. Es wird ein Projektionsansatz vorgeschlagen, der sich in das bereits bestehende Projektionskonzept der Qualifikations- und Berufsprojektionen (www.QuBe-Projekt.de) einbetten lässt. Er ermöglicht es Folgewirkungen von Maßnahmen abzuschätzen und ist in der Lage politische Handlungsmöglichkeiten zu identifizieren." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Diversifying analytical categories for studying youth with and without migration background: an example of mobility-based categories (2024)
Zitatform
Mazzucato, Valentina (2024): Diversifying analytical categories for studying youth with and without migration background: an example of mobility-based categories. In: Comparative Migration Studies, Jg. 12. DOI:10.1186/s40878-024-00385-0
Abstract
"This article develops mobility-based categories for studying young people with and without a migration background. Most research on migrant youth uses the category of ethnicity, defined by a young person’s country of origin or that of their parents, or the category of generation, with migrants defined as first, second or 1.5 generation. But these categories hide the mobility that young people engage in, both for those youth who have migration in their biographies and those who do not. Mobility can entail migration, but also other kinds of trips such as study abroad, vacations, gap years, and family visits. In a globalising world the ability of young people to move is increasingly a marker of difference and therefore needs to be considered when studying young people’s lives. Using insights from the transnational and mobilities turns in the social sciences, this article argues that we need to develop new analytical categories that capture the various ways in which young people are mobile. Such mobility-based categories promise to shed light on young people’s lives in three ways. First such categories allow investigation of various elements of commonality and difference between youth, irrespective of where they or their parents come from. They allow us to go beyond the nation-state lens that still guides most large-scale migration research and to explore within-group differences. Second, mobility-based categories take young people’s past and present mobilities into account, allowing a temporal understanding of how mobility affects their lives. Finally, mobility-based categories are a way to operationalize the notion that mobility entails a process rather than a one-time move. The article explores what mobility-based categories could look like, based on a recent, large-N, primary data collection project on secondary-school student’s mobility in three European countries and one African one."

Internal migration after a uniform minimum wage introduction (2024)

Moog, Alexander (2024): Internal migration after a uniform minimum wage introduction. (arXiv papers 2404.19590), 47 S. DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2404.19590
Abstract
"Internal migration is an essential aspect to study labor mobility. I exploit the German statutory minimum wage introduction in 2015 to estimate its push and pull effects on internal migration using a 2% sample of administrative data. In a conditional fixed effects Poisson difference-in-differences framework with a continuous treatment, I find that the minimum wage introduction leads to an increase in the out-migration of low-skilled workers with migrant background by 25% with an increasing tendency over time from districts where a high share of workers are subject to the minimum wage (high-bite districts). In contrast the migration decision of native-born low-skilled workers is not affected by the policy. However, both native-born low-skilled workers and those with a migrant background do relocate across establishments, leaving high-bite districts as their workplace. In addition, I find an increase for unemployed individuals with a migrant background in out-migrating from high-bite districts. These results emphasize the importance of considering the effects on geographical labor mobility when implementing and analyzing policies that affect the determinants of internal migration."

“Stepping-Stone” versus “Dead-End” Jobs: Occupational Structure, Work Experience, and Mobility Out of Low-Wage Jobs (2024)

Mouw, Ted, Arne L. Kalleberg & Michael A. Schultz (2024): “Stepping-Stone” versus “Dead-End” Jobs: Occupational Structure, Work Experience, and Mobility Out of Low-Wage Jobs. In: American sociological review, Jg. 89, H. 2, S. 298-345. DOI:10.1177/00031224241232957
Abstract
"Does working in a low-wage job lead to increased opportunities for upward mobility, or is it a dead-end that traps workers? In this article, we examine whether low-wage jobs are “stepping-stones” that enable workers to move to higher-paid jobs that are linked by institutional mobility ladders and skill transferability. To identify occupational linkages, we create two measures of occupational similarity using data on occupational mobility from matched samples of the Current Population Survey (CPS) and data on multiple dimensions of job skills from the O*NET. We test whether work experience in low-wage occupations increases mobility between linked occupations that results in upward wage mobility. Our analysis uses longitudinal data on low-wage workers from the 1979 National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) and the 1996 to 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). We test the stepping-stone perspective using multinomial conditional logit (MCL) models, which allow us to analyze the joint effects of work experience and occupational linkages on achieving upward wage mobility. We find evidence for stepping-stone mobility in certain areas of the low-wage occupational structure. In these occupations, low-wage workers can acquire skills through work experience that facilitate upward mobility through occupational changes to skill and institutionally linked occupations."

