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?

Becker, Rolf & Klaus Schömann (2015): Statusreproduktion und Mobilitätseffekte beruflicher Weiterbildung. In: Zeitschrift für Soziologie, Jg. 44, H. 4, S. 272-291.
Abstract
"Es wird für Westdeutschland untersucht, ob sowohl der intergenerationale Abstieg als auch der intergenerationale Statuserhalt Beweggründe für berufliche Weiterbildung sind. Des Weiteren wird untersucht, ob mit beruflicher Weiterbildung ein intergenerationaler Abstieg ausgeglichen oder das Risiko für intergenerationale Abwärtsmobilität minimiert werden kann. Mit Längsschnittdaten der Deutschen Lebensverlaufsstudie finden sich für westdeutsche Frauen und Männer in fünf aufeinander folgenden Geburtskohorten im Zeitraum von 1949 bis 1999 Indizien dafür, dass das Statuserhaltmotiv ein Weiterbildungsmotiv für Personen sein könnte, die einen intergenerationalen Statusverlust erfahren haben. Mit Weiterbildungsanstrengungen können im weiteren Berufsverlauf intergenerationale Abstiege ausgeglichen werden. Ferner haben statuskonsistente Teilnehmer geringere Risiken für einen intergenerationalen Abstieg als Nichtteilnehmer. Berufliche Weiterbildung hat statusreproduzierende Wirkungen im Berufsverlauf."

Employer changes and wage changes: estimation with measurement error in a binary variable (2015)
Zitatform
Bergin, Adele (2015): Employer changes and wage changes. Estimation with measurement error in a binary variable. In: Labour, Jg. 29, H. 2, S. 194-223. DOI:10.1111/labr.12051
Abstract
"Self-reported tenure is often used to determine job changes. We show there are substantial inconsistencies in these responses; consequently, we risk misclassifying job changes as stays and vice versa. An estimator from Hausman et al. is applied to a job change model for Ireland, and we find that ignoring misclassification may substantially underestimate the true number of changes and lead to diminished covariate effects. The main contribution of the paper is to control for misclassification when estimating the wage effects of job mobility. A two-step approach is adopted. We find ignoring misclassification leads to a significant downwards bias in the wage impact, and we provide an estimate that corrects for measurement error." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Income inequality and intergenerational income mobility in the United States (2015)

Bloome, Deirdre (2015): Income inequality and intergenerational income mobility in the United States. In: Social forces, Jg. 93, H. 3, S. 1047-1080. DOI:10.1093/sf/sou092
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))

Has education become more positional?: educational expansion and labour market outcomes, 1985 - 2007 (2015)
Zitatform
Bol, Thijs (2015): Has education become more positional? Educational expansion and labour market outcomes, 1985 - 2007. In: Acta sociologica, Jg. 58, H. 2, S. 105-120. DOI:10.1177/0001699315570918
Abstract
"Educational expansion has had important effects on society. However, it has not yet been acknowledged that expansion might have changed the way in which education operates in labour markets. We argue that, as a result of educational expansion, a positional model of education becomes more important whereby labour market rewards do not primarily depend on absolute skill levels, but instead on workers' relative positions in the labour market. Analyzing data from the International Social Survey Programme from 1985 to 2007 for 28 countries, we find support for the claim that education has become increasingly positional with educational expansion."

Abstract
"Theoretisch lassen sich Lohnunterschiede zwischen Migranten und Einheimischen mithilfe der Humankapitaltheorie erklären. Diese unterstellt Ausstattungsunterschiede oder eine Abwertung von Humankapital bei Migration. Trotzdem bleibt auch nach Berücksichtigung von Humankapital-Variablen meist ein unerklärter Lohnunterschied zwischen Migranten und Einheimischen. Wir benutzen einen umfangreichen Längsschnittdatensatz (ALWA-ADIAB) und analysieren die Arbeitsplatzmobilität von Migranten und Einheimischen in Deutschland, wobei wir zwischen freiwilligen, unfreiwilligen, internen und anderen Wechseln unterscheiden. Wir finden unterschiedliche Übergangsmuster und können - mithilfe von fixed-effects Regressionen - einen substantiellen Teil der Lohnlücke mit Unterschieden im Jobwechsel-Verhalten erklären."

