Berufswahl

Was will ich werden? Welche Ausbildung, welches Studium passt zu mir und bietet langfristig sichere Perspektiven auf dem Arbeitsmarkt? Die Wahl eines Berufes gehört zu den wichtigen biographischen Weichenstellungen, auch wenn sie heute keine Festlegung für ein ganzes (Berufs-)leben mehr darstellt. Sie hat Auswirkungen auf die spätere ökonomische Sicherheit, den sozialen Status und auf Chancen zur Entfaltung der Persönlichkeit.
Dieses Themendossier bietet eine Auswahl von Literatur- und Forschungsprojektnachweisen zur Berufswahlforschung in Deutschland und anderen Ländern. Sie gibt einen Überblick über theoretische Ansätze und empirische Befunde zur Erklärung des Berufswahlverhaltens, zu Motiven der Berufswahl bei besonderen Personengruppen sowie zu Bestimmungsgründen und Einflussfaktoren bei der Entscheidungsfindung.

    Zitatform

    Lee, Jing Young (2018): The upward trend in women's college-going. The role of teenagers' anticipated future labour force attachment. In: Applied Economics, Jg. 50, H. 30, S. 3271-3284. DOI:10.1080/00036846.2017.1420888

    Abstract

    "This article focuses on the role of teenagers' anticipated labour force participation in explaining the upward trend in U.S. women's college-going. A simple conceptual model implies that individuals with more anticipated lifetime hours of work are more likely to invest in college education. My analysis using data from three National Longitudinal Surveys supports the theoretical implication. This finding, combined with the trend towards higher work expectations of young women across birth cohorts, may account in part for the upward trends in women's college attendance and completion."

    Magnusson, Charlotta & Magnus Nermo (2018): From childhood to young adulthood. The importance of self-esteem during childhood for occupational achievements among young men and women. In: Journal of youth studies, Jg. 21, H. 10, S. 1392-1410. DOI:10.1080/13676261.2018.1468876

    Abstract

    "This study investigates the impact of self-esteem during childhood on men's and women's occupational prestige in young adulthood. By combining first-hand information from parents in the Swedish Level-of-Living surveys (LNU) 2000 and their children in the Child-LNU in 2000 and the follow-up study in LNU-2010, we are able to assess how self-esteem during adolescence is related to occupational prestige in adulthood. Multivariate analyses were used to determine whether associations between self-esteem (global and domain-specific) in childhood (aged 10 - 18 years) and occupational prestige in young adulthood (aged 20 - 28) exist and, if so, what the magnitudes of these associations are for each respective gender.
    For women, there is a positive association between confidence in mathematics and prestige, even when accounting for actual math grades. Global self-esteem is positively related to later occupational prestige as well. For men, self-esteem is unrelated to occupational prestige. Only actual performance in mathematics is important for men's occupational achievements.
    These results indicate the importance of taking gender differences into account when investigating how self-esteem is related to outcomes in young adulthood. A possible implication is the importance of focusing on the development of self-esteem among children, particularly girls, in school." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Under pressure to become: from a student to entrepreneurial self (2018)

    Oinonen, Eriikka (2018): Under pressure to become: from a student to entrepreneurial self. In: Journal of youth studies, Jg. 21, H. 10, S. 1344-1360. DOI:10.1080/13676261.2018.1468022

    Abstract

    "This paper discusses how entrepreneurial discourse and the idea of the entrepreneurial self are internalised by university students, and how this affects thoughts about the education-work transition, as well as students' ideas and feelings about their future. The data was gathered through visual and narrative methods, composed of reflection texts attached to pictures and empathy-based-stories written by students about to graduate from BA and MA programmes in the social sciences, humanities, business, and administration at the University of Tampere (Finland) and University of Barcelona (Spain). The data-driven analysis reveals that university students have internalised the entrepreneurial ethos but not uncritically. They question the economy-based, work-oriented entrepreneurial self -discourse. Work and income are no longer trusted as grounds for a good life. Although students wish for steady income from a permanent job, they are very aware of the erratic reality. Consequently, they aspire for a balance between work and life. They emphasise rootedness to a place and physically close social relationships as the resources to cope with the uncertainties in working life and society, and as the most important components for a good life. Perhaps the students are in the process of updating the components for a good life to better match with the current reality." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Plug, Erik, Bas van der Klaauw & Lennart Ziegler (2018): Do parental networks pay off? Linking children's labor-market outcomes to their parents' friends. In: The Scandinavian journal of economics, Jg. 120, H. 1, S. 268-295. DOI:10.1111/sjoe.12227

    Abstract

    "In this paper, we examine whether children are better off if their parents have more elaborate social networks. Using data on high-school friendships of parents, we analyze whether the number and characteristics of friends affect the labor-market outcomes of children. While parental friendships formed in high school appear long lasting, we find no significant impact on their children's occupational choices and earnings prospects. These results do not change when we account for network endogeneity, network persistency, and network measurement error. Only when children enter the labor market do friends of parents have a marginally significant but small influence on their occupational choice."