Intergenerational income mobility in the United States: A racial-spatial account (2024)

Movahed, Masoud & Tiffany Neman (2024): Intergenerational income mobility in the United States: A racial-spatial account. In: Social science research, Jg. 123. DOI:10.1016/j.ssresearch.2024.103064
Abstract
"The study of intergenerational income mobility has witnessed more visibility in academic and public policy circles in light of the new estimates generated by Chetty and colleagues. The distribution of race-based estimates of intergenerational income mobility demonstrates strong spatial patterning, such that the success of a child's traversal to the top income quintile in the United States is spatially conditioned and dependent on locality. However, research drawing on the new estimates of intergenerational income mobility has largely taken an aspatial approach. This study is the first attempt to develop an explicitly spatial model, demonstrating that the determinants of place-based mobility vary both geographically and across racial groups. By systematically accounting for spatial autocorrelation and heterogeneity, we identify the race- and region-specific determinants of intergenerational income mobility across counties in the United States."

Loud or Quiet Quitting? The Influence of Work Orientations on Effort and Turnover (2024)
Zitatform
Nikolova, Milena (2024): Loud or Quiet Quitting? The Influence of Work Orientations on Effort and Turnover. (IZA discussion paper / Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit 16960), Bonn, 67 S.
Abstract
"This study examines work orientations as a novel determinant influencing job search behaviors, quit intentions, and workplace effort, thereby integrating this concept into the field of labor economics. Work orientations, the intrinsic beliefs regarding the role of work in one's life, relate to viewing work as a paycheck, a career step, or a calling. Drawing on original, nationally representative Dutch data on work orientations, this paper reveals that those who view their work as a calling rather than a job are more committed to their roles, have lower quit intentions and are less likely to be job searching, and do not endorse 'quiet quitting' - the act of fulfilling only the minimum requirements to maintain employment. Conversely, individuals with career-centered work perspectives are more likely to consider leaving their jobs, engage actively in job searches, and show diminished work effort compared to those with a job orientation. However, this group is still unlikely to approve of quiet quitting in comparison to those who view work primarily as an income source. A key finding is that work orientations significantly predict quit intentions, job search behaviors, and effort Levels - surpassing the predictive power of job satisfaction and perceived work meaningfulness. Specifically, work orientations account for about 40 % of the variation in quit intentions and job search behaviors. These insights suggest that work orientations could be a crucial, yet overlooked, factor in understanding employee behavior, challenging the conventional perspective of workers as simply income-driven and countering the notion of work as an inherent disutility."

Is no (soft) skill left behind? Do soft skills enable job mobility (2024)

Semtner, Aaron, Janet Dzator & Andrew Nadolny (2024): Is no (soft) skill left behind? Do soft skills enable job mobility. In: Applied Economics, S. 1-19. DOI:10.1080/00036846.2024.2364103
Abstract
"High job mobility or labor turnover is historically treated as detrimental for businesses and workers. With new technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) that further increase soft skill demand, there is an opportunity for beneficial job mobility of workers reallocating to productive businesses supported by transferable soft skills. However, Australian businesses risk missing these benefits as Australian workers have yet to reach pre-GFC mobility. We use the HILDA longitudinal dataset for Australia to test how the soft skill measures of communication skills, time management, and low task repetitiveness are associated with mobility for Australian workers measured using changing jobs directly and hourly wages as a measure of mobility success. The survival analysis for changing jobs finds soft skills have no significant effect on the expected employment duration prior to changing jobs, while measures of overall skills beyond soft skills increase this duration. Further, measures of soft skills and overall skills have mixed effects on wages by themselves, and when moderated with changing jobs these terms are almost completely insignificant. Overall, the potential transferability of soft skills does not translate into practical mobility, suggesting limitations for workers seeking to improve their working conditions via changing jobs."

Abstract
"This article examines the way in which working-class young people in Rochdale, a former industrial town in the north-west of England, imagine their future transitions from college to work through qualitative research at Rochdale’s only A-Level college. It explores how students’ aspirations to attend university reflect their desire for a ‘career’ in the absence of alternative forms of work and as a symbolic marker of upward social mobility that is subsequently differentiated from other forms of work as a form of distinction, as a great deal of emphasis is placed on the moral and cultural worth of a ‘career’. In doing so, this article highlights how such perceptions are shaped by the material conditions faced by these young people, such as inequality, financial precarity, and relative poverty against the backdrop of deindustrialisation."