Mobility across firms and occupations among graduates from apprenticeship (2015)
Zitatform
Fitzenberger, Bernd, Stefanie Licklederer & Hanna Zwiener (2015): Mobility across firms and occupations among graduates from apprenticeship. (ZEW discussion paper 2015-022), Mannheim, 16 S.
Abstract
"Distinguishing carefully between mobility across firms and across occupations, this study provides causal estimates of the wage effects of mobility among graduates from apprenticeship in Germany. Our instrumental variables approach exploits variation in regional labor market characteristics. Pure firm changes and occupation-and-job changes after graduation from apprenticeship result in average wage losses, whereas an occupation change within the training firm results in persistent wage gains. For the majority of cases a change of occupation involves a career progression. In contrast, for job switches the wage loss dominates." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

The U-shapes of occupational mobility (2015)

Groes, Fane, Philipp Kircher & Iourii Manovskii (2015): The U-shapes of occupational mobility. In: The Review of Economic Studies, Jg. 82, H. 2, S. S 659-692. DOI:10.1093/restud/rdu037
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."

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

Determinants of declining wage mobility in the new economy (2015)

Maume, David J. & George Wilson (2015): Determinants of declining wage mobility in the new economy. In: Work and occupations, Jg. 42, H. 1, S. 35-72. DOI:10.1177/0730888414552707
Abstract
"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."

How specific is apprenticeship training? Evidence from inter-firm and occupational mobility after graduation (2015)

Mueller, Barbara & Jürg Schweri (2015): How specific is apprenticeship training? Evidence from inter-firm and occupational mobility after graduation. In: Oxford economic papers, Jg. 67, H. 4, S. 1057-1077. DOI:10.1093/oep/gpv040
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."

Occupational and regional mobility as substitutes: a new approach to understanding job changes and wage inequality (2015)

Abstract
"Arbeitsplatzmobilität bietet Arbeitnehmern die Möglichkeit höhere Löhne zu erzielen, doch die Höhe der Lohnzuwächse variiert erheblich. Wir argumentieren, dass Teile dieser Ungleichheit aus einem Trade-Off zwischen beruflicher und regionaler Mobilität resultieren. Beide Mobilitätsarten stellen alternative Strategien dar, um die Arbeitsmarktposition zu verbessern. Sie sind aber an spezifische Restriktionen gebunden. Hohe Kosten für regionale Mobilität können deshalb zu beruflicher Mobilität führen, auch wenn die Abschreibung von beruflichem Humankapital niedrigere Lohnanstiege hervorruft. Wir greifen auf verknüpfte retrospektive Lebensverlaufsdaten für Deutschland zurück (ALWA-ADIAB) und benutzen Competing-Risk Regressionen um zu zeigen, dass Restriktionen für eine Mobilitätsart dazu führen, dass Individuen eher die andere Mobilitätsform wählen. Mithilfe von Fixed-Effects-Regressionen zeigen wir, dass berufliche Mobilität - verglichen mit regionaler Mobilität - zu niedrigeren Lohnanstiegen führt. Aus den Ergebnissen schlussfolgern wir, dass der Trade-Off zwischen beruflicher und regionaler Mobilität Teile der ungleichen Lohnerträge durch Arbeitsplatzmobilität erklärt und zur Lohnungleichheit beiträgt. Wir erwarten, dass diese Mechanismen zukünftig weiter an Relevanz gewinnen, da technologischer und institutioneller Wandel berufliche Anforderungen verändert und somit Mobilitätsanreize setzt."

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."

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

Schnitzlein, Daniel D. (2014): A new look at intergenerational mobility in Germany compared to the US. (SOEPpapers on multidisciplinary panel data research at DIW Berlin 689), Berlin, 35 S.
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))

Better workers move to better firms: a simple test to identify sorting (2013)
Zitatform
Bartolucci, Cristian & Francesco Devicienti (2013): Better workers move to better firms. A simple test to identify sorting. (Carlo Alberto notebooks 332), Turin, 51 S.
Abstract
"We propose a simple test that uses information on workers' mobility, wages and firms' profits to identify the sign and strength of assortative matching. The basic intuition underlying our empirical strategy is that, in the presence of positive (negative) assortative matching, good workers are more (less) likely to move to better firms than bad workers. Assuming that agents' payoffs are increasing in their own types, our test exploits within-firm variation on wages to rank workers by their types and firm profits to rank firms. We use a panel data set that combines social security earnings records for workers in the Veneto region of Italy with detailed balance-sheet data for firms. We find robust evidence that positive assortative matching is pervasive in the labor market. This result is in contrast with what we find from correlating the worker and firm fixed effects in standard Mincerian wage equations." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Income inequality, equality of opportunity, and intergenerational mobility (2013)