    Rönnlund, Maria, Per-Åke Rosvall & Monica Johansson (2018): Vocational or academic track? Study and career plans among Swedish students living in rural areas. In: Journal of Youth Studies, Jg. 21, H. 3, S. 360-375. DOI:10.1080/13676261.2017.1380303

    Abstract

    "This ethnographic study explores how rural lower secondary school students reflect on study and career choices, focusing on the choice between vocational and academic upper secondary programs. Applying a spatial perspective, we analyze individual students' reflections about study and career choices within a variety of rural regions, and compare patterns in the regions. The results indicate complex interactions between structural factors and individual dispositions. In places where education levels were low and the local labor market predominantly offered unskilled manual and service work, there was a stronger tendency to choose vocational programs than in places with higher education levels and access to a more varied labor market. Likewise, there was an association between strongly gendered labor markets and gender-typical choices. However, individual students positioned themselves actively in relation to the local place, its local labor market and social relations; their choices were place-bound to varying degrees, and chose upper secondary programs and presented ideas about prospective careers that were harmonious with the local labor market in some cases, but discordant in other cases. The results are discussed in the framework of individuals' horizon for actions." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Venus, Mars, and Math: Gender, Societal Affluence, and Eighth Graders' Aspirations for STEM (2017)

    Charles, Maria (2017): Venus, Mars, and Math: Gender, Societal Affluence, and Eighth Graders' Aspirations for STEM. In: Socius, Jg. 3, S. 1-16. DOI:10.1177/2378023117697179

    Abstract

    "The author explores how the gender gap in aspirations for scientific, technical, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) work changes with societal affluence. Over-time data on cohorts of eighth graders in 32 countries reveal that aspirations for mathematically related work become more gender differentiated as societal affluence grows. This relationship holds controlling for students' social class backgrounds, mathematical achievement, and affinity for school, and it is not explained by cross-national differences in the economic integration of women, gender stereotyping of science, or Internet access. Observed patterns of gender segregation reflect more than just women's greater freedom to indulge tastes for non-STEM work in affluent societies; tastes are themselves more gendered in these contexts."

    Media and occupational choice (2017)

    Konon, Alexander & Alexander Kritikos (2017): Media and occupational choice. (DIW-Diskussionspapiere 1683), Berlin, 46 S.

    Abstract

    "We address the question of whether media influences occupational choices. To theoretically examine media effects, we construct a dynamic Bayesian occupational choice model with sequential decisions under ambiguity due to imperfect information. We show that sufficiently intensive positive media articles and reports about entrepreneurship increase the probability of self-employment and decrease the probability of wage work. To test our model, we use an instrumental variable approach to identify causal media effects using US micro data and a country-level macro panel with two different media variables. We find that an increase in positive media articles and reports about entrepreneurs generates effects on choice probabilities that are consistent with our model."

    Mansour, Fady (2017): Does employment during adolescence reduce adult welfare participation? In: Australian Journal of Labour Economics, Jg. 20, H. 3, S. 199-227.

    Abstract

    "This study is the first to use welfare participation to investigate the impact of working during adolescence on outcomes later in life. I use National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) 1979 data to investigate the impact of early-life employment on both the welfare payment and probability of welfare participation in the respondents' 20s and 30s. I use a variety of model specifications, including random effect and Heckman selection models, to check the robustness of the results. The study shows that the impact is generated mainly from the hours worked during the ages of 17, 18 and 19. Working one extra full-time week per year between the ages of 17 and 19 reduces the probability of receiving welfare in the 20s by 8.2 per cent (2.5 percentage points) for females and 10.9 per cent (2 percentage points) for males."