Abstract
"We analyze how skill transferability and the local industry mix affect the adjustment costs of workers hit by a trade shock. Using German administrative data and novel measures of economic distance we construct an index of labor market absorptiveness that captures the degree to which workers from a particular industry are able to reallocate into other jobs. Among manufacturing workers, we find that the earnings loss associated with increased import exposure is much higher for those who live in the least absorptive regions. We conclude that the local industry composition plays an important role in the adjustment processes of workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Branchenwechsel von Beschäftigten (2024)
Zitatform
(2024): Branchenwechsel von Beschäftigten. (Grundlagen: Methodenbericht / Bundesagentur für Arbeit), Nürnberg, 34 S.
Abstract
"Die Branche ist neben dem Beruf eine zentrale Dimension bei der Beschreibung von Arbeitsmärkten. Nach Branchen differenzierte Statistiken zum Arbeitsmarkt liefern wichtige Informationen über die Verteilung der Beschäftigten und zeigen die kurz- und langfristigen Auswirkungen von Konjunkturzyklen, technologischem Wandel und von exogenen Schocks, wie der Corona-Pandemie, auf die Branchen. Die Darstellung der Beschäftigung in den Branchen erfolgt üblicherweise mit Bestandsgrößen und ihren Veränderungen. Dabei ist die Dynamik hinter diesen Bestandsgrößen deutlich größer als es die Veränderungen der Bestände erkennen lassen. Diese Dynamik wird bereits durch die Zahl der begonnenen und beendeten Beschäftigungsverhältnisse in einer Branche abgebildet. Mit der neuen Mobilitätsstatistik können nun auch die Übergänge zwischen den Branchen dargestellt werden, also z.B. in welchem Umfang neue Arbeitskräfte aus anderen Branchen eingestellt werden bzw. Arbeitskräfte in andere Branchen wechseln. Der Wechsel der Branche wird in der Beschäftigungsstatistik beim Beginn eines Beschäftigungsverhältnisses über einen Vergleich der Branche im neuen mit der Branche im vorangegangenen Beschäftigungsverhältnis festgestellt. Die so gewonnenen Mobilitätsdaten bieten zahlreiche Analysemöglichkeiten, die in dem Methodenbericht im Einzelnen dargestellt werden. Für die Analyse werden zahlreiche Mobilitätsindikatoren eingeführt. Für das Jahr 2023 zeigen sich u.a. folgende Mobilitätsergebnisse: Auf jahresdurchschnittlich 100 sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigungsverhältnisse im Bestand kommen 26 begonnene Beschäftigungsverhältnisse mit einem Beschäftigungswechsel. Davon mündeten 14 oder gut die Hälfte in einer anderen Branche. In den letzten zehn Jahren hat die Mobilität zugenommen: Es wird häufiger die Beschäftigung und darunter auch öfter die Branche gewechselt. Im Zuge der Branchenmobilität kommt es zu Umschichtungen der Beschäftigung zwischen den Branchen. Im Durchschnitt der letzten fünf Jahre haben die Energieversorgung, die Öffentliche Verwaltung, das Grundstücks- und Wohnungswesen und die Wach- und Sicherheitsdienste am stärksten von Branchenwechseln profitiert, während Arbeitnehmerüberlassung, Reisebüros, Beherbergung und Gastronomie dadurch die relativ größten Verluste verzeichneten. Beschäftigungsverluste über Branchenmobilität bedeuten aber nicht zwingend, dass die Beschäftigtenzahl in der Branche deshalb sinkt. So konnte z.B. die Gastronomie ihre Mobilitätsverluste über Neu-Eintritte in Beschäftigung ausgleichen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"This paper investigates the sources of wage growth over the life cycle, determined by sectoral and firm mobility, unobserved ability, the accumulation of cognitive-abstract or routine-manual skills, and whether workers enroll in vocational training at the start of their career. Our analysis uses longitudinal administrative data over three decades and shows that routine-manual skills drive early wage growth, while cognitive-abstract skills become more important later. Moreover, job amenities are an important determinant of mobility decisions. Vocational training has long-term effects on career outcomes through various channels and generates returns for both the individual and society." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Using a unique Portuguese linked employer-employee dataset, this paper offers an extension of the standard Mincerian model of wage determination by allowing for different returns to experience and tenure over the sequence of jobs that constitute a career. We also consider the possibility of distinct wage hikes each time workers change jobs, where such uplifts reflect the returns to job search investments over the life cycle and shape the curvature of the earnings profile. We further investigate how worker, firm, and job match heterogeneity influence the returns to mobility, experience, and tenure. The returns to job mobility are found to reflect sorting into better job matches. Moreover, the estimated returns to experience are upwardly biased because more productive workers tend to be more experienced." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"We provide insights on how job search changed in the Covid-19-crisis by analyzing data from the LinkedIn professional network for Germany. We find that competition among workers for jobs strongly increased – which is due to additional job seekers rather than higher search intensity. Furthermore, the LinkedIn data show that people from industries particularly affected by the crisis applied much more frequently and there had been a substantial shift in the target industries for applications. Finally, we find that at the onset of the Covid-19-crises applications were made significantly more often below and significantly less often above a person’s level of seniority."