Corak, Miles (2013): Income inequality, equality of opportunity, and intergenerational mobility. (IZA discussion paper 7520), Bonn, 28 S.
Abstract
"Families, labor markets, and public policies all structure a child's opportunities and determine the extent to which adult earnings are related to family background. Cross-country comparisons and the underlying trends suggest that these drivers will most likely lower the degree of intergenerational earnings mobility for the next generation of Americans coming of age in a more polarized labor market, while the substantial rise in the income shares of the top 1 percent, their access to sources of high-quality human capital investment for their children, and the intergenerational transmission of employers and wealth will imply a much higher rate of transmission of economic advantage at the very top."

Interpreting trends in intergenerational income mobility (2013)
Zitatform
Nybom, Martin & Jan Stuhler (2013): Interpreting trends in intergenerational income mobility. (IZA discussion paper 7514), Bonn, 39 S.
Abstract
"We examine how intergenerational income mobility responds to structural changes in a simple theoretical model of intergenerational transmission, deviating from the existing literature by explicitly analyzing the transition path between steady states. We find that mobility depends not only on current but also on past transmission mechanisms, such that changing policies, institutions or economic conditions may generate long-lasting trends. Variation in mobility levels across countries may thus be partly explained by differences in former institutions; current mobility trends may be caused by institutional changes in the past. We further find that transitions between steady states tend to be non-monotonic. Changes in the relative returns to different skills or a shift towards a less plutocratic and more meritocratic economy raise mobility initially, but also generate a negative trend over subsequent generations. Times of change thus tend to be times of high mobility, and declining mobility today may not reflect a recent deterioration of equality of opportunity but rather major improvements made in the past."

Lohn- und Einkommensmobilität in Deutschland: Ursachen, Interdependenzen und empirische Befunde (2013)

Abstract
"Die Lohnmobilität ist in Deutschland langfristig konstant geblieben, während die Einkommensmobilität im Trend gesunken ist. Gleichwohl geht jeder dritte Einkommensaufstieg oder -abstieg mit dem Wechsel der Lohnposition einher. Die insgesamt sinkende Einkommensmobilität zeigt sich bei fast allen Haushaltstypen und auch weitgehend unabhängig vom Erwerbsstatus. Neu- oder Wiedereinsteiger auf dem Arbeitsmarkt haben den Trend fallender Mobilität in den letzten Jahren allerdings wieder umkehren können. Sowohl bei den Verdiensten als auch beim Äquivalenzeinkommen führt ein hohes Bildungsniveau zu einer erhöhten Aufstiegschance und zu einer verminderten Abstiegsgefahr. Die größte Erhöhung der Aufstiegschancen ergibt sich durch den Wechsel aus einer Phase der Nicht-Erwerbstätigkeit in Erwerbstätigkeit. Daran hat sich seit 2005 nichts Wesentliches geändert. Auch der Einfluss der Lohnmobilität auf die Einkommensmobilität ist seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre nicht markant schwächer geworden." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Money on the table?: firms' and workers' gains from productivity spillovers through worker mobility (2013)

Stoyanov, Andrey & Nikolay Zubanov (2013): Money on the table? Firms' and workers' gains from productivity spillovers through worker mobility. (IZA discussion paper 7702), Bonn, 54 S.
Abstract
"We estimate how much of the gains from productivity spillovers through worker mobility is retained by the hiring firms, by the workers who bring spillovers, and by the other workers. Using linked employer-employee data from Danish manufacturing for the period 1995-2007, we find that at least two-thirds of the total output gain of 0.11% per year is netted by the firms, while the workers who bring spillovers receive at most 6% of it as the wage premium. The large share retained by the firms implies that spillovers through worker mobility are mostly a positive externality to them." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

A theory of occupational choice with endogenous fertility (2012)

Abstract
"Theories based on partial equilibrium reasoning alone cannot explain the widespread negative cross-sectional correlation between parental wages and fertility, without restrictive assumptions on preferences and childcare costs. We argue that incorporating a dynamic general equilibrium analysis of returns to human capital can help explain observed empirical patterns. Other by-products of this theory include explanations for intergenerational mobility without stochastic shocks, connections between mobility and fertility patterns, and locally determinate steady states. Comparative statics exercises on steady states shed light on the effects of education, childcare subsidies, child labor regulations, and income redistribution policy on long run living standards."