    Abstract

    "PhD recipients acquire discipline-specific knowledge and a range of relevant skills during their training in the life sciences, physical sciences, computational sciences, social sciences, and engineering. Empirically testing the applicability of these skills to various careers held by graduates will help assess the value of current training models. This report details results of an Internet survey of science PhDs (n = 8099) who provided ratings for fifteen transferrable skills. Indeed, analyses indicated that doctoral training develops these transferrable skills, crucial to success in a wide range of careers including research-intensive (RI) and non-research-intensive (NRI) careers. Notably, the vast majority of skills were transferrable across both RI and NRI careers, with the exception of three skills that favored RI careers (creativity/innovative thinking, career planning and awareness skills, and ability to work with people outside the organization) and three skills that favored NRI careers (time management, ability to learn quickly, ability to manage a project). High overall rankings suggested that graduate training imparted transferrable skills broadly. Nonetheless, we identified gaps between career skills needed and skills developed in PhD training that suggest potential areas for improvement in graduate training. Therefore, we suggest that a two-pronged approach is crucial to maximizing existing career opportunities for PhDs and developing a career-conscious training model: 1) encouraging trainees to recognize their existing individual skill sets, and 2) increasing resources and programmatic interventions at the institutional level to address skill gaps. Lastly, comparison of job satisfaction ratings between PhD-trained employees in both career categories indicated that those in NRI career paths were just as satisfied in their work as their RI counterparts. We conclude that PhD training prepares graduates for a broad range of satisfying careers, potentially more than trainees and program leaders currently appreciate."

    Hunter, Alison & Raewyn Boersen (2016): Attracting girls to a career in programming. A New Zealand investigation. In: International Journal of Gender, Science and Technology, Jg. 8, H. 3, S. 338-359.

    Abstract

    "Various interventions to attract girls into computing careers have been instigated around the world in recent years. There have also been many efforts to understand factors influencing girls' career choices, and several career choice models have been developed.
    This pilot study investigated the career preferences of teenage girls who participated in a New Zealand-based intervention: the Programming Challenge 4 Girls. Results revealed three sociability needs as the girls' primary factors influencing career choice. The girls wanted a career that will allow them to engage socially, with a sense of fun, and in a 'cool' environment.
    The study also investigated sources of information about programming careers. Most girls did not know where to seek programming career information and their parents and career advisors were found to need more knowledge about IT careers. A government careers website was unsatisfactory with respect to teenage girls' preferences, whereas an industry-based programme partially addressed girls' needs. The paper distinguishes between formal and informal sources of programming career information and proposes a modification to a widely-cited model of girls' career choices."

    The role of cultural contexts in explaining cross-national gender gaps in stem expectations (2016)

    McDaniel, Anne (2016): The role of cultural contexts in explaining cross-national gender gaps in stem expectations. In: European Sociological Review, Jg. 32, H. 1, S. 122-133. DOI:10.1093/esr/jcv078

    Abstract

    "In recent decades, women have made impressive inroads in education and the labour market in most countries; yet, they often remain under-represented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professions. One way to understand women's under-representation in STEM is to examine how boys and girls develop their career expectations during adolescence, as this is a critical time when individuals begin to plan their futures. Prior cross-national research finds that gender stratification in education, work, and politics in a country affects the size of male-favourable gender gaps on math and science achievement tests for adolescents. Countries with more gender equality have smaller gender gaps in math and science. But, it is unknown how gender stratification or cultural ideologies impact the development of boys' and girls' STEM career expectations. Do countries with less gender equality have smaller male-favourable gender gaps in STEM career expectations? Do countries with less gender egalitarian have larger male-favourable gender gaps in STEM career expectations? Using data on student's occupational expectations from the 2006 Program for International Student Assessment and data on country-level gender stratification and genderegalitarian ideologies from the World Bank and European Values Survey, I study the gender gap in 15-year- olds' expectations to enter a STEM career across 24 countries."

    Abstract

    "This paper provides causal estimates of the impact of service programs on those who serve, using data from a web-based survey of former Teach For America (TFA) applicants. We estimate the effect of voluntary youth service using a discontinuity in the TFA application process. Participating in TFA increases racial tolerance, makes individuals more optimistic about the life prospects of poor children, and makes them more likely to work in education."

    "Die Beiträge des Bandes beleuchten geschlechtsuntypische Berufs- und Studienwahlen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und bieten empirische Erkenntnisse sowie praktische Hinweise für die Genderrelevanz des Berufsorientierungsprozesses.
    Hinsichtlich der seit Jahrzehnten erfolgenden Anstrengungen in Bezug auf eine Erweiterung des geschlechterstereotyp eingeschränkten Berufswahlspektrums sind bislang nur geringe Erfolge zu erkennen. Koordinierte Forschungsanstrengungen sind erforderlich, um die Frage zu beantworten, wie eine Verbreiterung der Interessen und die Öffnung des Berufswahlspektrums für Mädchen und Jungen nachhaltig(er) als bisher erfolgen kann. Im vorliegenden Band werden Ergebnisse von Studien aus der Schweiz und aus Deutschland vorgestellt, die Erkenntnisse und damit zugleich Bausteine für eine geschlechtersensible Berufsorientierung liefern können."