Abstract
"Beschäftigte, die zu Beginn der Covid-19-Pandemie ihren Beruf gewechselt haben, taten dies in einem krisenhaften Arbeitsmarktumfeld. Verglichen mit Berufswechseln im Vorjahr 2019 gingen den Untersuchungsergebnissen zufolge solche Berufswechsel im Frühjahr 2020 zunächst häufiger mit einer erhöhten Arbeitslosigkeit und Lohneinbußen einher. Diese Nachteile konnten jedoch meist bis zum Jahresende 2020 ausgeglichen werden." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Créchet, Jonathan, Etienne Lalé & Linas Tarasonis (2023): Life-Cycle Worker Flows and Cross-country Differences in Aggregate Employment. (Working paper / Department of Economics, University of Ottawa 2306E), Ottawa, 56 S.
Abstract
"We propose new data moments to measure the role of life-cycle worker flows between employment, unemployment and out of the labor force in shaping cross-country differences in aggregate employment. We then show that a suitably extended version of the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides model can capture well these data moments. Two features of the model are crucial for this result: heterogeneity in match quality and endogenous search intensity. We examine the implications of this model for the sources of employment dispersion across Europe's largest countries, assessing the contribution of factors related to (i) the production technology, (ii) search, and (iii) policies. The sources of cross-country employment dispersion differ substantially across ages. Technology factors account for most of the employment variance of youths and prime-age workers, whereas search and policies are the main drivers of employment differences for older individuals."

In: Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society, Jg. 16, H. 3, S. 417-430. DOI:10.1093/cjres/rsad016
Abstract
"This article investigates how the evolution of local labor market structure enables or constrains workers as regards escaping low-wage jobs. Drawing on the network-based approach of evolutionary economic geography, we employ a detailed individual-level panel dataset to construct skill-relatedness networks for 72 functional labor market regions in Sweden. Subsequent fixed-effect panel regressions indicate that increasing density of skill-related high-income jobs within a region is conducive to low-wage workers moving to better-paid jobs, hence facilitating labor market upgrading through diversification. While metropolitan regions offer a premium for this relationship, it also holds for smaller regions, and across various worker characteristics." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Occupational Job Ladders within and between Firms (2023)

Forsythe, Eliza (2023): Occupational Job Ladders within and between Firms. (IZA discussion paper / Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit 16682), Bonn, 42 S.
Abstract
"I present four facts about occupational mobility: (1) most movements occur within firms, (2) downward moves are frequent, (3) wage growth reflects the direction and distance of mobility, and (4) relative occupational wages before mobility predict the direction of mobility, except for non-displaced movers between firms. I show these facts are consistent with models of vertical sorting. I show that non-displaced movements between firms obscure the positive selection of upward occupational movers, likely reflecting moves up a firm-wage job ladder. Displaced workers show similar predisplacement selection to internal movers, with pre-displacement occupational wage rank predicting the direction of occupational mobility."

Fullard, Joshua (2023): Labour market expectations and occupational choice: evidence from teaching. (ISER working paper series / Institute for Social and Economic Research, University of Essex 2023-01), Colchester, 39 S.
Abstract
"Using new data on teachers' intentions to leave the profession, subjective expectations about labour market outcomes and a modified discrete-choice experiment we find that i) teachers are systematically misinformed about population earnings, and misinformation is correlated with attrition intentions; ii) non-pecuniary factors are the most cost-effective method of reducing teacher attrition; and iii) attrition intentions are more affected by reductions in workplace amenities than symmetric improvements, suggesting preventing cuts is more important that rolling out more generous benefits. Linking our survey data to teachers' administrative records we provide the first evidence that teachers attrition intentions are strong predictors of actual behaviour."

