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?

    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."

    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 ; Neman, Tiffany ;

    Zitatform

    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."

    Müller, Gerrit (2024): Panel Evidence on Within-Occupation Change in Job Tasks and Individual Wages. (IAB-Discussion Paper 02/2024), Nürnberg, 33 S. DOI:10.48720/IAB.DP.2402

    Abstract

    "Auf Grundlage neu verfügbarer Paneldaten präsentiert dieses Papier eine empirische Analyse der Lohneffekte sich verändernder Tätigkeiten am individuellen Arbeitsplatz. Unter Ausnutzung der Datenvariation innerhalb von Berufen und Individuen, über die Zeit, werden Lohnrenditen für die Ausübung von kognitiven, interpersonalen, physischen und Routine-Tätigkeiten geschätzt. Die Erkenntnisse der einflussreichen Studie von Autor und Handel (2013) über die Bedeutung des Tätigkeitswandels innerhalb von Berufen („intensive Margin“) werden erneut untersucht. Insbesondere kann individueller unbeobachteter Heterogenität und Selbstselektion in Berufe besser Rechnung getragen werden, als dies in der ursprünglichen Querschnittsstudie möglich war."

    Loud or Quiet Quitting? The Influence of Work Orientations on Effort and Turnover (2024)

    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 ; Dzator, Janet ; Nadolny, Andrew;

    Zitatform

    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."

    Singh, Amit (2024): University and the Pursuit of a ‘Career’ for Working-Class Youth in Deindustrial Rochdale. In: Sociology. DOI:10.1177/00380385241289297

    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

    "Wie beeinflusst das Alter die berufliche Mobilität? Gibt es altersspezifische Wirkungsweisen anderer Einflüsse auf Berufswechsel? Dies beantwortet der vorliegende Forschungsbericht auf Basis repräsentativer Daten zu Jobübergängen im Alter von 30 bis 69 Jahren. Ältere Erwerbstätige, teils schon ab Mitte 40, nehmen eher als Jüngere in Kauf, einen abwärts gerichteten Berufswechsel zu vollziehen bzw. keinen aufwärts gerichteten zu realisieren, um etwa auf Teilzeit zu reduzieren, von einer befristeten in eine unbefristete Stelle zu wechseln oder um keine Überstunden mehr leisten zu müssen."

    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."

    Life-Cycle Worker Flows and Cross-country Differences in Aggregate Employment (2023)

    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."

    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))

    Abstract

    "The low rate of inflation observed in the United States over the past decade is hard to reconcile with traditional measures of labor market slack. We develop a theory-based indicator of interfirm-wage competition that can explain the missing inflation. Key to this result is a drop in the rate of on-the-job search, which lowers the intensity of interfirm-wage competition to retain or hire workers. We estimate the on-the-job search rate from aggregate labor-market flows and show that its recent drop is corroborated by survey data. During “the great resignation,” interfirm-wage competition rose, increasing inflation by around 1 percentage point in 2021." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © MIT Press Journals) ((en))

    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."