    Abstract

    "Die europaweite Anerkennung von Studienabschlüssen hat zur Gründung von medizinischen Fakultäten vor allem in Mittel- und Osteuropa geführt, die ein Studium in Deutsch oder Englisch anbieten und Studierende aus den wohlhabenden Ländern der EU und vor allem aus Deutschland anziehen. Im Unterschied zu einem Studium der Medizin in Deutschland ist der Zugang zu diesen Universitäten nicht von der Abiturnote abhängig, sondern von der Fähigkeit, hohe Studiengebühren bezahlen zu können. Der Artikel vergleicht den sozialen Hintergrund von deutschen Medizinstudierenden in Deutschland mit dem von deutschen Studierenden in Ungarn. Der Vergleich zeigt, dass der Studierendenanteil aus höheren sozialen Klassen in Ungarn deutlich größer ist als in Deutschland. Das Studium in Ungarn dient vor allem der unmittelbaren Reproduktion des Berufes der Eltern, da viele der Eltern der deutschen Studierenden in Ungarn selbst den Arztberuf ausüben. Das Beispiel illustriert, wie Europäisierungs- und Globalisierungsprozesse die Möglichkeiten der Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheit verändern. Es sind vor allem die oberen Klassen, die von der nationalstaatlichen Öffnung profitieren." (Autorenreferat, © Springer-Verlag)

    Links between family gender socialization experiences in childhood and gendered occupational attainment in young adulthood (2015)

    Abstract

    "Gendered occupational segregation remains prevalent across the world. Although research has examined factors contributing to the low number of women in male-typed occupations - namely science, technology, engineering, and math - little longitudinal research has examined the role of childhood experiences in both young women's and men's later gendered occupational attainment. This study addressed this gap in the literature by examining family gender socialization experiences in middle childhood - namely parents' attitudes and work and family life - as contributors to the gender typicality of occupational attainment in young adulthood. Using data collected from mothers, fathers, and children over approximately 15 years, the results revealed that the associations between childhood socialization experiences (~ 10 years old) and occupational attainment (~ 26 years old) depended on the sex of the child. For sons but not daughters, mothers' more traditional attitudes toward women's roles predicted attaining more gender-typed occupations. In addition, spending more time with fathers in childhood predicted daughters attaining less and sons acquiring more gender-typed occupations in young adulthood. Overall, evidence supports the idea that childhood socialization experiences help to shape individuals' career attainment and thus contribute to gender segregation in the labor market."

    Abstract

    "Although gender-based occupational segregation has declined in past decades, the world of work remains segregated by gender. Grounded in research showing that individuals tend to choose jobs that match their interests and skills, this study examined the longitudinal associations between gendered activity interests and skills from middle childhood through adolescence and tested gendered interests and skills, measured in adolescence, as predictors of occupational outcomes in young adulthood. Data were collected from 402 participants at four time points - when they averaged 10, 12, 16, and 25 years old. Results revealed that the longitudinal linkages between male-typed interests and skills were bidirectional, that both male-typed interests and skills in adolescence predicted working in male-typed occupations in young adulthood, and that skills, but not interests, predicted income. In contrast, female-typed interests predicted female-typed skills, but not the reverse, adolescent female-typed skills (but not interests) predicted working in female-typed occupations in young adulthood, and there were no links between female-typed interests or skills and income. Discussion focuses on the differential meanings and developmental implications of male- versus female-typed interests and skills." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Rocheleau, Gregory C. (2015): Pathways to work: social structural differences in the relationships between college expectations, planfulness, and intense adolescent work. In: Work and occupations, Jg. 42, H. 1, S. 103-131. DOI:10.1177/0730888414554237

    Abstract

    "This research examines variation in the relationships between college expectations, planfulness, and intense adolescent work by socioeconomic factors using data from Add Health (n 1/48,836). Results show that higher college expectations are related to higher odds of intense school-year work among lower social class youth, but lower odds of intense work among youth from higher social class backgrounds. Moreover, planful adolescents are more likely to work intensely during the school year among youth from disadvantaged neighborhoods, but less likely to work intensely among those from advantaged neighborhoods. Results also show less variability in these relationships when considering summer work." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "As Switzerland experiences a severe shortage of nurses, this paper investigates the impact of students' ex ante wage expectations on their choice to pursue a nursing college education. This analysis contributes to a small yet rapidly developing body of literature that uses subjective expectation data to predict educational choices. We surveyed a full cohort of healthcare trainees in their third year of training. The main result is that those trainees (in upper-secondary education) who expected a greater return from nursing college (tertiary education) were more likely to enroll in nursing college later on. This suggests that policies that increase returns from studying nursing can attract students to nursing. In addition, the results confirm that subjective wage expectation data are useful in modeling individual choice." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