Abstract
"The increase in employment polarization observed in several high-income economies has coincided with a reduction in inter-generational mobility. This paper argues that the disappearance of middling jobs can drive changes in mobility, notably by removing a stepping stone towards high-paying occupations for those from less well-off family backgrounds. Using data from two British cohorts who entered the labour market at two points in time with very different degrees of employment polarization, we examine how parental income affects both entry occupations and occupational upgrading over careers. We find that transitions across occupations are key to mobility and that the impact of parental income has grown over time. At regional level, using a shift-share IV-strategy, we show that the impact of parental income has increased the most in regions experiencing the greatest increase in polarisation. This indicates that the disappearance of middling jobs played a role in the observed decline in mobility." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Die Corona-Pandemie führte zu der größten Wirtschafskrise seit der globalen Finanzkrise 2008. Im Jahr 2020 wurde die These geäußert, dass die Pandemie am Arbeitsmarkt zu einem „Reallokationsschock“, also einer Umverteilung von Arbeitskräften aus Jobs mit niedriger Produktivität in solche mit hoher Produktivität, führen würde. Dieser Beitrag betrachtet die berufliche Mobilität in Deutschland und Sachsen in den Coronajahren 2020 und 2021. Wir zeigen, dass es zwar im Jahr 2020 Verwerfungen gab, sich der Arbeitsmarkt im Laufe des Jahres 2021 aber schon wieder nahezu normalisiert hat. Statt einer Reallokation bewirkt die Corona-Pandemie eher eine Verstärkung von bereits existierenden Arbeitsmarkttrends. Von einem „Reallokationsschock“ ist daher zumindest für Deutschland und Sachsen nicht auszugehen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"This article studies upward job mobility in different types of local economies. Relying on Swedish register data, we disentangle the impacts stemming from local labour market size, the presence of related industries and occupations and the size of own-industry and own-occupation concentrations. Results show that the local economic structure is important in shaping upward mobility outcomes. However, we observe different impacts from local industry-versus-occupation agglomerations and depending on whether people move from lower-paid or higher-paid jobs. The results have important implications for understanding the drivers of upward job mobility in times of increasing labour market polarization and regional divergence."

Hervé, Justine (2023): Specialists or generalists? Cross-industry mobility and wages. In: Labour Economics, Jg. 84. DOI:10.1016/j.labeco.2023.102391
Abstract
"This paper quantifies the association between industrial specialization at the occupation level and job mobility and earnings for low and middle-wage American workers. I propose the concept of industry specificity to capture the degree of industrial specialization of a worker's occupation. I measure industry specificity using an index of industrial concentration of employment (CEI) defined at the occupation-state-year level. Linking this index to individual-level panel data on wages and job transitions, I show that CEI is negatively associated with workers' wages: moving from the first quartile to the third quartile of industry specificity decreases wages by 13 percent. I next examine the mechanisms that explain these findings. I first find that CEI is negatively associated with cross-industry and cross-occupation mobility, that is, workers employed in industry-specific occupations change industry and occupation less frequently than workers in less specific occupations. In addition, I show that occupation-level factors such as skill uniqueness and automatability increase industry specificity; but they cannot entirely explain the negative effect of CEI on wages. Finally, in line with the main results, I provide suggestive evidence that workers in industry-specific occupations are more vulnerable to industry-wide wage shocks compared to their generalist counterparts."

Abstract
"Berufliche Weiterbildung und Neuorientierung gewinnen im Zuge der Digitalisierung und des demografischen Wandels weiter an Bedeutung. Um Menschen bei der beruflichen Orientierung zu unterstützen, hat die Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) in den letzten Jahren verschiedene Berufsberatungsangebote (weiter-)entwickelt. Die Berufsberatung im Erwerbsleben (BBiE) richtet sich dabei an Menschen, die im Erwerbsleben stehen. Ein zentrales Ziel ist es, diesen dabei zu helfen, die eigene berufliche Perspektive besser einzuschätzen. Zielgruppen sind vorrangig Erwerbstätige, insbesondere solche mit niedriger Qualifikation, die vor einer beruflichen Neu- bzw. Umorientierung stehen sowie Personen vor einem beruflichen Wiedereinstieg. Daneben richtet sich das Angebot an Arbeitslose im Rechtskreis der Arbeitslosenversicherung, die berufliche Vorerfahrungen und einen erhöhten beruflichen Beratungs- und Orientierungsbedarf haben. Dieser Forschungsbericht nutzt erstmalig neu erschlossene Forschungsdaten zu den beratenen Personen und verknüpft diese mit den Integrierten Erwerbsbiografien (IEB) des IAB sowie dem Betriebs-Historik-Panel (BHP). Die IEB enthalten unter anderem Informationen zu Zeiten sozialversicherungspflichtiger Beschäftigung, der registrierten Arbeitssuche, des Bezugs von Arbeitslosengeld und Arbeitslosengeld II sowie zur Teilnahme an arbeitsmarktpolitischen Maßnahmen. Aus dem BHP lassen sich Informationen zum Beschäftigungsbetrieb ergänzen. Da sich das Angebot im Untersuchungszeitraum an verschiedene Zielgruppen richtete, differenziert der Bericht zwischen Personen, die zum Zeitpunkt der Erstberatung a) sozialversicherungspflichtig beschäftigt, b) arbeitslos im Rechtskreis der Arbeitslosenversicherung (SGB III) oder c) in einem sonstigen Status waren – unter die letzte Kategorie fallen auch potenzielle Wiedereinsteiger*innen in den Arbeitsmarkt. Für die Beschäftigten wird eine Referenzgruppe aus Personen gebildet, die zu einem Stichtag beschäftigt waren. Eine Referenzgruppe für die Arbeitslosen setzt sich aus Zugängen in Arbeitslosigkeit zusammen. Für die sonstigen Personen lässt sich keine Referenzgruppe bilden, da für sie zum ersten Beratungstermin größtenteils keine Informationen in den administrativen Daten der BA vorliegen. Das Analysesample enthält 45.000 Beschäftigte, knapp 9.000 Arbeitslose sowie rund 17.500 sonstige Personen, die im Jahr 2021 mindestens einen ersten Beratungstermin wahrgenommen haben und für die einige zusätzliche Bedingungen erfüllt waren. Verglichen mit den Referenzgruppen ergeben sich für das Analysesample annäherungsweise Beratungsquoten von 0,16 Prozent für Beschäftigte und 0,64 Prozent für Arbeitslose im Rechtskreis SGB III. Der Bericht untersucht dann, welche Merkmale die drei Gruppen beratener Personen aufweisen, für die ersten beiden Gruppen auch im Vergleich zu den Referenzgruppen. Neben individuellen Merkmalen der Personen lassen sich auch Merkmale des letzten oder aktuellen Arbeitgebers auswerten. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich insbesondere ein starker Alterseffekt: Die BBiE richtete sich in allen drei Gruppen eher an Jüngere – in der Gruppe der Beratenen liegt der Anteil der Personen bis zu 35 Jahren über dem in der Referenzgruppe, der Anteil derer ab 46 Jahren deutlich darunter. Ein zweiter starker Effekt zeigt sich beim Geschlecht: Je nach Gruppe liegt der Frauenanteil bei den Beratenen zwischen gut der Hälfte und zwei Dritteln und über dem Frauenanteil in den Referenzgruppen. Beratene Beschäftigte hatten im aktuellen Job ein (gemessen am Median) deutlich geringeres Bruttotagesentgelt als Personen in der Referenzgruppe und arbeiteten häufiger in Teilzeit. Darüber hinaus findet sich eine Vielzahl kleinerer Unterschiede zwischen den Beschäftigten und Arbeitslosen sowie den jeweiligen Referenzgruppen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"Job loss comes with large present value earnings losses which elude workhorse models of unemployment and labor market policy. I propose a parsimonious model of a frictional labor market in which jobs differ in terms of unemployment risk and workers search off- and on-the-job. This gives rise to a job ladder with slippery bottom rungs where unemployment spells beget unemployment spells. I allow for human capital to respond to time spent out of work and estimate the framework on German Social Security data. The model captures the joint response of wages, employment, and unemployment risk to job loss which I measure empirically. The key driver of the “unemployment scar” is the loss in job security and its interaction with the evolution of human capital and, in particular, the search for better employment."

Abstract
"Although there has been increasing focus on the employment mobility associated with migration and return, a number of important research gaps can be identified. First, there has been greater focus on occupational mobility than on changes in economic activity, although it is their interaction which determines welfare outcomes. Moreover, most studies of economic activity have focused on either self-employment, or the simple dichotomy between being employed versus unemployed, neglecting the shifts between full-time, part-time, and casual employment. Secondly, research on the determinants of these different types of employment mobility has been relatively narrowly focused on individual economic factors. Most studies have been fragmented, especially lacking a comparative element. To address these gaps, descriptive statistics and Bayesian multilevel models are applied to a pan-European panel survey of 3851 young returned migrants. The findings disclose that positive shifts in employment mobility are more evident in economic activity than in occupations, and for those with a lower occupational status prior to migration. Although a range of significant determinants of employment mobility are identified, the findings also demonstrate that education is a major driver of occupational mobility, while marital and family status are important influences on economic activity shifts."

Abstract
"Extending existing research on transitions from temporary to permanent employment this article investigates the social mobility dimension of these transitions. Specifically, it asks whether certain individuals experience downward occupational mobility while moving from temporary to permanent employment in the two countries under study, Germany and Poland. The empirical analysis of the employment histories of young individuals until age 35 involves event history modelling using Cox proportional hazards methodology and is conducted on data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (G-SOEP) and the Polish Panel Survey (POLPAN) for the period 2003–2017/2018. In the study, transitions to permanent employment with and without downward occupational mobility are defined as competing events and modeled separately. The analysis reveals that ten per cent and as much as seventeen per cent of moves to permanent employment in Germany and Poland, respectively, are accompanied by a loss in occupational status. A higher prevalence of downward mobility in Poland may result from a weaker welfare state there which is less decommodifying. Furthermore, a low level of individual economic vulnerability decreases the transition rate to permanent employment involving a drop in occupational status. In Poland, the high socioeconomic position of the family of origin deters from changing to an unlimited contract with downward mobility. In Germany, married or partnered individuals who enjoy a high household income bear a lower risk of transitioning to permanent employment with status loss."

Abstract
"This paper empirically estimates how referrals mitigate the risk associated with hiring formerly self-employed individuals. We do this by comparing the networks and entry wages for two groups of new hires: those who exit self-employment to become wage-employed and those who change employers as wage employees, i.e., job changers. Referrals are defined as coworker ties through which the new hire and an incumbent worker share a common employment history before their current employment. We use longitudinal Swedish register-based data to evaluate the entry wages of the two groups of new hires for the years between 2010 and 2013. The results show that having coworker ties is associated with 2.9% higher entry wages and that this network premium is uniform across the formerly self-employed and job changers. However, the new hires from self-employment have consistently lower entry wages than the job changers, even if the exiting self-employed have coworker ties."

Abstract
"This article uses the New Immigrant Survey to assess the occupational mobility of US immigrants. Estimates from OLS and Heckman selection models show the occupational mobility of immigrants follows a U-shaped pattern: immigrants arriving in the United States see their occupational status decline before it gradually improves. However, even 9 years after coming to the United States, the occupational status of immigrants remains lower than prior to their arrival in the country. Our findings also suggest that immigrant women with higher occupational status tend to move more often to the United States than immigrant men. Conversely, immigrant women are more likely than men to experience career interruptions after migration. Finally, occupational employment growth rates (defined as the growth rate in the number of jobs for an occupation) have a positive impact on both men and women immigrants' ability to recover their occupational status, though the impact appears to be greater for immigrant women."

Our results are consistent with persistent gender bias findings and non-heterosexual identity-based employment discrimination. Our findings are consistent with previous work noting that protective legislation for gay and lesbian sexual identities have increased the cost of discrimination and contribute to the improved socioeconomic status of a substantial number of people in these minority groups. However, these gains have not been shared with other minority groups in the LGB+ community, which still have some of the lowest probabilities of holding managerial jobs, and higher probabilities of appearing in lower socioeconomic classes."

Abstract
"How do individual positions in the income distribution change over life? So far, it has proven difficult to answer this question in the absence of a long-term income panel, but new longitudinal income tax records from 2003 to 2020 now enable to analyze the long-term income mobility, as well as its impact on inequality measurement over the whole period. We find a high rank-rank correlation of 0.71 between 2003-2004 and 2019-2020 for those age 25-49 in 2003. Inertia is particularly strong at the top and the bottom of the distribution: among the top 20% and the bottom 20% of the income distribution, almost two-thirds remain in the same quintile 16 years later. Mobility appears to be lower in France than in the United States. However, mobility is higher for the self-employed than for employees, and the young are also more mobile. Inhabitants of the largest areas persist more at the top of the distribution and experience more upward mobility. These results are robust to the income definition considered. Moreover, taking individual mobility into account when measuring income inequality hardly differs from income inequality as conventionally measured: a Gini index based on average individual income over the period is 7% lower than the Gini index based on annual income."

Abstract
"While the literature documents a wage loss for entrepreneurs that return to paid employment, we examine how these entrepreneurs are re-integrated into the labor market. We consider which type of employers hire entrepreneurs and their satisfaction with the new corporate job. Using matched employer-employee data from Belgium combined with an ad-hoc survey, we find that entrepreneurs are hired by smaller employers that offer fewer employee benefits and pay less, contributing to explaining the wage loss. We also find that entrepreneurs are more satisfied than observationally equivalent employees when they are assigned to jobs that involve higher task variety. This effect is more pronounced for entrepreneurs who sort into better employers. Our findings highlight the importance for managers to assign entrepreneurs to the "right" job tasks."

Women as leaders in male-dominated sectors: A bifocal analysis of gendered organizational practices (2023)

Abstract
"Women in male‐dominated sectors face significant challenges to progress their leadership aspirations. While organizations have activated policies and practices that ostensibly assist women to progress, they still face entrenched gendered practices and cultures that create ongoing obstacles. In this paper, we examine the gendered social practices from insights of 15 women leaders in Australia as they attempt to advance their careers. In particular, on formal policies, informal practices, narratives and social interactions, and informal patterns of unconscious bias and merit, they negotiate in three male‐dominated sectors: Trades, Sport, and Surgery. The findings indicate a disconnect between policies and their application. Women were conflicted about the importance of quotas, and often felt unable to access flexible work arrangements upon returning to work after parental leave. Career pathways were often unclear, and women felt a lack of support from their organization, particularly when they attempted to navigate dominant masculine cultures. Drawing on these findings, we argue that executive leaders are central to changing the systemic sexism and discrimination in organizations that persist in male‐dominated sectors. To create organizational changes necessary for women to step into leadership roles, we propose four target areas: create accessible and visible career pathways, provide networking support, activate mentoring opportunities, and address unconscious bias."

Abstract
"Die vorliegende Studie analysiert die Distanz beruflicher Wechsel sowie hieraus resultierende Einkommens- und Beschäftigungseffekte auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt. Dabei zeigt sich: Ein Jobwechsel macht sich vor allem dann bezahlt, wenn Arbeitnehmer:innen an vorhandene Kompetenzen anknüpfen, also in verwandte Tätigkeiten wechseln. Das Lohnplus fällt dann um durchschnittlich 3.500 Euro brutto pro Jahr höher aus als bei einem Wechsel in nicht verwandte Berufe. Gleichzeitig steigt die jährliche Arbeitszeit im Vergleich um mehr als sechs Tage. Allerdings profitieren in erster Linie Fachkräfte und Spezialisten von einem Jobwechsel. Helfer:innen sind dagegen benachteiligt: Sie wechseln den Job doppelt so häufig wie Fachkräfte und starten besonders oft in für sie fremden Berufen – zumeist ohne Aufstiegschancen. Auch Frauen sind bei Berufswechseln oft schlechter gestellt." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"We combine information from the British Household Panel Study and the United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study (also known as Understanding Society) to construct consistent time series of aggregate worker stocks, worker flows and earnings in the United Kingdom over the period 1992–2017. We propose a method to harmonize data between the British Household Panel Study and United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study, which we validate by checking the consistency of some of our headline time series with equivalent series produced from other sources, notably by the Office for National Statistics. In addition to drawing a detailed aggregate picture of the United Kingdom labor market over the past two and a half decades, we use our constructed data set to compare the impact of industry, occupation and employer tenure on wages in the United Kingdom. We find that returns to occupation tenure are substantial. All else equal, five years of occupation tenure are associated with a 3.3% increase in wages. We also find that industry tenure plays a non-negligible part in driving wage growth." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Vocational education, tertiary education, and skill use across career stages (2023)

Schulz, Wiebke, Heike Solga & Reinhard Pollak (2023): Vocational education, tertiary education, and skill use across career stages. In: European Sociological Review, Jg. 39, H. 5, S. 741-758. DOI:10.1093/esr/jcac074
Abstract
"Vocational education enhances smooth transitions into the labour market. However, this initial advantage might vanish over the career and eventually turn into a disadvantage because the skills of vocationally trained workers become outdated faster. So far, research has examined this potential vocational trade-off by assessing labour market outcomes such as employment and income. This study uses a different approach, it directly examines how different types of skills used at work change over the career of vocationally trained workers compared to tertiary-educated workers, and how career events shape skill-use changes. With data from the German National Education Study (NEPS), we examine five skills use dimensions based on job-tasks measures: analytical, creative, managerial, interactive, and manual skills. We find that skill-use differentials between vocational and tertiary-educated workers are only small to modest. The clearest differences relate to analytical and manual skills. Looking across career stages, the observed skill-use differentials remain rather stable across career stages—thus, the vocational skill trade-off thesis is only partially supported. Occupational mobility and unemployment contribute to observable changes, whereas job-related further training does not. Our results challenge skill-based explanations of a vocational trade-off."

Assessing the impact of technological change on similar occupations: Implications for employment alternatives (2023)
Zitatform
Torosyan, Karine, Sicheng Wang, Elizabeth A. Mack, Jenna A. Van Fossen & Nathan Baker (2023): Assessing the impact of technological change on similar occupations: Implications for employment alternatives. In: PLoS ONE, Jg. 18. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0291428
Abstract
"Background: The fast-changing labor market highlights the need for an in-depth understanding of occupational mobility impacted by technological change. However, we lack a multidimensional classification scheme that considers similarities of occupations comprehensively, which prevents us from predicting employment trends and mobility across occupations. This study fills the gap by examining employment trends based on similarities between occupations. Method: We first demonstrated a new method that clusters 756 occupation titles based on knowledge, skills, abilities, education, experience, training, activities, values, and interests. We used the Principal Component Analysis to categorize occupations in the Standard Occupational Classification, which is grouped into a four-level hierarchy. Then, we paired the occupation clusters with the occupational employment projections provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. We analyzed how employment would change and what factors affect the employment changes within occupation groups. Particularly, we specified factors related to technological changes. Results: The results reveal that technological change accounts for significant job losses in some clusters. This poses occupational mobility challenges for workers in these jobs at present. Job losses for nearly 60% of current employment will occur in low-skill, low-wage occupational groups. Meanwhile, many mid-skilled and highly skilled jobs are projected to grow in the next ten years. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the utility of our occupational classification scheme. Furthermore, it suggests a critical need for skills upgrading and workforce development for workers in declining jobs. Special attention should be paid to vulnerable workers, such as older individuals and minorities." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
